A fishing trip. A scoot along the beach. A charming camping excusion. Whilst the activities in this witty spot for the Toyota HiLux may sound like perfect parent/child bonding experiences, they're actually mini-treats for a well-loved ute.
Following a separating couple as they divide their time with their vehicle equally, Saatchi & Saatchi's latest spot for the brand, In the Middle, plays out like an emotive family drama, albeit with a 4x4 rather than a 4-year-old.
Using a good cast and the cracking choice of Can't Fight This Feeling by REO Speedwagon as its backing, Scoundrel director Tim Bullock's take on a Kramer vs Kramer scenario substitutes the tears for cheers as its motorised protagonist goes through its paces.
