Can you name the actor that has done truck commercials for Ford, Chevy, and Dodge? Plus he auditioned for Toyota



Walter Goggins, prominent in the end of the commercial, was also the antogonist in Justified, where Sam Elliot was in 12 episodes







Since his Dodge Ram Trucks ads are more recent, they are easy to find on You Tube.



But his truck commercials for Ford and Chevy (both in 1998,99) were much longer ago, and this is the only one I can find of either.

he has also made a commercial for Union Pacific Railroad.

and he did a pilot for a tv show Evel Knievel



He even auditioned for a Toyota Truck commercial, way way back, https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1079-armchair-expert-with-dax-28955120/episode/sam-elliott-53336851/ minute 26:56
