How Ford s 2016 Battle Tested On Buying The Ford F 150...

The Purpose of this paper is to analyze how Ford’s 2016 â€Å"Battle Tested† Superbowl commercial uses elements of the rhetorical triangle to persuade audiences into buying the Ford F-150 half-ton truck. Ford using military grade aluminum alloy for the body of the F-150 and using high strength steel for the frame revolutionized the half-ton truck category. The transition between steel and military grade aluminum alloy is a crucial change in the automobile industry. The advertisement provides an impressive example of logos by telling the audience the F-150 has a five star safety rating by the United States government. Pathos, an appeal to emotion, is used by the unnamed narrator to persuade the audience on the toughness while still being the safest half-ton truck in the automotive industry.
