LOS ANGELES Toyota’s Tacoma and Mitsubishi’s Raider pickup trucks star in spots that debut during tonight’s telecast of ABC’s Monday Night Football.

Publicis Groupe’s Saatchi & Saatchi in Torrance, Calif., unveils a spot in which young men partying in the desert accidentally tape a meteor striking a Tacoma.

After recovering from the shock blast, the boys whoop it up when they see the truck emerge apparently unscathed, except for losing its payload of exploded ATVs.

Torrance-based Toyota spent $80 million last year advertising the Tacoma, per Nielsen Monitor-Plus.
