Trolled By Ford

[Ranger850]

It actually probably didn't cost a whole lot to make that little video.

And it got people talking... for what that is worth.

it shows me where their priorities are, they would rather be cute and funny and not deliver a commercial for a real product. Good Marketing? Sure, but we are more "snickering" and "scoffing", more than "talking". The commercial might not have cost a lot to make, but it was definitely a waste of promotions everywhere else. They could have done without all of the extra stuff and just said " Hey, thanks to Ford, there is now a truck emoji" and been done.

I will honestly admit that I will use this emoji. And probably quite often.

On my phone it looks like you are rollin’ coal with a short exhaust stack...

a year and a half ago I was fogging for mosquitoes when my head gasket went between cyls 3&4 and I was pushing a qt of oil into the exhaust every 4 miles. A 2.3 doesnt run well on 2 cyls, even with 4.10s, could only manage 40 mph.

its the bridge in the background, I took a couple screenshots during the video, It shows up more in the picture with “ford” across the truck

As a gesture of good will from 2.9 owners, I will be making personalized truck emoji icons for those on "The List"

If I had the ability to customize it, Id make it look more like mine, reg cab, silver /blue two tone with the tapered top stripe on front fender and the white cap.
