My favorite I cant find a video, but it was the commercial that featured a clip from the movie Mr. Majestyk showing a 1968 Ford Pickup beat to ****.

Not actually a direct Ford commercial, per say, but I like the Toby Keith video of "I love this bar" where he takes the average-looking lady to the drive-in movie.
Pretty sure I've had dates that made faces similar to the one she showed.

I like these mid 90's commercials when the 1997 models debuted.

I vote for 4, I love those old paint jobs. The rest are macho pandering you see in modern truck commercials. I was always told a man worked hard, cared for his family, and kept his word, but apparently there is a shortcut - just buy the right model truck.

Quoting #2 - "Any way you slice it though, you'd have to be a lesser man to watch this commercial and want a Dodge or Chevy." I think a lesser man would run out to buy a truck because a commercial made him feel like a wimp. Just my .02, I realize this all just for fun but the commercials I see on NFL Sunday (from all the manufacturers) really irk me.

The one at the boat ramp is the all time best, though I think they must have had to pull it due to GM having a trademark on "Like a Rock" or something. Looks like it aired in 2002, though I thought is was earlier than that.

The scene was at a boat ramp where this guy in a Ford is pulling his boat out of the water. Then this guy's Chevy truck rolls back and sinks with the boat attached. The ford guy then pulls both the Chevy truck and the boat out and the wife of the Chevy driver says, "Wow, that sank fast", and the Ford driver replies, "Yeah, like a rock."

I wish I could find it somewhere!

There was 1 in the late 70's(?) where they dropped one from under a helicopter I think, then drove off in it. My grandad was working at a Ford dealer at the time, and he said they dropped several trucks on their noses before they figured out the right balance point to get it to drop straight.

I was hoping somebody here was able to find and post a link to that commercial. I haven't seen it since it was on TV and I can't find it. I only saw it a few times before it was pulled, but I remember it well. Even my Chevy loving mother got a chuckle out of that one.

This is not about Ford's truck line, but I think it's still a great (if controversial) video advertisement.

Ford's Evil Twin

But, THIS one has the coolest Ford Show Truck:

Toby and F-350 Tonka Truck

It may be stupid, but I have always liked this one where they are swinging the F-150 around a centrifuge by its tow hooks. Not sure why I like that one so much, but it is a pretty cool commercial.
