Ford Wins Two 'Hottest Vehicle Awards' at the 2017 Specialty Equipment Market Association show

What you need to know

The Ford Focus and Ford F-Series are officially the Hottest Hatch and Hottest Truck of this year’s Specialty Equipment Market Association show. Ford’s domination of the show continues, as it collects these coveted awards at a greater pace than any other automaker. Ford has won 15 out of the 33 Hottest Vehicle awards presented by SEMA since 2010.
“We are beyond proud to have two back-to-back-to-back winners in our Focus and F-Series.” - Dave Pericak, global director, Ford Performance.

The F-Series


The F-Series – America’s favorite truck – collects SEMA’s Hottest Truck honors for the seventh time in the eight-year history of the award.

F-Series, the ultimate Swiss army knife of the aftermarket, is a proven favorite for customization into everything from tarmac-shredding drag racers to off-road monsters. America’s best-selling vehicle has been named Hottest Truck seven out of eight times in the award’s history.

The Ford Focus


The Ford Focus takes Hottest Hatch for the second straight year; this is the third time the nameplate has been awarded.

With its hot ST and RS performance trim levels, Focus continues to win over the aftermarket. Two years ago, it took home the final Sport Compact award. 2017 now marks two years running for Focus winning Hottest Hatch.



With more than 50 vehicles on display, including a large collection of custom builds at its stand, Ford’s presence at SEMA remains the largest of any automaker. This is the seventh year for the Ford Out Front performance demonstration track, a lead attraction of the 2017 show.
