THE SPOTS
Four :30s spotlight the Ford Super Duty truck. In the teaser ad "The Beast," a black truck stands ominously on top of a craggy mountaintop, silhouetted by a cloudy sky. The other spots—"Emergency Stop," "Frame Rails" and "Concrete Block"—focus on the vehicle’s hauling, towing and pulling capacities, first by showing engineers testing the systems, and later featuring the Super Duty performing the task.
Spots broke in September.
