SEMA 2019 REPORT

I was looking for a Ranger Raptor, was surprised there was not one in the Ford booth. Did like this one:

ADD was in the South Hall Upper Floor, where they always have been.

The hall is designated and filled with all the truck and off road stuff.

Thank you for sharing. Some of the "bumpers" definitely did not look like original equipment!!

Indeed. What you didn't realize though is that WeatherTech actually created those "bumpers" using their same materials and cutting edge technology.

I walked into a forsaken corner way down at the end of the South Hall Upper Floor and wandered into a legit Ford Ranger Raptor in the Brenthel Industries booth.

OK, it was a NA model For Ranger with all the Ranger Raptor parts imported from Australia market and assembled by PAX Power with a few other aftermarket goodies for good measure.


only image I could find

Thanks for sharing. Looks like there’s a lot to see there.

SEMA was great! Maybe a little bit smaller than last year but impressive nonetheless. So much ground to cover and so many things to see it's almost impossible to catch it all!

Ford out Front had a great presence and the big drift lot was poppin all day every day. Ken Block showed up and put on a show - although I thought his appearances would have lasted longer.

I agree, not many Ford Raptors this year, a couple here and there. TONS of the Jeep Gladiators and a lot more Broncos and K5 Blazers which were cool to see. If you know someone holding onto an old bronco, let me know ;-)

Some of my SEMA pictures attached!

Thanks for the pics and info!
I was out in Vegas for another professional conference last week during SEMA (yep some dummy scheduled ours for the same week as SEMA). Town was nuts with people and hotels 3x $ normal...worst part was the fact that I couldn’t figure out how to lie, cheat or steal my way into SEMA—would appear from the WeatherTech ladies to have been much better than sitting with a roomful of lawyers blathering on which was my week (open eye, poke pencil). How does one mere mortal get into SEMA by the way?

you call your industry friends and borrow a pass for the day. also helps if you buy the beers.

Perhaps you are indeed more interested in post number 1. They are only too happy to pose and smile.

Our booth is right behind these girls, we share a booth with our sister company DV8, the other half of the sign says ADD. You were very close! lol

Friday, the SEMA Show is open to the general public.
SEMA Cruise and SEMA Ignited are also great way to see what else is going on at the show.
