I don't know, maybe it's just me, but I think the new Ford F150 slogan is dumb. And it seems I can't avoid it....every other commercial is....

Rethink Truck...Built Ford Tough.

Me thinks Ford should....Rethink Slogan....It's Just Plain Dumb.

Your thoughts?

I like things about all the new trucks (especially the new Nissan Titan) but for advertisements you just can't beat the Chevy 'like a rock' ad to the Bob Seger tune.........

Checkmates owned: 1995 Pulsare 2100BR/1995 Mercury Promax 225 2.5 EFI. 1995 Persuader 183/4.3 LX V6. 1992 Pulse 171/1992 Mercury XR6 150 hp 2.5 liter.

The Ford Truck seems fine, it's just the stupid slogan.

Not that I'm bias, but if you've driven a Chevy and moved the amount of stuff I have with my Silverado.......

Then every other truck is just going to pale in comparison....if it can move a rock....go over rocks...then it must be as the commercial states...Like a Rock.

FORD TOUGH? THE FULL SIZE LINE OF FORD PICK-UP'S AND SUV'S MAY HAVE SOME CHASSIS RELATED PROBLEMS. TOUGH THEY SAY. YES IT'S TOUGH ON THE CUSTOMER WHEN THEY NEED TO REPLACE THE FACTORY BALL JOINTS AT 30.000. FRONT END SHOPS APPRECIATE THE BUISNESS BUT WORN CHASSIS PARTS AT 30.000 MILES. BROKEN FRONT SWAY BAR LINKS AT 10.000. I HOPE FORD HAS TAKEN NOTICE AND THE NEW LINE OF TRUCKS ARE IN FACT(BUILT FORD TOUGH}. http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/devil.gif

http://www.checkmate-boats.com/6/ws/,s,8626072361/Graemlins/thumb.gifI don't like to put down other people's trucks, but my Chevy HD will out ride any Ford that I've ever been in. (even with the 3/4 ton frame) Plus the 6 liter will pull anything from my Checkmate 253 to the 31 ft camper we have. Just my humble opinion.....
