I was cheering them on the whole time too!

Dont have a pic, but last night I watch Gold Rush and they had a Ford Super Duty pulling a 120klb semi up a hill it couldnt get traction on.. Was pretty cool to see.

Nothing like having a commercial embedded incognito into a tv show. How much does anyone want to bet that Ford paid promotional considerations for that stunt. I saw Ford do the same thing on ice road truckers. I wish these shows wouldn't take us for idiots. No sour grapes or brand bashing here, I drive an F-350.

Well, they didnt mention the truck and I had to pause the DVR to actually see it was a Superduty. They have Chevy's and Toyotas on the show too..

Anyone noticed when suddenly they all had 'new' polaris UTV's? They still mention them by name, it's the only type of equipment they call by the brand name and when they first showed up they had a bunch of shots. You could tell they were added there for product placement because they were the only clean pieces of equipment.

You got me on the "Ice Road Truckers"...good one.

I was going to add that Polaris did the same thing as Ford (incognito embedded commercial). It is very subtle but it is carefully scripted to make it appear part of the show.

All companies pay big money to have products placed in shows. Look at Subway, Coke, ect.

My father-in-law took these pictures a few weeks ago... and yes, that is a road grader being tower by a 1/2 ton Chevy. The bottom of the bed was touching the cab. He was driving very slow but making progress when these pics were captured.
