Two people could sleep in comfort on the huge, flat cargo area. Believe it or not, we managed to fill an Excursion. We were finishing up a three-day float down Oregon's Deschutes River. As planned, the river guide in charge of setting up camp had arrived at our vehicles ahead of us. He quickly stuffed all of the supplies from base camp and enough fishing equipment for eight people inside. When he was done stuffing, only seating for two remained and the rear-view mirror was rendered useless. Granted, he could have packed more efficiently, but he was grateful for such a large storage container. After reorganizing the equipment and putting some of it into another vehicle, six of us piled into the Excursion and made the long trip back to the Portland area. Cruising along steadily with this load, the Excursion demonstrated its virtues of size, stability and power. The weary group of fishermen sang its praises all the way back to Portland.
