GM is breaking out the big guns for this year’s Super Bowl, with an ad directly aimed at the Ford F-150.  The ad claims that the Chevrolet Silverado is the “… most dependable and longest lasting full size truck on the road…” and that if you drive an F-150, you won’t survive for the post-apocalyptic world.  This brought to mind another video I’ve seen on YouTube, wherein a Ford F-150 drives away after being involved in a dealership fire.  Click past the jump for Chevrolet’s ad and the F-150 video I found.
