Each year, the Los Angeles Auto Show displays all of the current models of trucks, SUVs, and cars, in addition to wild concept vehicles, and a host of aftermarket-equipped models. For the past several years, the staff of Truckin' has walked the aisles of the show, searching for those trucks and SUVs that really catch our eye, so we can pass the highlights of the show along to our readers.
While the L.A. Auto Show runs for two weeks at the beginning of January for the general public, there is a two-day special Press Days event where only the press may attend. During these Press Days, we roam the show with our cameras ready, with the results seen here.
