Car manufacturers, among many other entities, have used Nessie and other cryptids to market their products.
Check out this promotional photo for the upcoming 2019 Ford Ranger pickup truck.
Can You Spot The Hidden Bigfoot In These 2019 Ford Ranger Images?
The Loch Ness Monster is hiding in there, too.
After an eight-year hiatus, Ford has finally revived the Ranger nameplate for the U.S. The pickup truck’s return to America was highlighted by a handful of teasers, leading up to one massive debut in Detroit before the Ranger goes on sale just a few months. But as Ford continues to roll out the welcome mat for its beloved new pickup, the dedicated Ranger page on the Ford website has a few unique Easter eggs to note.
If you look closely in the background of two of the Ford Ranger images on the Ford website, you’ll see that hiding amongst the foliage and seascape are two of the most well-known creatures from modern folklore: Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster (aka Nessie). North American Product Communications Manager at Ford, Mike Levine, first pointed out the images on his Twitter account, which you can see upon further inspection.

For obvious reasons, Bigfoot and Nessie are both hard to see within the images.

As for the new Ranger, the pickup can be had in a number of different trims, including XL, XLT, and Lariat, all paired to a standard 2.3-liter inline-four engine engine a ten-speed automatic transmission. Power figures remain a mystery, but that same engine produces 310 horsepower (231 kilowatts) and 350 pound-feet (474 Newton-meters) of torque in the 2018 Mustang.
Production of the 2019 Ranger is set to begin in Michigan “late this year,” so it will still be several months before we know all the info on this exciting new truck. In the meantime, buyers will have to make do with rivals like the Toyota Tacoma, Honda Ridgeline, and others.
