Calling all Ford truck owners!
Ford and M80 have launched a new site, BFTRules.com.
BFTRules.com is the new content site where Ford fans can follow the BFT (Built Ford Tough) patrol as they hilariously enforce the driver code of content, busting perpetrators in a variety of cringe-worthy activities.
Apparently if you drive a Ford truck you are expected to abide by a driver code of conduct. Check out the site to read the list: BFTRules.com
Ford BFT also has a MySpace at: http://www.myspace.com/bftrules
oh and since were talking about MySpace, The Torque Report also has one at: http://www.myspace.com/thetorquereport (it's still a work in progress).
Now for the contest:
Ford and M80 are going to give away some great Ford merchandise to a few lucky Ford Truck owners. In order to find those owners out there that truely love their Ford trucks and also abide by the "Built Ford Tough" code of conduct we're going to throw a one-week contest. Send in two of your favorite photos of you and your truck. We'll post them and your fellow readers will help us pick the winners. Make sure you check out the code of conduct because if you are in violation of even one of them you will be disqualified (BFTRules.com).
Send all photos to: unpavedmedia@gmail.com
Make sure you include your name as well and please put "BFT Rules Contest" in the subject line.
All entries must be received by Sunday 4/13/2008
Oh one more thing...unfortunately this contest is only for owners that live in the U.S. Sorry guys if you live outside of the US you can still have some fun watching the videos and voting for your favorite Ford truck owners.
Check back after next Sunday to see all the photos.
Lastly I know that there are obviously lots of strong feelings between Chevy, Dodge and Ford truck owners. Unfortunately this contest is a Ford sponsored contest and not a Chevy or Dodge contest. Please try to keep the "hate" comments to a minimum or I will delete them.
Thanks!

These "Built Ford Tough" rules could be seen in some ways as a reaction to the American Family Association boycott of Ford, as many of the "rules" appear to be aimed at things that could be seen as effeminate such as pink shirts and manicures. On the other hand, it also seems like Ford may alienate a large number of potential buyers who are comfortable wearing pink shirts, using hair products, and drinking a latte in their attempt to associate Ford Trucks with "manly men."

@Brent
Anyone with a sense of humour wouldn't take this the wrong way. Stop trying to hate on American Car Makers.

I would find these spots equally flawed if they came from any other manufacturer.

I dont see this campaign lasting long. Isnt there laws stating that impersonating a police officer is a crime, also im pretty sure blue/red emergency lights and that specific siren is for cops only. It may all be fake, the fact remain they are posing and acting as police officers in public and thats a no go. I would love to see those guys get picked up by real cops for the reasons stated above.

Jack, you ever seen Reno911? I figured that it was done about like that.

So, Jack, I take it you think all movies that have cop cars, cop uniforms, etc, are in jeopardy of getting in trouble? There are permits for that kind of stuff.
