When is ford gonna come out with an explorer to compete with the ZR2 or whatever 4X4 edition with the blazer, when are they gonna change the expedition from a mini-van to a potential 4X4, what about an FX4 excursion. An excursion is to big to compete with a tahoe Z71. A little bit to much more money. HOw do we get in touch with ford and tell them what we need and want. I will never buy anything besides a ford but i want to stop putting up with chevy this and Z71 this.

I agree a FX4 option would be nice. However, since the new Explorers and Expeditions have 4 wheel independent suspension, they are never gonna be hardcore off roaders. I have never seen a new Explorer lifted, and have only seen a couple of new lifted Expys. Also, the Excursion is meant to compete with the Surburban and Yukon XL, not the Tahoe and Yukon. The Excursion with it's solid axle's and leaf springs is a far better off road machine than the Z71 Surburban. But, word is that this (2005) is it's last year of production.
By the way, Chevy no longer builds the Blazer. It was replaced with the Trailblazer.
