2007 Tacoma Commercial “Mud People” Still Funny, Still Dirty

So here’s an official Toyota Tacoma commercial circa 2007:

It’s got everything you need in a truck commercial targeting younger buyers:

  • Stupidity in the form of diving into mud puddles
  • Silliness in the form of dancing a jig, wearing goggles while ‘rafting’ through mud
  • RecklessnessĀ in the form of jumping a new crew cab Tacoma off a small hill
  • A ‘viral feel’ in terms of the production…sort of feels like it was amateur video shot over the course of a wild weekend. Of course, it wasn’t – it was a professional shoot.

What do you think – good marketing? Does it make you want to buy a Tacoma?

    That one is funny, But its a real good marketing technique. Because these day all the younger aged teen who got trucks wants to try it out with their truck , So toyota knew that with this kind of marketing they would make some good sales amd profit.
