The automotive specialty equipment industry typically gathers during the first week of November for the SEMA Show. Although the in-person event is not taking place this year, the industry will connect online through SEMA360. Taking place November 2-6, at www.sema360.com, the trade-only online emarketplace is set to include more than 650 manufacturing companies and thousands of attendees from throughout the world.



Like the annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas, SEMA360 will include live activities throughout the week, including a 24-hour vehicle build by Ryan Friedlinghaus and the West Coast Customs crew, a press conference from Toyota, appearances from celebrities and more. The stars of the week, however, have always been and continue to be the manufacturers and their new products, including 2,200 that will be included in the New Products Showcase and those that will be featured on the 330 project vehicles in the SEMA360 Builders Showcase.



Despite the consumer appeal of the SEMA Show, both the annual in-person event and the SEMA360 online event are trade-only and focus on helping businesses with new products and skills. Since the first SEMA Show in 1967 under the grandstands of Dodgers Stadium, small manufacturers have been able to launch their businesses to a worldwide audience of professional resellers, buyers and media. The SEMA Show has maintained its allure for small mom-and-pop shops exhibiting alongside established manufacturers and major automakers, and SEMA360 will continue that tradition. More than 100 participating manufacturers have never exhibited at the SEMA Show before. They help make up the 650-plus manufacturers representing every market segment of the automotive aftermarket.


From motorsports, hot rods and restoration, to off-road, restyling and collision repair, SEMA360 represents a $46.2 billion industry. Attendees include buyers, distributors and resellers from big box stores, as well as speed shops, installers, restylers, jobbers, and online retailers. Nearly 30% of the SEMA360 attendees are from outside of the United States, giving manufacturers greater opportunities to expand their markets.



“This will be the first time in more than 50 years that the SEMA Show will not take place in person,” said Tom Gattuso, SEMA vice president of events. “We’re pleased and excited to bring the industry together to connect and do business through SEMA360. The online platform is making it possible for the industry to celebrate SEMA Week during the first week of November. Manufacturers and buyers will be connecting and interacting, and they’ll be making history.”



The 650 Manufacturer Showcases, more than 2,200 new products and 30 education seminars are available only to those registered for SEMA360. Login credentials are required, and will be sent to participants who are registered and approved. For more information or to sign up, visit www.sema360.com.

Marketing GVP Ed Laukes will address SEMA360 participants on Monday, November 2, at 9:30 a.m. (PST).

Just because SEMA has gone “virtual” this year, doesn’t mean great announcements still can’t be made on the new SEMA360 platform. Indeed, on November 2, at 9:30 a.m. (PST), Ed Laukes, GVP for Toyota Marketing, will let everyone know what’s in store for Toyota’s 2020 SEMA program.

“Of course, I’d rather be talking from the SEMA Show floor in Las Vegas, but I’m really excited everyone will be tuning in from afar,” said Laukes. “When SEMA decided to go virtual, we knew we wanted to be a part of it.”

Toyota has long been the gold standard in the industry for its quality, durability and reliability, so it’s no surprise that Toyota would be a reliable SEMA partner regardless of what twists and turns the road had in store.

Tune in live Monday, November 2, at 9:30 a.m. (PST) on the Media Center tab or on Toyota’s Showcase on SEMA360. You won’t want to miss it!

The ’19 Ford F-350 Lariat, to be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson on October 23, made its debut at the 2018 SEMA Show.

Truck Hero to Auction ’19 Ford F-350 Lariat at Barrett-Jackson for Charity

Truck Hero’s 2018 SEMA Show “Ultimate Tailgate Truck” will be auctioned at Barrett-Jackson, Friday, October 23, at 5:30 p.m. All proceeds will benefit Building Homes for Heroes. Starting with a ’19 Ford F-350 Lariat and designed by Truck Hero engineers, the pickup features a crew cab, dual rear wheel, 8-ft. bed with a stock 6.7L diesel engine (with 935 lb.-ft. of torque and 450hp) and an automatic transmission. The 2WD chassis was lowered by ARFT's Speed Shop's custom-dropped air suspension with a 4-link rear end and Air Lift Performance 3P air management system on all four corners. Black, copper and smooth, this truck shines thanks to the Custom Cars & Concepts program at Michigan's Washtenaw Community College, with students shaving door handles and applying the mirror-perfect AkzoNobel Modern Classikk black paint.

Accents include a custom billet Ford oval and fender badges, all copper-plated. Other added touches include a Ford Performance tailpipe, BedRug bedliner, Husky Liners all-weather floor mats, ARP 12-point fasteners and a Kleinn Automotive train horn. This truck rides on custom Fuel Off-Road Dually Maverick 24-in. wheels that are copper-plated with black painted spokes and baby moon caps, wrapped in Dilente Bandit 285/40R24 tires. To top it off, an assembly of custom tailgating elements were designed that package under the truck bed cover and behind the tailgate to put on a complete party. The truck bed houses a remote-controlled, articulating 65-in. TV, custom bed slide with integrated inlaid wood game table and Maxxsonics audio speakers stuffed into UnderCover dual SwingCases (also remote-controlled), all covered up by Extang's Solid Fold 2.0 hard folding bed cover. On the back of the truck is a custom copper mount with an articulating Yeti cooler and grill.

The entire sale price of this truck will benefit Building Homes for Heroes, which makes a significant difference in the lives of wounded American service members from the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts and their families since 2006. The organization gifts mortgage-free homes that meet the needs of the men and women who have selflessly served our country. These homes not only help to remove the family's financial burden, they help to restore the individual's freedom, and enable the veteran to lead a more independent and productive civilian life. To further assist veterans, the organization has added programs, including financial planning services, family funding and emergency support.
