THE SPOTs
In three :30s, trucks in the Ford F Series are equated with films and a TV show. In "You’ve Got Mail," after a brief description of the romantic comedy of the same name, the voiceover points out that the driver of an F Series pick-up truck would never see the film. In "Fight Club," for the Ford Ranger Edge, skateboarders struts their stuff in a junkyard, while the voiceover describes the film, in which the characters regularly beat each other up for sport. "A-Team," which spotlights the Ford Super Crew, shows men assembling sandbags in the middle of a flood, hoping their scheme will work à la characters in the popular 1980s TV show.
Spots broke in November.
