Toyota tough, the FTX screams manly.
Cameras in hand, we tackled the '05 L.A. Auto Show with full force to bring you the latest and greatest trucks, SUVs, and concepts available from each manufacturer. Surprisingly, GM had a large presence at the show with several attractive concepts presented. Honda was out in force with its new Ridgeline truck with trick storage arrangements and aggressive styling. Jeep also brought serious hardware to the show with its huge green machine. Aftermarket suppliers were also present at the show, releasing wheels, custom accessories, and audio products. One of the most talked about trucks at the show was the Oakley/Al & Ed's Autosound-equipped Dodge Ram race truck. Nearly one million visitors browsed the manufacturers' wares and provided the West Coast with a worthy auto show.
