With an irony appreciated only by folks on this forum, my across-the-street neighbor’s house has for the past two days been the scene for a national commercial being shot by Ford, for the Lightning.

With maybe a dozen retail units in Austin, TX, what are they chances the filming would be across the street from a Lightning owner?

Anyway, over two days of filming something stood out: they were filming different scenes of the truck hitched to tow several different items, however all of which were small and “domestic” in nature - e.g., a tow-behind BBQ trailer, and an ~8” trailer with a riding lawnmower along with some potted bushes for planting. :unsure: The theme seemed very “a truck good for doing domestic tasks.”

Finally, I thought it a little funny that the talent trailers were being juiced by these generators

Does the charger on the garage work? Maybe your neighbor will let you use it!
not a chance it works!

funny thing is, that neighbor has so many vehicle toys - motorcycles, Ferrari, F250, GT3, on and on - to shoot the commercial, the production company had to uninstall his two lifts.

Not an electric vehicle among them.

Interesting...any idea how your neighbor got this deal? And surely they had to notice the Lightning across the street? Did they say anything to you?

he and I both have our houses listed with a location scout company in town. gigs like this pay a lot, but it’s a colossal pain in the ass.

(his place is a lot nicer than mine so he gets more gigs:ROFLMAO:)

I don’t think the folks making the commercials care at all - they’re just production company hired guns.

Only acknowledgement I got was the local hire detailing fella getting paid to sit on set and keep the truck spotless.

Sounds more like small business owner to me. Think landscapers and food truck vendors.

While I’m sure they’re aspiring to appeal to the widest audience as possible, it was perhaps the >$100,000 truck and location/casting choices that gave me the not “Everyman” vibes…

The fun part is, we can wait 6-12 months to maybe find the commercial and find out!

At that pitch I am surprised! Must be a really piss poor install, very thin gauge.

But then I never tow anything...

sw engineering manager,
Bet the Ford Pro charger on the outside wall is just hung there as a prop. The generator is probably how they recharged the truck if needed (which is kind of ironic).
