So there you have it. Since the Suburban's 1935 debut, Ford had 65 long years to prepare for this battle, and the results are in. The world's original XL station wagon has its only challenger slaughtered in all the old-fashioned values that once mattered. It's quicker, faster, and more frugal all at once, thanks to a better engine. It brakes shorter, it turns better, its ride is less intrusive, it's ahead in the technology game, and it can even tow more.
But size. For sure, the Excursion's got it beat in size.
