New Products Showcase Entries From the 2015 SEMA Show
The trucks, SUVs and off-road section at the 2015 SEMA Show stretched more than 180,000 net square feet, and 42% of all display vehicles at the Show were trucks, Jeeps or SUVs. Those indicators are consistent with the fact that Ford F-Series, Chevy Silverado and Jeep’s Cherokee and Wrangler models have seen significant sales growth over the past several years, according to the “2015 SEMA Market Report.” It was no surprise, then, that the 2015 SEMA Awards for Hottest Truck and Hottest 4x4-SUV (presented annually to the most-featured vehicles around the Show) went to the Ford F-Series and the Jeep Wrangler, respectively.
Here’s a look at equipment for this segment that debuted in the 2015 New Products Showcase. We’ve also included interviews with industry members who shared their perspectives about what the market is doing, where growth may be found and the largest concerns for the segment in the coming year.
