SEMA is where the big boys bring out all of their best new toys. With journalists and buyers alike interested in this year's new products, each manufacturer brings with it the latest in design, technology, and application in an attempt to get a jump on the competition. This year's SEMA Show was dominated by the new Ford F-150 and Hummer H2, with nearly 50 percent of this year's truck participants expanding their new lines to accommodate these booming markets. It was exciting to see how the new year was projected to unfold, and we are sure with the economy back on the rise, 2004 will be bigger and even better than this past year. We tracked down what we think are the top 101 new products launched at this year's SEMA Show. Read along, circle your favorite products, and make some phone calls, because 2004 is full of great new truck toys.
