My local Ford truck dealer tells me that there is a new version of Expedition that has a longer wheelbase and will come with the new Powerstroke engine.

Any truth to this.

He's probably refering to what will replace the Excursion. I know it's called an E-something, but the exact name escapes me at the moment.

I believe he's probably refering to the fact that Ford can offer a diesel in a SUV and GM has not been able to yet. You'd think a big SUV would be a perfect candidate for a diesel.

I agree. GM was putting the 6.5TD in the Suburban. They should put the Dmax in the Suburban.

No stupid excuses.

I agree hoot. Don't you think there should be a diesel option on every vehicle offered? Well see logical people, people like us, see it that way. But then you get the people that are "in the business" like the CEOs and the bean counters and they just can't seem to make it work.
SUVs are perfect candidates for I4, V6, and V8 diesels. Especially as they are becoming more refined. It's a perfectly viable, good alternative. And it would get all the tree huggers off everybody's back.
