Sporko Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Ahh, who cares. I heard Ford also dropped the Shriners mini pedal cars. :rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonas1022 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Not a good sign. I wonder if the numbers through the turnstiles have been dropping at the crusher truck events. Some cable sports channels have dumped the coverage as well...? Anyone know/remember who covered these folks? I don't watch often enough to know or remember. I did follow the early BigFoot trucks, but that was a lifetime ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did follow the early BigFoot trucks, but that was a lifetime ago! The last time I went to a monster truck show it was packed! So I dont think thats it. I just think ford might be it worst shape than we think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just think ford might be it worst shape than we think. I doubt that that is the problem. We basically know Fords exact position based on their financials. I doubt that ford gets many sales because a monster truck has a Ford badge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinb120 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Well they threw more money into Nascar last year then Chry/Ford/Chevy combined. I had no idea they still had a Bigfoot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blueblood Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 That would really suck if Bigfoot went to Toyota.. :heartbreaker: And they sell out huge arena's wherever they go, lots of free advertising for Ford, it's shown all the time on Speed channel..

I for one dont dought that thats the problem.......Ford is having to cut where ever they can and this is just one place to start. I for one hope bigfoot stayes with ford even though ford $hit on them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may have something to do with Farley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markfnc Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) Monster Jam has really taken over the Monster truck shows, and Big Foot did not go with that group. More of a solo thing. Monster Jam which has all the hot wheels toys is sposnered by Ford. Probably a more bang for the buck. I have a 6 year old so we watch on tv (speed channell) all the time. Plus we have been twice in perosn. A really cool father son event, as mom has no interest. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monster_Jam Edited December 31, 2007 by markfnc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roadrunner Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 Ford still is strongly connected with Blue Thunder, the official Ford monster truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This may have something to do with Farley. I agree with that. Gas guzzling behemoths are perhaps not what Ford wants to associate itself with. Although there are many fans who enjoy monster truck rallies, there are many more customers needed who prefer "green" thinking. Maybe Ford will re-sponsor them in the future when they can afford to be a little more cavalier about their associations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joihan777 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 All the pics on the Links are Ford trucks, I did not see one Toyota! Toyota was not mentioned even once, only "other opportunities." I can see them going to Chevy/GMC or Dodge before going to Toyota. Hey at least they didn't use a Honda Ridgeline! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinb120 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 (edited) Well in 7 years, I've never had a customer come in to this dealer to purchase a FoMoCo product because they saw Bigfoot and raced down here to look at an Edge.

falconman13 Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 When is the last time you Bigfoot? I see Gravedigger stuff all over the place. Bigfoot was always a poseur anyway. I grew up near Midwest and there were a lot of M-Trucks around back then and even then, it was well known Chandlers trucks were all show. IMO it would be totally appropriate for Chandler to switch to Toyota. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharpen your reading skills: 22 December 2007 - It is with great disappointed that we announce an ending to a long and successful relationship with Ford Motor Company. BIGFOOT has been with Ford for 23 great years. We have been a BIG part of keeping the Ford F-series truck the #1 selling trucks in America and Ford has helped make BIGFOOT the best know and loved Monster Truck in the world. As much as this saddens us we are also excited about our future opportunities. Lowlights: - End of our 23-year relationship with Ford Motor Company.

I doubt that BIGFOOT has been that big a part of keeping the F-Series #1. I don't doubt that Ford was a very big part of BIGFOOT's success. I don't think too many Monster Truck Fans will think much of a Toyota BIGFOOT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that it's not Free Advertising. I am sure the sponsorship was a big bucks proposition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, because they officially sponsor the Blue Thunder truck and Ford is the most visible sponsor for the Monster Jam series. This was just about Bigfoot. Besides, monster trucks are a positive because kids are in awe of them. Kids get attached to a truck, and then it fosters strong images. Be thankful Grave Digger and Max D are not recognizable modern-day trucks or people might get swayed toward Chevy or... Dodge I guess.
