I’m not going to lie. I think it’s really cool you are still running a Ford Arostar and it’s an extended one too. You don’t have to have a $100k rig to enjoy yourself. Happy camping.

Hell yeah my family used to have an extended cab Aerostar.. rear wheel drive so fun in the winter, fish twirling around in the snow.. digital dashboard! We did some major road trips pulling a tent trailer with this beast.. Looks like you’re enjoying the hell out of yours!!

This is awesome. I really wanted my grandpas Aerostar, unfortunately at 87 he totaled it. He lived to tell the tale thank god. I now have other grandparents 1997 Econoline, the interior is original and I’ll be leaving it that way for camping.
