This fall, three of the most popular Ford models on our lot were awarded high honors at the 2018 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show. SEMA exhibitors are responsible for some of the most exciting technology in the world – and it’s those exhibitors who vote on the Vehicle of the Year awards. This year, three of the five award winners were Ford models.
The Ford F-Series was named Truck of the Year – marking the eighth time in the nine years the award has existed that this remarkable Ford truck has won. The Ford Focus, known for its performance trims, won the Sport Compact of the Year award for the fourth consecutive year, proving the model’s dominance in its segment. And hearing that the 2018 Ford Mustang had claimed the prestigious SEMA Car of the Year award didn’t surprise any of us at your Shelbyville Ford dealership – not only is this its fourth time topping competitors for the award, the Ford Mustang is the country’s best-selling sports car.
Because of the show’s focus on technology, the ability to personalize these Ford models and utilize cutting edge technology was particularly important. As SEMA President and CEO Chris Kersting explained, drivers “can be confident in knowing there’s a tremendous range of options for customization when they select a Ford vehicle.”
If you’re looking for a car or truck with outstanding quality that will still allow you to add plenty of personal touches, the SEMA awards show its hard to go wrong with a Ford model.
