This highly valued and noteworthy new vehicle recognition reflects design platforms and suitability for accessories and upgrades. The Jeep Wrangler once again won the ‘Hottest 4×4 SUV’ award. Ford F-truck won the ‘Hottest Truck Award’.
Ford Motor Company and Chrysler/Jeep® took the top honors in these classes. Each winning vehicle must lend itself to aftermarket accessorizing and performance upgrades. The Jeep Wrangler is clearly a winner in its category, the 2013 SEMA Show had JK Wrangler retrofit products from one end to the other—including the huge Mopar® display with Jeep® Off-Road Performance Products!
