Chevrolet Suburban vs Ford Excursion

[Doctor_Gonzo]

I want to see your opinions about which is better. Let's compare the top versions:
Chevrolet Suburban 2500 8.1, 345 hp.
Ford Excursion 6.4 V10, 314 hp.
The dimensions of Ford are more than Chevrolet, but Chevy has more powerful engine.
I prefer Chevy. I like its exterior. I like its comfort... I like it all!

I voted Suburban. My family has never owned a Suburban but since 99 my dad has had two Tahoes and is now on his second Avalanche. The ride and fit and finish quality were great on these vehicles so i based my oppinion on that.

Cousin owns a 2000 Jetta IV and I absolutely love it. If I were in the market for an SUV today my the first vehicle I would look at is the Toureg, of course, if price were no object I'd go for the V10 Diesel Toureg.... But ya know. Consequently if I were in the market for a car today my first consideration(for my budget) would be the new Jetta GLi. Hallmark Volkswagen down the road from my apartment has a red one that yells my name everyday. The only thing is, I am in the market for a truck b/c I will need one if I get the job I'm in line to get this fall. To answer your question Coventry, yes.

Would you rate the fit and finish of the Chevy as "great" in comparison to a VW?

I'm not having a go, I'm just curious - The closest thing we have in the UK are Jeeps.

I voted the Suburban, the Excursion is too big, and as noted before the Chevy has the more powerful engine. Also I perfer the looks of the Suburban over the Excursion.

I understand your point completely. The point is also taken, I shall now change my statement from great to "Great for an American SUV".

Totally agree. That Excursion was a mistake by Ford's part.
