Pickup Truck And SUV Sales May Be In The Tank, But Aftermarket Accessories Are NotMore in: Projects, Engine, Ford, Fuel, Isuzu, Mobile Electronics, MOTORZ TV, NAIAS, Off-Road, Performance, Project JAKD, Suspension, SUV, Toyota | Comments | Permalink | 102,679 Views
 In research conducted by the Specialty Equipment Market Association (also known as "SEMA"), even after a 32% drop in new-pickup truck sales last month, SEMA found a one percent increase in automotive enthusiasts' demand for customizing their pickup trucks. This just means that owners are keeping their trucks longer due to the increase in price for new pickup trucks, as well as fuel costs. More importantly, the light-truck segment of the automotive market has been on the rise for several years, accounting for 42.3 percent of manufacturer sales in 2007 alone. Maybe there really is light at the end of the tunnel?

Engineers at Edge Products in Ogden, Utah helped solve this issue, with the release of the Evolution Programmer. We've been anxious to get our hands on one of Edge's new programmers for Project Truckblog, and wanted to be able to test out their programming unit. Full Story...

Project Truckblog: Hates To Be Stock
It's a shame when one of us here at Truckblog finds a stock pickup truck out in the wild. Let's face it, stock sucks. What's worse is when a stock truck is one of our own!
Introducing Project Truckblog, a late model Ford F-150 SuperCrew, purchased last Friday by Truckblog Webmaster, Chris. His 3rd Ford truck is ready to build-up through Truckblog. He's currently hunting for everything from suspension, wheels and tires, to exterior and interior mods. If you're a manufacturer and looking for editorial exposure, please inquire! You can help turn this stock truck into something wicked!
Please visit project.truckblog.com for more information and a complete list of upcoming mods.
