New Ford Commercial

Has anyone heard the new Ford truck commercial by Toby Keith. He says ( If you look at problems as opportunities your a Ford truck man) Very true.

my buddy is a die hard super duty lover (he has an 03 F-350 7.3) and that commercial when the dually pulls the semi out from the tunnel makes him wet himself everytime. we were watching football the other day and he was telling me to look at what a real truck can do...and thats when i said yea...the semi with a cummins had enough power to get itself stuck in a tunnel with an oversized load

That sounds like a step down. The Super Duty's have already pulled out a stuck ice breaker!

As has been stated here before....:
90% of Ford Trucks Ever Built
Are Still On The Road

The other 10% Actually Made It ALL The Way Home

They weren't really lowering a Rescue-Tow vehicle, They were dropping anchor.

I think Ford relies too much on their market place share and reputation instead of taking care of the main problems. If GM or DC had the 100's of lawsuits against them for just the Diesel engine alone, they would be sunk. But Ford just keeps pumping them out like nothing happened..

The problem is...look how many of the POS 6.0's there are on the road....especially the 05-06's. Why should Ford give a "rats behind" about the issues, when they sell like crazy.

They are all over the place......on the boat ramps pointed nose down into the water, they are on flat beds taking a relaxing cruise to the dealer for service, they are sleeping on the sides of our roads,....they are all over the place

Can't these people read the websites??? Don't they do any research???? Or are they that big of an idiot???

Ops.........we can answer that last question quite easily.......look at the truck they bought!
