1. I hate 'real people, not actors' commercials

2. Anyone with a truck gets a spray in bed liner nowadays

3. Neither truck had truck nuts, so they both suck

i dont listen to commercials, but i know i miss my old truck. had to get a sedan because i got a sales job

i love the look of the new Fords IF they have the proper tires and package. i hate the look of the stock tires. way too top heavy

those Sierras and Silvarados look clean too. would all depend on price and feel when i drive them and space.

Who the frick is Flat Bill fooling? He can't afford either one.

And did they put there hard hats and safety glasses on when they were circle jerking?

And here's something novel - don't drop a bucket full of concrete blocks from 3 feet above the bed.

Chevy has already said that they'd be using aluminum for the next gen trucks.
They're just using the fact that they're so far behind in R&D that their stuff is "superior"

It's kind of funny in a sad way.

Aluminum will be easier to dent but if you don't have a spray in bed liner steel can rust out if the scratches are deep enough

Yea that was dumb.. Not a probable real life scenario. But I couldn't believe that the empty toolbox dented a fricking hole into the bed of the Ford. That's ridiculous and pretty eye opening..

They haven't said the entire truck will be aluminum.

I wouldn't believe everything you see in a car advertisement. It's kind of like how they have that other commercial with that same douchebag where they talk about all the features the Silverado has, and they show an LTZ Z71 Silverado next to an F150 XL.

Plastic is cheap and so is aluminum. These vehicle manufacturers keep putting cheaper parts on them. Soon a whole truck body will be plastic. I remember when the interior was vinyl and metal. Now its all plastic with vinyl accents. Chrome used to be chrome. Now its a chrome vinyl over bumpers. And the price keeps going up for junk. None of these vehicles are worth the price they ask but we pay them anyway.

Probably Mexico and China, where most vehicle parts are made today.
