You don't get it. There are needs for these trucks. When is the last time you towed a 2-horse trailor? AND took your spouse and three kids with you? AND riding gear? Thats' my girlfriend's sister's family. Just becuase status-seeking soccer Mom's buy these is no reason to hate. Some people have a need for certain products. Again, these seem to be popular around here. I see a couple everyday (and this is not the most populated area, duh!). AND I see a lot of SuperDuty's and F350's. Yuppies buy Lexus SUV's. Others buy Excusrsions and Suburbans. Some people need them. And at $10k profit, they seem to meet the demands of any supply and demand review.[/b]
A need for these trucks? Below you will find the the Ford E Series that can do most everything the Excursion can do, but doesn't get as much respect because it is a van. Below is one priced with ALL the options available for it. It is obviously less than an Excursion. On top of that, you can hold 15 people, or stuff, and haul a two horse trailor. Personally, I have seen very few if any Excursions being used to haul anything but a small mother and a couple of kids. (I did see one with a lift kit and the full four wheel drive package...wow) ANyway, the Excursion was brought out to compete with the Suburban and it failed miserably. (Granted, I would drive one, but it wouldn't be to haul horses).
