Okay, I get it, these are manly trucks, only ‘real men’ drive Dodge trucks, if I buy one my ‘manly-parts’ will increase in size, Dodge trucks are pure testosterone moulded into truck form, Dodge trucks are the vehicular equivalent of strangling a full-grown grizzly bear with a rope that you made from you own chest hair at the same time as bench-pressing two dozen sissy Ford trucks.
Do advertisers really believe that men will self-identify with one of these ‘teams’ and run out to buy one of these trucks? Gee, I was thinking about buying the Honda, but these Dodge trucks can drive through fire... that will come in sooooo handy on my daily commute.

Yeah! And how come we don't see the "Hairstylists" and "Pastry Chefs" teams featured in that commerical?
