All the newer half ton commercials are retarded (except Dodge's, because they don't really have any).

I'd like to know how many takes they had to do on that Toyota commercial with the two swinging I-beams. I bet they messed up a couple trucks filming that one.

I never saw that one. What kind of plane was it? One hp only produces about 3lb of static thrust, so any truck vs plane demo is going to favor the truck, big time, and proves nothing. Does anyone know if there is a Youtube copy?

I hope not, could you imagine being the stunt driver and having one of those beams smashing into the truck! I don't care what brand of truck your in, that's gonna hurt!

I think that the truck and trailer were actually there. But I would bet that they along with the swinging beam, pavement, towers and maybe even the desert are all Computer Graphics. If you doubt me, just take a look at some of the more recent movies (transformer for one, and the new Will Smith Movie Legend was all filmed indoors against a green or blue screen) with cars and trucks. Far more complex scenes that what we see in these commercials... I for one choose to believe that it's all faked. Probably cheaper as well!

It just goes to show you that these commercials can convince any baby boomin tree
huggin liberal that a foriegn product is better. Like the titan, it proves that the chain
made in china isnt strong enough to but use a chian from America and the frame would've snapped like a pretzel, and the toy commercial with the beams if you look close you can actually see the beam scrap the hood of the truck so quessin they
had to go with that one cuz they ran outta trucks for the shoot. and that toy pullin
the cargo container shoot my 97' escort could pull that up empty on rollers, yup it's
true everyone is trying to prove they have a better truck than Ford by going to such
extremes, BUT it has'nt worked for 31 years.

The Titan comercial is so fake, its really sad Nissan trys and make that claim,
Reality?

Truthful points?

Based on what, pray tell?

This guy has no reality at all!

What a joke!

Every single one of his posts makes absolutely no sense.

(Fellow members, read thru Mr. Experts back posts...see if they make any sense to you)
He's NEVER ever driven any of the competitive trucks....

..Yet, he blabbers on how awful they are, but has no klew.

If someone hasn't researched the competition, they can't make any claim.

I'll tell you who's a fake: 93RangerXL4x2.

LOL!

But you have to admit, to those who have taken off the blue oval glasses along time ago, his posts are somewhat comedic. ( well, what you can understand anyways )

And the same "visually abled" members see right thru his posts.

How can he say it like it is, when he has no klew what it is?

Anyone can post anything...but without research, it means nothing!

Posting BS, opens the door.

This member constantly posts the same old tired story.

Ford is good, other trucks are bad.

But without doing one second of research, he has no idea what he's talking about.

Well I can tell you with my experiences in owning truck and dedicated to Ford and watch other owners closely with there other brands that Ford is the proven Truck. And in some eyes and pay attention that they care about Ford and that is why they are here not to bash Ford like others have been doing..


I see a lot of pointless negative comments about Ford that are not true in my book and my opinion that is trolling..I my self is a Die-Hard Ford lover and intend on staying that way..
