Does anyone have a link to the Ford commercial where a chevy rolls down the launch, Ford pulls him out. His wife says "that thing sure sunk fast" and the Ford guys says "yea, like a rock"? Been looking for it online and can't find it.

Do you have a link to the actual video? I've tried that site and looked through a bunch of the pages and couldn't find it.

 

I'm up to page 45 so far , no joy ....( From 07 )

 

yea I made it to about 37

 

Haven't found the commercial, but I did find this:

Silverado Sunk at boat ramp gets help from Ford Dually - YouTube

 

anyone know??

 

I can't help locate the commercial but some of the most hilarious but sad things I've ever seen happened on boat launch ramps!

 

Found several references but no actual video. Ford did not have a commercial in the Super Bowl this year.

(Ford's marketing chief is having some Super Bowl regret. The automaker decided not to buy expensive television time for the Super Bowl, said Jim Farley.

But in hindsight he wishes he had taken a more unusual step to garner some buzz.

"My biggest regret is we didn't create a long-form Super Bowl-like ad and promote it," he said in an interview with reporters on the sidelines of the National Automobile Dealers Association convention here.

Ford did run several minutes of commercials earlier during CBS Sports' national telecast of the Michigan State-Michigan basketball game. The Dearborn automaker could have released a special ad online in the week or two leading up to Super Bowl but just not run the spot during the game, getting viewer hits without the cost.)

 

Not the commercial in question, but a funny pic!!!

 

Someone should tell him you are supposed to launch the boat, not the truck!

 

I'm ashamed that he ruined such a beautiful truck!!!

He should be banned from Fords for life!!

 

Better that he be banned from owning ANY sort of vehicle for life! Can you imagine the mayhem he'd create trying to drive the boat up the ramp, across the parking lot and onto the trailer?

 

so so true. i have a 1-2 week long opening for commercial crab around late may early june every year in the puget sound but last year seemed to be the worst for every crabber out there for our opening. our limits where low, heat caused lots of dead loss, our boat ran pretty badly. problems with the buyers, problems with vandilism of boats and and theft of crab, and pots, and one guy had his brand new yamaha 200 stolen.

most of us fish with boats smaller then 30 feet, and can only be out durring day light, so most of us pull our boats nightly, and leave them in the parking lot of the launch. the guy who had his motor stolen on one boat, was running his second boat to pick up his pots, had backed the trailer down the launch with his power stroke, set the parking break, and left it ideling in neutral, jumped back on his boat to load it on the trailer. well some where between the weight of the truck and the angle of the ramp(very steep, i dont pull out there unless in a 4wd) the breaks gave out, the guy realized his truck was rolling down the ramp and needed to stop it and tried to with his boat by giving it some gas and pushing on the trailer, he slipped off the front of the trailer, and smashed into his bumper, tailgate, and camper shell, the bumper put a hole in the boat, and the boat left a dent in his tail gate and shattered the glass on the camper.. worst part of it all, his truck still got swampped. he basically lost 2 boats and half of a truck. he either got lucky or was smart and had his wheel turned so if it did roll, it would hit the dock before the sound swallowed it whole. it ended up driving away hauling what was left of his boat.

we almost lost a f250 at the same launch, my uncle backed the truck down to launch us, in the morning around low tide and the battery went dead after we where gone and had to litterally run to town for a jump, we(the boat) gets back to the truck right around high tide, to find it burried right below the windows with water. we got lucky though, tossed the backup battery from the boat in, and i had to get(swim) in and hope that she fired up.. that old beat up f250 fired up, plowed threw the water, and pulled the 22ft maco up that launch, like thats what it was born to do. that was the first time i ever got to drive in my undies but aint the last lol.

ford needs to send us a video camera and a truck so we can make them some commercials.

 

OMG talk about TMI! Of course in this case it'd be TMDI! (Figger it out for yerself!) Then again who hasn't driven in their skivvies for one reason or another?

They'd be shocked to learn just what happens to their products after they've left the factory!
