F-100 Builder's Guide

A NEW DECADE

2020 Classic Ford Truck Trends

- Compiled by SOLOMON LUNGER•

TRENDS DEFINITELY COME AND GO, especially in the fast paced and ever-changing world of custom classic trucks. One thing is for certain: The annual SEMA show in Las Vegas will always tell you both where the market has been and where it is heading. We put together some of the trends we noticed particular to the classic Ford truck markets and compiled them here in our special SEMA coverage issue. Over the last few years the aftermarke­t support for the Ford F-100s has most certainly exploded. Manufactur­ers are seeing the need and demand for more and more Ford truck parts, which of course we can all rejoice in, and we are excited to see where this demand leads well into the next decade and beyond!

One of our favorite parts of the SEMA trucks that we saw from this year’s show was most of the owners said they built their trucks to drive. In years past, a lot of the trucks were usually super custom and, in a way, almost “too nice” and unusable for regular driving/cruising duties. Many of the truck builds this year seemed to have a Pro Touring muscle-truck vibe but were still useful. We sure hope that this is one of those trends that sticks around so we can see more people out their driving their custom and classic builds.
