The Ford Ranger Add
« on: February 23, 2017, 08:07:09 PM »
Before I get carried away I believe the Ranger is a good vehicle, not as good as the D.Max of course  :D ;D. But what is with  this add about G forces with weights hanging off the front and rear of the vehicle? It is a little hard to see where the weight is attached to the front of the Ranger. If you want to know how strong the Ranger is why do they not just  stop it from turning and see what happens. Nothing and I can be corrected would ripped to bits. 4.7 G science  of truck, sounds a bit like "spirit of truck"  and I am pretty sure that mob would not come up with that scenario.
Ok the pants gave been pulled down ready for a flogging  :D ;D

Some creative ad exec thought it was a good idea, maybe he should have studied science instead of art.

I wouldn't believe those supposed weights are actually something heavy either.
Look at the size of the chain, Hammerlocks and how they are secured to the spinning vehicle.
They could do that Advert with 10Kg. weights.

10 kg weight times 4 . g's is only 47 kg. The ad makes no sense.  4 .7g's means nothing unless you know what the weight is.

Who is that girl in the Ford ad? Big issue these days. I would love to share a truck with her.

Never paid attention to it before. Just assumed the weights were attwached to the tow bar and the front chassis to demonstrate the strength of the chassis.

But attached to frame the car is sitting means zero.
