How realistic!...NOT!

Entertaining,though. The longest lasting trucks on the road are the old GMs not shown in the ad. I think Chevy could have showed more class by leaving at "He wasn't driving one of the longest lasting trucks on the road". I didn't see a 67-72. Maybe this belongs in the new truck message board?

Thats pretty funny! I always wondered if a EMP went off if my old GMC would run with a little work. I guess you can call me lil paranoid..lol

Are you sure about the longest lasting trucks on the road being old school? Just for kicks, my old longhorn came in with 140-150000 miles on the clock(still running, but damn tired)! I just picked up a 10 yr old silverado, with 165,000 on the clock.....she will no doubt "eat" a trans in the next 30-40,000 miles, but that little 4.8 vortec will probably stand 300,000 miles stong

I've never quite figured out how they define "longest lasting"? Are they looking at consecutive years of registration? Volume of units entering the scrap yards? Or number of folks going out and buying new piles of crap to replace their busted up old piles of crap?
Nonetheless, I would agree that modern powertrains are much more reliable then vintage ones, but the chassis and bodywork they are bolted into is rubbish.

**special-K** · 02-05-2012, 08:26 AM

My point is none of the newer stuff has lasted longer than the old stuff that's still on the road. Nothing 10 or less years old has lasted 40 or more years. Only one truck shown in the ad was even close to as old as a 67-72...the trucks this message board is for.

That's a mid-70s square body,the longest lasting truck in the ad.

Nothing last long. Unless you take care of it and do the regular checkups. Alot of people drive like there ain't no tomorrow. I got a 67 chevy c10 longbed with a rebuilt 77 gm sbc 350 and th-350 that too is rebuilt not sure what year the trans is. Hopefully it last good the way I will drive it on highways 65-70mph. Oh and keeping the rear end stock and drums all around.

Ford's not happy. They want the ad pulled.

Yea I saw that. I guess if I was Ford and didnt pull the trigger to get an ad Id be upsaet too. This ad is one of the best Ive seen! Its definatally gonna get attention and wont be quickly forgotten. Sorry Ford, looks like Chevy Marketing got one up on you this time.

50bomb · 02-05-2012, 06:32 PM

haaaaaaaaa!!!

50bomb · 02-05-2012, 06:44 PM

I seriously can not stop laughing about dave not making it cause he drove a ford. Then the guy hands his friend a box of Twinkies and they smile

eightbanger · 02-05-2012, 07:13 PM

I think Ford's main reason for being upset here...although they wouldn't admit it...is that the ad is so good and will be remembered, and that they didn't do itb first.
