It's a similar size to the Landcruiser stationwagon, and a fair bit wider than the Territory.
As for fuel guzzling:
The latest Ecoboost V6 in F150 has the same city/highway fuel consumption as the V8 Pontiac G8.
So if Expedition was given the Ecoboost V6 it would be no worse than a V8 Commodore,
a V8 diesel would be that much better, even the 2.7 V6 diesel would do in a pinch...
