Most people don’t
realize the Ford F150 Raptor was specifically designed in response to leaked
information about a secret program creating undead creatures, a program rumored
to be taking placeNot really...
Ok, maybe "Resident Evil 6" wasn’t so good, but
"World War Z" was a huge hit, "The Walking Dead" is still sprinting, "The Last of Us"
became an instant classic, and like the masses of walkers surrounding the mall in "Dawn of
the Dead", there is no end in sight. With that in mind (brains!), let’s look at Ford’s vehicle line-up, and how they fit
various zombie deadstyles!
Let’s start with the classic and original zombies from George A. Romero’s “Night of the Living Dead”; rugged, purposeful and relentless… they will not stop, just like Ford F150 trucks! And while Romero’s ghouls have a voracious appetite for brains, the F150’s available Ecoboost engine means you’ll spend less money and time at the pump!

The 2013 romantic
comedy “Warm Bodies” gave us zombies who could think, and by the virtue of
love, become human again. These thinking undead really don’t have to put a ton
of thought into driving one of Ford’s Hybrid or Electric vehicles. The C-Max
Energi or Hybrid, Fusion Hybrid, or Focus Electric, all have great economy,
amazing style, and cutting edge technology. It doesn’t take a high functioning
brain to drive smart!!
The 21st
century saw a major shift in zombie philosophy. Zombies in the new century still view humans as their entrée of choice, but movies like “28 Days Later”, Will
Smith’s “I Am Legend” and the Brad Pit big screen adaptation of “World War Z”
made them fast. Inhumanly fast! And if you are a zed-head in the new millennium,
Ford’s got the speed you need. Mustang offers a slew of packages and options to
take you from quick with the V6 pony, to ripping the screaming tires off the back
from a dead stop with the Shelby 500, and all points in between! Or as a Zack
runner, you may want the thrill of the Focus ST, the Focus that’s not for the
faint of heart, whether it’s beating or not!
The new century has
given us way more Zombies than we have ever had before, and “The Walking Dead”
comics, novels, and television series gave rise to “the hoard”, which is cool,
because Ford has cars, CUV’s and SUV’s that’ll help get that walker team to the
soccer pitch, or the shamble family down the block to the school play
comfortably, economically, and looking good… at least the Ford vehicle is good
looking. Whether it’s the Escape or Explorer, Edge or Flex, Taurus, Fusion, or
Focus, Ford has the right vehicle for every undeadstyle. And if you happen to
still be warm, you can stop by Ricart Ford in The Megamall and find the Ford
for your, ummm, lifestyle!
