Default Ford Falling Behind?

I dont know about yall, but I think Ford is falling behind in the advertisement category. Commercials should be able to make you remember what they're advertising.
I can remember the Chevy commercial with "Nick" and the guy who hunts Fish. And the Toyota commercial where the Tundra is climbing up the steep grate with the flames pouring out.
I love Mike Rowe, but I think Ford can be doing a better job of advertising.

Ford's products are obviously great, but they need a good commercial that stands in the crowd.
What do y'all think? Any commercial ideas?

Well they had that one commercial where the guy says he bought a Ford because he didn't approve of the bailout for Chrysler and GM, HOWEVER, they had to pull the ad due to pressure from Washington.

The bow-tie boys really hit a home run with Nick the salesman, but overall, GM advertising have been terrible. Can't say I care for any of the others. Maybe I am biased.

all i have to do is take a look around as i drive and i mostly see Fords. today alone i counted 25 09+ F150. i think Ford is fine and that the people driving them around are the best advertisements.

Down here I notice more ford trucks then any other brand
More GM suv's (manufactured in arlington) then any other also, and tundras (manufactured elsewhere in the state) seem to be getting more popular.

I see what y'all are saying, but ford needs a commercial that competes with the other trucks commercials.

I know a truck is a truck and a commercial is a commercial, but of theres a guy looking for a good truck with a good engine for a good price, Ford should make a catchy advertisement that people will remember. Maybe a sweet Super Bowl commercial...
