I'm jumping ship.

You never read that in an Exiled post. But watching the ball game I just saw a chevy HD commerical. I agree with it. What you carry is heavier than what you tow. That's why I drive a Ford SD. Built like a tank and seems super safe. Sorry haters for the misdirection.

Watch the commercial and you'll get the message. It isn't brand-specific, but Chevy just hit it.

I'm sorry yall. That's was my pour attempt at some humor. To make myself clear. I will never jump ship. Never. I just saw the commercial today and liked it. Really surprised it was a chevy commercial. Any how that's my feelings as well that my family and every body else on the road out weighs anything I tow.
My ending statement was sarcastic toward Ford haters. You know they love it when a Ford lover bails out. Not this ol boy I'm going down w/ the ship. I think SDs are the safest truck on the road. MHO

Aww, c'mon now. You blew it. I was waiting to read the rest of the thread until everyone else caught up.

That said, I agree - good commercial/message, and one we should all embrace.

I know but I cringe at the thought of me owning a chubbie. I couldn't bare the thought of everyone really thinking I jumped. Lol

i always thought that was a good commercial as well, but it didn't steer me to buy.

on a lighter side, i don't remember where i read this but someone posted something like this in a thread i read a while back

Do you remember the Chevy commercial where the narrator says "85% of all Chevy trucks are still on the road" if you read the fine print on the bottom of the screen it says the other 15% made it home.

If they are still all on the road why can you find nearly non for sale. At least in my area on craigslist, newspaper. Maybe were a ford area and i don't doubt it. See way more on the road. But, there are so many ford trucks old and new still on the road, making there keep.

maybe i didn't post it right but the joke was to mean that 85% broke down on the road while the other 15% made it home.
