Fords Show Up and Show Off at ‘Carlisle Truck Nationals’
Big crowds and big rigs made it a weekend to remember. Check out some of the coolest Ford trucks in attendance!
The recent 2019 Carlisle Truck Nationals in Carlisle, PA was a huge success. With over 1,700 trucks in attendance, the huge crowds had everything an automotive fan could ask for. The Carlisle Truck Nationals was three days of cool displays, live music, a bustling showfield, live exhibitions; and of course trucks of all generations and styles.
Of course Ford trucks were a huge hit, and there was something to appeal to every fan and fanatic.
Scene Stealers
With a custom paint job depicting the flag, Purple Heart medal, and scenes of battle; this Ford truck was a beautiful patriotic tribute to our troops.
This fiery red jacked up truck combined sky-high mods with a teeny tiny little miniature.
Could you walk by this supercharged 2017 F-150 Shelby Super Snake without getting weak in the knees? The 750 horsepower, 5.0-liter supercharged V8 beast was a pristine beast.
This show truck, a 2017 Ford F-150, was black, white, and badass all over.
On the other end of the spectrum was this Ford built for speed. The slammed yellow truck was modded out with slightly stanced wheels and a widened base.
Sometimes a truck turns heads for its solid, pure Ford style. It may not have been a a crazy build, but with a slight lift, and bad-to-the-bone features, this F-250 was a perfect rig.
Old School Cool
Likely a sixth-gen, early seventh-gen Ford has great throwback style, including the KC Highlights. The rich blue makes that chrome pop.
Two-toned F-150s anf F-150 rangers made for a gorgeous pair.
What so you do when you see a 1979 F-150 for sale? Yep. You jump at it! Someone went home with one sweet ride.
Named “Chromezilla” this is a modified 1979 E-350 van. Riding high and looking good, Chromezilla was a crowd favorite!
Working Hard, Playing Hard
Many rides got to show off their prowess and performance at the Carlisle Truck Nationals. The show featured competitions like drop and drag, burnouts, BMX and motorbike demonstrations, monster trucks, high truck, a low truck limbo, and Carlisle Elite.
In addition to all the smoky fun, squealing tires, and jaw dropping stunts,there was plenty to keep visitors busy. The automotive flea market is always a popular sport. And the midway saw partners like A&A, Ranch Hand Bumpers, American Force Wheels, Skyjacker, Amsoil, Eastwood Company, 4 Wheel Parts, Extang and more. What made their presence even more fun was the fact that A&A hosted on-site installs, offering guests a chance to have truck work done, all while enjoying the show. Atturo Tires, new to the truck show, even stepped up, sponsoring the burnout contest.
The show was the perfect place to see and experience some great trucks. If you are interested in attending any future Carlisle events, check them out online.
