Forum Index : Other Stuff : How Toyota sold their ute's to Kiwi's....
I remember these ads from my youth, but although targeted at the NZ market, I expect many an Aussie would also relate to these kinds of ad. AD #1... AD #2... AD #3.... AD #4.... To the rest of the world - yes, this IS how Toyota marketed farm vehicles to the NZ market at the time, and it WORKED - Toyota sold a PLETHORA of vehicles into NZ via these ads. ![]() Smoke makes things work. When the smoke gets out, it stops! |

Oh, THAT one is an absolute classic! ![]() Nice one, my son! At the time that was on-air, you guessed it - the fun-police people with no sense of humor at all, complained about the word being used. As a fellow kiwi, do you remember that? Billy Connolly even referenced it during one of his NZ tours. |

I remember the Ad. shown on TV for only a short while, but came back at a later date. I think the fun police got overruled. Toyota also had other Ad's with bulls driving a ute; in Aussie they had a series of similar but different Ad's. |
