As unpopular as these vehicles are at the moment, however, there's some evidence that while the sales numbers may drop, full-size sport-utes will be with us for quite some time. After all, Chevrolet's Suburban was a steady seller long before it became trendy, and now that buyers who need a truck-based cargo beast have had a taste of the Ford Expedition, it's unlikely that they're going to let it go anytime soon...
