Ford met 50 extravagante modellen op de SEMA Tuning Show

Het is de grootste en opvallendste tuningshow van Amerika, en dit jaar lijkt het alleen maar heftiger te worden. Deels schuldig aan het feit dat de kleinere modellen geen toekomst meer hebben in het land van herkomst.

Jammer, want er zaten soms best aardige creaturen bij, nu moeten we het doen met ‘dikker dan dik ‘ en dat gaat gepaard met modellen zoals de 2020 Ford Explorer, Expedition, Escape, Ranger en zelfs de Transit.
