I think the advertisements need to be updated now but I think Ford knows that they don't have to advertise very hard to us "truck guys and gals" - I think their commercials are geared towards the mainstream consumer more that may be thinking about a truck as PT.

It's a shame that more people don't take the time to actually study the 'bail outs'.

I agree the ad was in bad taste, given that Mulally supported the bailout and even if they weren't part of the actual AIFP they did receive some form of government assistance. Saying they didn't receive bailout money is true, it just isn't the whole truth.

Thanks, Flash. I'd heard that before but no one had linked back to any source other than typical anti-Obma screeds.
