Do these jeans fit you? And no, we’re actually trying them on this time, not just holding them up!

You can go straight to hell.

My mother-in-law drives this exact car and always brags about buying stuff on sale, as if she outsmarted the entire store.

Same. My mom had a red XLT with the 5.4L. She still buys the ugliest things just because they’re cheap.

Oh, for sure. The one with the boom mic, like truckers use.

Honestly, I do too. Would be great for towing or hauling band gear.

As a big blue-collar guy, this is perfect for work and hauling tools.

@Shannon
Same. Except I’m a skinny engineering student who’d also lift it 6 inches and slap on a Cherry Bomb exhaust for maximum road dominance :joy:

If you want space, go for an E-Series van, though this is comfier. Plus, you could get a front bench seat in these like the F-150. Did you know the ‘97-98 models had a green interior option?

I’m just glad steering wheels without bottom spokes are coming back. My 2014 Explorer makes it awkward to rest my hand there.

Comfort matters a lot, especially when I’m hauling tools and blasting music from my subwoofers.

Perfect for taking the Boy Scouts to church.

I definitely remember heading to a couple of scout camps in one of these.
