Holden New Zealand launches the new Colorado with ‘Tow Truck’ spot via Special Group, Auckland
Holden New Zealand has launched the new Colorado with a 60 second TVC entitled ‘Tow Truck’ via Special Group, Auckland.
The spot tells the story of a Holden driver who comes to town and rights a wrong, all the while showcasing the new Colorado’s impressive 3.5 tonne towing and low-end torque.
“Of course, the new Colorado has so much more than just loads of grunt,” says Holden GM of Marketing, Marnie Jane Samphier. “Apart from its great new looks and redesigned interior it’s loaded with the latest tech and has real car-like drivability.”
“The new Colorado is such a great truck that we wanted to tell a hero’s story,” adds Special creative director, Angus Hennah. “Gregor from Fish did a fantastic job bringing to life, what really is, a modern-day Western. And the town of Thames was a great backdrop for our story.”

What a lovely little ad – the difference between this and the rubbish that Holden produce in AU is immense.
Nice one, Special Group.
Gregor’s first Australian ad was also a spot for Holden some 26 years ago.
This one’s better!
Pay attention AJF. This is how it should be done.
Cheesy as fk
Trying very hard to be retro American. All the cliches.
Nice.
