i believe the point was that they originally had a smaller SUV from GMC's lineup and based on initial reactions swapped it with their biggest. the ad has the truck and the SUV based on that same truck frame so they're approximately the same size, the truck of course has a bigger lift because... well who even knows anymore.

I don't watch TV anymore so I don't watch ads anymore, and it's great.

the dudes who get mad at women in a car commercial having a bigger truck than them are the same ones who open carry a loaded and cocked 1911 while shopping in their all-white suburbs

the biggest issue I have with being a truck owner is the constant mild embarrassment I feel from being even tangentially connected to mainstream truck culture poo poo is toxic

i used to drive a 1994 Toyota 2 seater short bed pickup and it was the platonic ideal of a truck. i would love to have another one and I haven't owned a car in like 16 years now. it was just the best

that sentiment of those comments was so real and powerful and IRL that what graph was talking about did actually happen, i remember calling it out the first time in chat GMC released a re-cut version of the ad where in the end the dude ended up with a bigger truck the guy saying it was bad for the brand to have the chick get the better truck was 100% correct, it was awful for the brand and the campaign tanked. They had to save it by giving the guy the bigger truck in the end.

It's not like you can store a lot on a truck bed, better off renting a van so you can actually transport some furniture.

qirex posted:gmc is literally chevy with extra tough looking fenders and “pro grade” marketing, fragile masculinity is the whole reason it exists I am almost certain that GMC still exists entirely because they have all the fleet vehicle contracts. I can't remember the last time I've seen one being driven by a private owner. It is interesting to see the difference in the vehicles that are meant to do actual work vs the luxury cars putting on laborer cosplay. EDIT: post hole digger posted:buicktruck Sedans have gone the way of the dodo. It's all crossovers now. Even smaller sedans are generally going to have a crossover form-factor. (Kind of like how all these small trucks that are coming out are still doing crew cabs, and you literally can't buy a two-seater pickup truck unless you but a commercial vehicle.)

the nissan rogue has a bad reputation because it is, or was for some time, the cheapest SUV you could buy (vs. an objectively better sedan or hatchback), and it attracted a certain type of person as a result. on a related note, you know these bumper stickers that people stick on their priuses as a self-aware joke?  well today i saw that same sticker on a bmw i3. extremely high level bmw douchebag energy lol

post hole digger posted:good lord. I also looked at the comments this morning, I didn't screenshot it but one was effectively "he should have run her over with the truck and told her 'oh you love it now you're a part of it'". Extremely normal. So was the one linked the reshoot? Did they photoshop the red SUV so its bigger or something?

I bought a used impala recently, and got a great price. The dealership was like, we just want these out so that we can put more trucks on the lot, the margins are incredible on the trucks.
