While it is pure speculation and jest, the Excursion is 80" wide and 80"
high, according to the sales brochure. Our Spridgets are 54" wide, so, with
a good set of ramps, you probably can drive a Spridget into the back,
although it would hang out the tailgate(the cargo area is about 9' long, and
the Spridgets are just under 11.5 feet long).
