Nicely done. I wonder if they armor those trucks at all, or if they have the same thing we do? They obviously dont have run-flats.

i can see it now, a new ford commercial for their trucks;

ford trucks, built tough
tested tough, in iraq
these trucks were shot up, and still brought their people home. chevy cant say that, dodge cant say that, only ford.

This reminds me of those stupid toyota commercials they have now where the truck gets dropped off a cliff and still drives. They have a few others.

Altleast Ford's is real! haha.
