I don’t know what’s going on with Ford and Chevy making trucks for people who don’t drive (or shouldn’t be driving) trucks. I don’t mean to stir the pot or fan the flames between Ford and Chevrolet loyalists so I’ll say new commercials from both brands are equally idiotic. Chevy has an ad featuring a Silverado with hands-free driving. OK, fine. But then they have chutzpah to add a line about towing hands-free!? Are you kidding me? Anyone who wants to tow a boat, trailer, camper, without their hands on the steering wheel needs top be cancelled right this second. Watch that absurd had here.
Not to be outdone, of course, Ford now has a commercial for their electric Lightning F-150. Beyond short trips for in-town towing, I have no idea what use the EV truck is for long drives and especially long towing but Ford went a different direction than Chevy.
“I want a pick-up truck that goes 0 to 60 in under 4 seconds,” said no one ever. Who are these executives polling to come up with such ludicrous vehicle features? In other words: people who want to go 60 in under 4 seconds aren’t buying a truck (especially an EV truck) and people who want a truck don’t care that it hits 60 in the same amount of time it takes to let a nice burp out.
In fact, I’m more impressed with a burp that lasts longer than 4 seconds than a truck that gets to 60 in under 4.
