We bought an Excuerson so we could fit our dog(he's bigger then most adults), luggage, and anyone else in the truck with us. It's a great truck and it's brilliantly comfortable. We get 12 miles to the gallon-city or freeway-it's pretty stable. A friend of ours just bought a diesel Excursion and it gets 22 miles to the gallon, so we are thinking of selling the unleaded for a diesel.
