Like other stories we’ve told this year—Bronco Search & Rescue and American Value for American Values—this campaign highlights an authentic narrative of how Ford empowers human capability. It’s about the trust and reliability Ford represents in life’s most pivotal moments—a powerful testament to the capability of our vehicles and the incredible work of first responders. Telling real stories connect on a deeply human level. I am proud of how this campaign represents what Ford has been doing in American communities for over a century.
