Ford Ranger 2007 spot out early?
Check out this part dumb, part funny, part cheesy ad from Ford. It is possibly a Super Bowl ad that just found its way to YouTube early, or it could just be a totally non-special ad too I guess. Either way it is a bit creative, despite its inflated ego, and is better than most of the "driving down the road to recycled music" car commercials I usually see all the time. Some wingnut from left field will probably complain about it looking too much like a hurricane (i.e. Katrina) and they will have to pull the ad anyway because everyone is upset. Check it out before somebody gets all antsy about it.

(Page 1)2. Looks more like a European ad due to the Right Hand drive on the vehicle. Look close and you will note that.

3. This is an old advertisement (Feb. 2006) for Thailand Ford Ranger. Ad ran in Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia. I happened to witness the actual filming which was done on a Thailand Military base, the helicopter and pilot are Thai Military. The truck really did climb out of the water and up the hill. Spot refers to Tsunami and Ford`s rescue efforts. Ford donated 100 trucks to save people and equipment stranded after the Tsunami and the rebuilding effort. Ad is done without language so it can be run in all these countries without translation. Final English tagline is simple enough to be understood and is the tagline Ford is using throughout Asia.

1. May not be a Superbowl ad, it could be an ad for the season premier of 24. Remember the Ford ad from a couple of years back during the season premier of 24? This one has the same sense of humor.
