Glad I Have My Bronco, But….

[HeliPilot]

I’m sitting here watching football and I see the Ford commercial…

“100 Percent Assembled in America, Because We Are All In For America.”

It also states that first responders don’t just give 90%, and the folks that build our roads don’t just give 80%…or something to that affect.

This is simply word salad from Ford to try to inspire some deep sense of Patriotism, and is boarder-line false advertisement. 100% Assembled in America, but most of the parts are made overseas. And how ironic that they state American workers don’t just give 80%, while Ford employees are currently picketing to work 80% of what they do now, for 100% of their pay and more.

I’m not really feeling the “All in for America” Ford.

not the first time ford has done something like this. More accurate commercial would have been "100% assembled in America from 100% foreign parts because 100% everything American would affect the hire ups bonuses"

I remember my first time seeing a commerical from an American Truck company...

 

[Mkass]

Name one car company that the parts are 100 percent supplied by USA suppliers??

Bronco sport, 100% assembled in Mexico, still tough enough to cross the border alone and unafraid.

Jeez man, the crap guys on here tend to cling to gets more interesting, yet more boring by the day.

Most already complain about the cost of the Bronco and the price increases as if in 2023 this would be a $20K truck.

If every part within a Bronco were American made, it would cost maybe $40K more.

Then there’s the shots I see taken at the plant workers from who are likely mostly corporate clones who make over 6 figures, but claim it’s due to all of their “hard work” . Don’t know a thing about working in a plant, yet no hesitation in voicing an opinion; it’s just wild.

So, which is it? You want 100% American with the costs associated or you want cheap cars and trucks? (By 2023 standards)

Can’t have it all folks. I’ll take my MAP assembled FORD made with UAW labor any day of the week. For everyone else who just can’t get over themselves, don’t let the door clip them heels brother…… and have a nice day.

Wait, you mean companies/advertisers stretch the truth and try to appeal to consumers on an emotional level in order to sell their products?

Best Commercial ever made, bar none.

That’s as American made as apple pie!

Talk about word salad…

Maybe I should run a patriotic American video for the IKEA bed in my spare room. After all, it was 100% Assembled in America. So IKEA must be “All In for America,”

And I did not bag on the plant workers. Unless I misunderstood the UAW demand for a 32 hour work week with a 40% raise, that math works out to a new work week that is 80% of the 40 hour work week norm for American workers. The new 80% work week is in direct conflict with all the information supplied by Ford in their new add campaign.

I won’t be getting rid of my Bronco. So the door will not be clipping my heels. I am not a die hard, must have only made in America products. I’m simply less than satisfied by the attempt to appeal to my patriotism.

Look, this isn’t a fruitful debate and I’m not being paid to educate you on the concept of a global economy, which is a system that was created solely by the United States for our corporate interests.

Ford and all other mercs are at record profit (citing my stock values and basically any investment data), yet you somehow find blame in plant workers.

I’m not one to question the work ethic of blue collar women and men with my fancy white collar job, but based on the level of record productivity that this country has enjoyed since WWII, I’ll assume they work hard as hell.

Plant workers deserve higher pay, period; perhaps more than the rest of us, yet they didn’t get it and we all did, so they’re just having a moment.

Thinking that you have a “gotcha” moment with the work week sound bite when neither of us truly understand it in the context of their jobs, yet voicing an opinion on it is just condescending, or do you think these people are beneath you? Do they or anyone else get to publicly voice displeasure with your work conditions or pay? Do any of us care? No, we all just hope that you’re paid well to better afford your overpriced Bronco, overpriced gas, and all of the other overpriced gear you want because we don’t have an understanding of your situation or history and that’s ok.

And neither you, nor most on this forum understand the situation with these plant workers who are just trying to take home more of the money they make for the rich and cynical stockholders like myself and many others.

Leave the plant workers be, man. Aim your comments at the execs who just want a bigger boat.

My Bronco is probably a keeper as well but loving our just delivered second BMW X4 proudly assembled in Spartanburg, SC by a crew of happy as class non-union workers. Production goes on

My 1970 Mustang Mach 1 has a 351 Windsor….Canadian built motor. Car assembled in the USA. Just pointing out reality. Enjoy your Bronco.
