I know most you on here don't watch much TV, and neither do I, but the new Ram commercials have been hard to miss.

Many did not like the "My name is Ram" from last fall, but what about his one?




(Also check out the new Jeep Cherokee commercial, probably from the same agency, at www.jeep.com )

Are they doing any better?

I liked the ad. But I must say Dodge, GM and F*rd commercials all have the same styling & editing these days.

Chevy has had that style of ad's for as long as I can remember, always bouncing through a rough worksite to show how tough it is. Or dropping stuff in the bed from some height.

Full of crap like most commercials. Aimed at the male ego to make you want that macho truck With the wimpy front end parts etc etc. Works for me.

True. I was also thinking of the colors/tint/hue/sharpness and all those other little editing tools that I have no idea how to use



I think the best truck commercial wasn't even a commercial at all. It was an episode of King of the Hill and Hank's truck dies and he has to go truck shopping and he doesn't want to because he loved his old truck. As the story goes he ends up needing to test drive a truck in order to go find Bobby who runs off in the rain. Hank has to put the tuck through its paces while tailing Bobby and is impressed that everything he needs is all right there as he is looking for it. Long story short he ends up liking the truck when he finally finds Bobby and they return to the dealership to negotiate the sale.

I liked it. Maybe it's Sam Elliotts rugged persona as a tough cowboy, biker & all around kick A movie star that seems to fit what they are trying to portray.

Pretty much. Like the story line, not so keen on the product


The back story was funny though - Hank cried at a chick flick.
