Are These The 10 Best Ford Commercials of All Time?

November 16th, 2018 by

Earlier this October, to the surprise of many, Ford announced that a new creative agency would be leading the charge, injecting some much-needed inspiration into future Ford commercials and advertising campaigns. Before the game-changing announcement, the new agency, BBDO, was deemed internally as an underdog, a long shot, the David to then-current agency WPP’s Goliath. The rest, as they say, is history.

While this news may not mean much to us as a San Antonio Ford dealer, it did push us deep down the YouTube rabbit hole—far deeper and for far longer than we’d like to acknowledge, mind you. But the adventure made us realize something: Ford has made some pretty awesome car commercials over the years. To those killer advertisements and the creative minds who made them, we salute you. Here’s our list of the 10 best Ford commercials ever made, in no particular order.

Don’t Drive Distracted

Ford takes your safety seriously. The newest Ford vehicles and driver-assist technologies are proof. There’s Adaptive Cruise Control, which keeps your vehicle at a set distance behind traffic. There’s Evasive Steering Assist, which provides additional steering support if a collision is imminent. There’s the Blind Spot Information System, Cross-Traffic Alert, Pre-Collision Assist, Automatic Emergency Braking…and the list of tech goes on, including the upcoming Ford Co-Pilot360.

Man’s Best Friend(s)
Who said you need to limit your “best friend” group to just one? With the Ford Mustang, you’ll have two amazing buddies to get you through thick and thin. Just be sure to protect those seats with an authentic Ford accessory before taking a road trip.

A Ford Commercial For Ford Commercial Vehicles
Sometimes life gives you lemons, and when it does, you don’t make lemonade—you let a Ford commercial vehicle get to work. Ford cargo vans like the 2019 Transit are great for electricians, insurance adjusters, and plumbers. Models like the Ford Super Duty truck are essential for DIYers and home renovators. And a larger Ford Chassis Cab turn any project into a finished project.

Ford Windstar Meets Big Bird

In the mid-90s, the Ford Windstar was one of the best-selling vans in America. As this Ford video advertises, it included over 40 advanced safety features, had the highest crash-test ratings, and looked good beside the king of Sesame Street, Big Bird. Ford has since done away with their Windstar—in fact, they’ve quit building family minivans entirely—but the newest 2018 and 2019 SUVs are just as good.

Ford Focus Door Protectors

We don’t remember watching this European Ford Focus commercial when it came out in 2012, but we’re glad to have seen it now. If only the US Focus included this nifty feature….

Get Un-Stuck With Ford

“No one likes being stuck. That’s why Ford is developing new ways to help you move through life, faster, easier, better. Today and tomorrow, we’re going further—and soon you can.” A message that’s simple and to the point.

Siri Eyes Free: The Ultimate Couples Counselor

Ford’s SYNC 3 includes Siri Eyes Free tech. You never know when voice-enabled navigation and text message read-outs will save your marriage.

Ford’s Got Heart…And Hart

Before comedian Kevin Hart became a bona fide household name, he was a Ford ambassador. This 2011 Ford Explorer commercial put him on the fast track to fame. (At least, let’s just say Ford was responsible.)

Good Grief!

Let’s take a trip down memory lane with this 1960 Ford commercial. Do you remember the Ford Economy Twins? First was the Falcon, a compact car with 24 cubic feet of luggage space. Its sibling, the Fairlane 500 was the value leader of large sedans—which was $142 less than the 1959 model, just for your information. Life was much easier then, wasn’t it?

Ford: Breaking Good

You’ve all seen the viral Ford commercial starring Walter White, aka. Bryan Cranston. Why not watch it again? Just know that while you do, the Ford engineers will be hard at work building the future, piston by piston, gear by gear. You’re welcome.
