These sell well in Texas, regardless of the Navigator (which also sells well).
The Federal Reserve will have to install new presses, dedicated to monies they will need to print just for the Texas/Oklahoma Ford dealers.

Afton, Oklahoma, is home to one of the last, if not THE last, sections of the original 9-foot wide route 66 roadbed. It’s referred to as the Sidewalk Hwy or the Ribbon Road. I can’t imagine a major highway being only 9 feet wide, but that’s what it was in the beginning.

Chinese auto sales were already in decline before Trump got busy touting his trade deals. The industry as a whole, had over-cooked that golden goose, regardless of any political action no matter who it was from.

Your mom needs a Jaguar XJ.

I like it, but still think the price is a bit high.   And it would need some wider whitewalls than what it’s currently rolling on.

They aren’t going to play every trick in the book in the first quarter. They’ll likely trickle out special editions geared toward various sets of users. Within reason of course. I wouldn’t expect manual trans or anything like that... but a weight reducing track pack seems like something they’d do after the hype wears…

This! Probably the most misunderstood option in modern cardom. Everyone thinks their seats are going to blow refrigerated cold air, but it’s just circulating cabin air up your butt. Get in the car on any summer day in Houston, crank up the ventilated seat button, and it feels like you accidentally turned the heated…

Everything has its place. Maybe not for you, but for somebody. I live in Texas and Oklahoma, where many of these luxury trucks do get used for work truck stuff, even in the big city suburbs by the weekend ranchers.

You’ve never spent time in Texas, Oklahoma, or Kansas have you? Yes they are ridiculous, and yes, they do get used to do truck stuff...all the luxury accountrements be damned!

You prefer the daily garbage about Tesla, and Carlos Ghosn instead?

I’ve never been more turned off by an opening sentence.

My parents (aged 67 and 62) recently picked up a 2014 Model S, and are of course, just giddy over it. I couldn’t be more let down.

All the people standing along there was the first thing that crossed my mind also. Yeah, the driving is cool AF... but holy shit, those people!

Amen!

I’m sure the cargo room is great in all its wagon glory, but the back seats look quite smallish. I’ll admit that halfway through this article I started skimming... but I don’t recall seeing much mention of the backseat, aside from letting the dogs lie there on your trip? I have three kids, so this is something I’d…

Amen, and they all work for, and/or comment on, Jalopnik.

YES! Okie-Texan here, and I can confirm. Moved from rural Oklahoma (the beautiful northeast part), to the suburban hell of the Houston Metro area. American’s DRIVE, and with the exception of the New England and other northeast areas, we drive FAR. We also do most of this driving at 65+mph in town, and 85+ out on the…

Bro. McParland, I’d love to see a write-up with your take on all the comments this has garnered.

Nice ride!

The REVERSE gear, about Checker Cab, was way more interesting than everything above it today.
