The EL is 14.8" longer according to official specs, but I don't know how much of that is actually cargo length. I also don't know how many long the XLT's cargo area is to begin with. My Mountaineer's cargo area is 72" so I'm trying to get a feel for what I gain with the 2 Expedition models.

gotcha...the expedition will fit a 7-ft table with no probs...and the EL adds even more...I believe its an extra foot of cargo space on top of the standard length

I measured 86" from the back of the front driver seat to the closed tailgate on the floor on my non-EL XLT. That will change a little depending on where your driver seat is set.

EL is longer compared to XLT, not enough room for cargo if it has a full passengers.
Just saying as I do have an XLT model.


Thanks to trucktrend for the picture.
