Nissan Pathfinder “Follow Me” Ad

This is a really fun ad, where a family in their Nissan Pathfinder asks some local in I’m guessing Alaska to show them the way to Glacier Point, and so they follow him while he drives a tow truck, a snowmobile, and a dog sled. Oh, but then they just take it too far, with the family asking to go to Crystal Falls, and with the guy taking a hang glider and asking them to follow him, because how could they possibly follow him there? (Yes, it’s a joke tag, but it makes me think the end should have been them driving off the cliff to what would be their deaths, but because of the super-safe air-bag system, top marks on crash tests and high safety ratings, they survive the plunge to the bottom, but end up dying of starvation and hypothermia: oh the humanity. And the mountain man arrives at Crystal Falls wondering what ever happened to them, seeing as how they followed him everywhere else.)

Here’s the cold car commercial:
