When the vehicle specifications were first drawn out, the XL Expeditions were picked so they could be used to cary extra backboards or even stretchers in the event of mass casualty or other high demand event. I am suprised to see the particular compartment package because that obviously eliminates the ability to load a stretcher. The EMS Lieutenants do carry alot more stuff than the B/C's. Extra drugs, spare defibrilators, etc. When I rode for three months, I had to keep my turnouts in the backseat because there was no room in the trunk. If I had to pick somone up at the hospital to give them a ride back to quarters, it looked like we were riding in a clown car.
Like Bobby said, I'm also pretty sure that eventually, all of the command vehicles will be the Expedition.
