People think they are getting a lot or cargo space in an SUV but they ain't. Not compared to a van.

You would think that a monster like the excursion would have a lot of space...

Quote:
Ford Excursions offered 146.4 cubic feet of maximum cargo space. This is the most capacity ever offered in a full-size SUV
Quote:
The Ford Excursion was too heavy to qualify for mandatory EPA testing, so there is no official mpg rating for the vehicle. Its curb weight is 7,361 lbs.
It got about 12 mpg.

Previa Van: 152.3 cu ft cargo space. Curb weight 3600 lbs. 17-20mpg epa
