Sierra Denali HD
Between the huge success of GMC's half-ton Sierra Denali and the high sales of Ford's King Ranch line, making a Sierra 2500HD Denali would make perfect sense. GMC displayed a concept version with custom paint, Denali trim, custom bedmounted toolbox, black leather interior with suede headliner, cargo-management system, and DVD screens in the back of the front-seat headrests. Since the concept is based on a 2500HD crew cab, it's powered by the 6.6-liter Duramax diesel V-8 backed by the six-speed Allison. Production wasn't officially announced, but it's almost a guarantee that it'll happen.
Sport Trac Adrenalin
Not only is SEMA becoming a more important place to show concepts to gauge consumer interest, but manufacturers also are using it to debut new models. Ford's newest Sport Trac, the Adrenalin, was revealed at SEMA. It was inspired by a concept shown in 2005 and is almost identical to that vehicle. This model uses front and rear fascias that are 3.5 inches lower than the standard Sport Trac's, giving it a lowered appearance, and uses the 10-spoke, 20-inch wheels seen on the concept. It's also the first Sport Trac to be offered with all-wheel drive. Pricing starts at $30,495.
Tomcar
Tomcar has taken the idea of the all-terrain vehicle to a new level. The company refers to it as a safer alternative to an ATV that can go places an SUV can't. Originally created for military purposes, Tomcar manufactures several different types of vehicle, including border patrol and security, agriculture, construction, and outdoor adventure. Seen here is the TM-4, with a 115-inch wheelbase and up to 13.5 inches of suspension travel. It's powered by a choice of gas or diesel engines and seats four.
Bully Dog Drag Truck
We liked this truck so much, we chose it as our selection for best truck/SUV of show for this year's Sony PlayStation 3 Gran Turismo awards. Bully Dog started with a regular cab 2007 Dodge Ram and created a spectacular drag truck. The 5.9-liter Cummins has been highly modified, now putting out more than 900 horsepower and 2000 pound-feet of torque. The Ram also features a custom suspension, which helps the truck pull near 1.0 g on a skidpad. It also has a custom interior and, as you would hope, upgraded racing brakes.
Country Music 3500HD
Okay, so this isn't the most practical truck ever built (that's not what SEMA's about), but this truck has actually been used as a rolling sound stage at the Country Music Festival. When the bed and tonneau are opened, the truck is transformed into a stage, complete with lighting and power for amps and mikes. Chrome accents and graphics play up the music theme, and the crew cab was dressed with saddle-like aniline leather trim, accented with guitar-inspired wood and mother-of-pearl inlays.
