The Tahoe does have its advantages as far as easy to maintenance and replace parts/motors if something were to go out.

The Excursion also has its advantages as far as space, towing and Diesel. Parking at the house is not an issue.

We are going to look at a few of each this weekend, unless we see an Excursion we really like then more than likely we will go with the Tahoe

Stay away from Torsion bar suspension if you can. I do not think they are very good. Also watch out for the "SUPER DOOPER" air/hydraulic suspension on the chevy's or the special SHOCK setup" They are crap. Very expensive to repair if wore out!!!! I have one (Tahoe) I know for sure...

Excursions are quite different, though.
Nope I meant Expedition. I have 3 friends with them. One 03 the other two are 05 or 06 models. All of them are Eddie Bower editions. All of them are rattle traps. The 03 is the biggest piece of the three. It has constant issues with the door open dinger going off even though the doors are all completely closed. He has had to replace the seat AC module twice and the passenger seat no longer moves. The gear mechanism is stripped. It is a constant issue with that truck. The other two are not much better.

A mod just said a 'chip' in reference to a modification?
