Texas chase on TV - Great ad for Ford?

What a great free ad that had to be for Ford.
They chased this guy in an older F150 for two hours, nearly half of it on three wheels as the left rear tire was blown out.
They attempted at least three spike strips, with at least five PIT maneuvers, before attempting a rolling block, before attempting quite a few PIT maneuvers again, before finally slowing him down with a rolling block, followed by a PIT into the rain soaked side of the road ditch.

Can you imagine a Ford ad showing how their trucks are built "Ford Tough" and what they can withstand?

Is there a link? I love watching chases better than being in them.

It is now over.
It was on HLN and FOX, live.
They took him down about 15-20 minutes ago or so.

Guy drove off from a gas station without paying, then tried to run down a cop, and then from there, the state of Texas was on his tail for two hours.
