bdegrand Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 (edited) http://www.chevrolet.com/films Tab down to the 4th ad against the F150 asking a little boy what truck he should choose. Wow, Chevy is really stooping low in desperation asking little school children. Edited February 2, 2018 by bdegrand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmc523 Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Yeah, so let's spout a bunch of "facts" about our truck to little kids, and not say a thing about the F-150. Obviously the kids won't know any better and pick the one you hype up. Not to mention they put a nice looking Silverado, and pick one of the more boring combos of F-150, obviously Silverado looks "cool". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chevy worked hard on the angle to make the Ford look surprisingly smaller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I dont even pay attention to their joke of ads. Thats just their inferiority complex showing through. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pioneer Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I think GM should be more concerned with RAM than Ford. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coupe3w Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 I think the Ford F150 truck ads are lame too. They could do much better in their advertising, but they won't because sales are up. "Ford F150 not raising the bar they are the bar"....or something like that is lame IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 F-series ads are the one thing Ford does right/well. Best vehicle ads on TV for several years. Bar none (see what I did there?) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKX1960 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I saw one last night where they say the Chevy is the longest lasting truck. That means the Ford F-150 isn't, right? I think when you need to mention the name of the competition, you take away from the product you want to promote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akirby Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 They’ve been saying that for decades - based on registrations or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordmantpw Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 I saw one last night where they say the Chevy is the longest lasting truck. That's because those who use trucks for real work don't buy GMs. I think when you need to mention the name of the competition, you take away from the product you want to promote. Agreed!

jpd80 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Bagging the competition doesn't work, how many times does GM need to learn that lesson, you never, never mention the competition in your own advertisement. and only GM was dumb enough to offer comparison test drives between its cars and competitor, Toyota That didn't end well for GM..... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan1 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 The guy who presents these commercials is Potsch Boyd, a 2 bit actor pretending to work for GM, who knows nothing about about trucks. 5' 11" and 140 lbs? Gain some weight, stick boy! http://resumes.breakdownexpress.com/346253-2242828 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan1 Posted February 3, 2018 Share Posted February 3, 2018 Chevys are longest lasting when they are up on blocks on their owner's front lawns still registered or used as a flower garden. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Extreme4x4 Posted March 1, 2018 Share Posted March 1, 2018 The funny thing about "longest lasting" ads. If you have ever seen the actual statistics, the difference between GM and Ford is about 2 months. In other words, it is a statistical anomaly. Add to that, that Ford trucks are used as work trucks more than GM's, and the fact that it is that close is very surprising. I HATE those stupid and condescending "real actors not people" ads. They are all stupid beyond belief. The one where they are on the freeway and that one stupid woman says "I just want to get from point A to point B," and I want to smack her in the head. ALL cars / trucks these days are incredibly reliable in "point A to point B." The vast majority of any issues with them are electronic, or not understanding how something works. Real failures are rare. Of course, being stupid and knowing nothing about what you are talking about seems to be in vogue these days. Just watch the news. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANTAUS Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 As mentioned earlier, GM needs to look or attack RAM which is coming real close to them. Just about every person I know with bad credit is ending up in a Ram by default, so they are selling pretty well. Last few years, while GM has been losing sales, RAM has been gaining them. Ford has been sitting pretty the whole time. So again, RAM is their problem. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GM is like the spoiled kid at school. Tries to get all the attention and throws mud at anyone who outshines them. Also, RAM is a competitor for Ford, so Im hoping they are looking too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folks are going to wait for the new one since they haven't had a completely new look in years. EDIT: The F-Series outsells Silverado, Sierra, Canyon, and Colorado combined. Wow!
