SRT 10 commercial during Daytona 500

Did anyone else see the Dodge SRT 10 commercial Sunday during the Daytona 500? Ryan Newman driving and literally "blowing" the doors off an F150 s/crew....and at the end the famous saying "worlds fastest production truck"!! I can't believe no one has commented about it on here! I'm wondering if I'm the only one that saw it....they only played it one time....after the Ford GT commercial. Anyway, JR won, of course, with his "Nascar approved" shot of nitrous at the end!!

I think it's interesting that Dodge has to use the speed thing to sell this truck. I guess it's the only way they are going to get someone to shell out the $90 K for sticker plus big dealer mark-up. Can't say I've ever seen Ford do the same, I've always thought the Lightning just spoke for itself.

Ford has the worlds Fastest Production Truck

Dodge has the worlds Fastest Production Ruck. Dodge don’t get the T since their Ruck can’t tow a GD thing….

Where did you here that the SRT 10 had a 90k sticker on it? They are around 45k. Anyway, they suck.

I look at it this way. Dodge did a nice job showing off the great, new interior of the 04 F150, along with it's ability to easily seat an entire family. If anything, they helped Ford sell more trucks.

I find it funny that you guy's are even talking about this. In 3 years when the GEN III comes out and ford produces a similar commercial you will think its the best thing in the world and will be proud of it being the fastest truck. Untill then Dodge own's the title and is proudly showing it off. Get over it already....

The gen III will be an expensive truck but more worth the money in my opinion. I have already seen a L with a few mods and probably not nearly the hp smoke an SRT 10. No truck with 500 hp should even be close to a truck with 380 stock.
