Team members from EGR used the recent SEMA Garage Nissan Titan Measuring Session to prototype new parts for the truck’s release.

Measuring Sessions provide SEMA-member manufacturers hands-on access to new and soon-to-be-released vehicles in order to gather surface data in preparation for designing, developing and manufacturing specialty-equipment parts and accessories. Measuring Sessions also provide participants the opportunity to speak directly with the engineers and technical staff from the session’s featured automakers.

The next Measuring Session at the SEMA Garage will feature the 2017 Ford Super Duty F-250 Lariat 4x4 Super Cab with the 6.7L 4 Valve Power Stroke V8 Diesel Engine. Set for Tuesday–Wednesday, June 21–22, in Diamond Bar, California, the event is a follow-up to the Dearborn, Michigan, measuring session that took in April.

Register for the 2017 Ford Super Duty F-250 Measuring Session. 

For additional information regarding the event, contact Jim Moore at 909-978-6739 or email jimm@sema.org.
