Ford F-Series Awarded SEMA’s Truck of the Year
Ford F-Series wins for the eighth time in the nine-year history at 2018 SEMA.
The Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show has kicked off with a bang for Ford. The F-series once again claimed top honors for the industry. It was a great showing for Ford, with three perennial favorite Ford vehicles collecting Vehicle of the Year awards at the 2018 SEMA show. The F-Series, Mustang, and Focus all received top honors. The F-Series was named Truck of the Year, while Mustang and Focus captured Car of the Year, and Sport Compact of the Year honors, respectively.
“We are honored that SEMA Show exhibitors have bestowed Ford with these prestigious awards,” said Hermann Salenbauch, global director, Ford Performance. “We make a point of embracing the aftermarket and appreciate this endorsement from the SEMA community as we strive to keep our best-selling nameplates among the most customized vehicles around the world.”
“Ford vehicles serve as great platforms for personalization, evident by the three SEMA Awards announced today,” said Chris Kersting, SEMA President and CEO. “Regardless of whether drivers are choosing a car, truck or sport compact vehicle, they can be confident in knowing there’s a tremendous range of options for customization when they select a Ford vehicle.”
F-Series, America’s best-selling vehicle, continues as a proven favorite in the aftermarket, collecting top truck honors for the eighth time in the award’s nine-year history.
Ford’s presence at SEMA remains the largest of any automaker with more than 50 vehicles on display, including a large collection of custom builds at its stand. This is the eighth year for the Ford Out Front performance demonstration track, annually a lead attraction at the show.
