Highlights from the Sunshine State

There’s not a much better backdrop for a truck show than the Sunshine State. An awesome experience all around, the event featured some incredible diesel trucks at center stage. Energy was already high when we rolled into town Friday night, but the show got up to full speed by Saturday morning and didn’t slow down all weekend.

We spent the day Saturday catching up with truck owners, admiring the top-quality builds, and exploring the vendor booths. The vendor booths were a treasure trove for gearheads, featuring the latest and greatest in diesel performance parts, accessories, and lifestyle merch. From cutting-edge engine tuners to custom suspension kits, the vendors catered to the diverse needs of the diesel crowd, ensuring that attendees left with both inspiration and the tools to turn their diesel dreams into reality.

As the sun went down, the lights came up. Seriously. Saturday night’s light show revealed some of the coolest lighting setups we’ve seen.

While the trucks were obviously the main event, the Lifted Florida Truck Show provided all kinds of entertainment, including an axe throwing competition and a best and worst tattoo contest.

One of the show’s highlights was the Truck Showdown, a thrilling spectacle that showcased the power of some crazy diesel monsters. From meticulously restored classics to monstrous modern marvels, each entry brought a unique flavor to the competition. The Truck Showdown not only emphasized the brute force under the hood but also the artistry in customization. Lifted trucks adorned with striking paint jobs, intricately designed decals, and gleaming chrome details vied for the coveted title of “Best in Show.”

We always like to support events that sponsor a charity, and the Lifted Florida Truck Show does just that, donating the proceeds of event raffles to the Kids Cancer Foundation.

For those who couldn’t make it this year, fear not – mark your calendars for next September, because the Lifted Florida Truck Show is an experience that we don’t recommend you miss. Until then, keep those turbos spooling, and we’ll see you at our next stop.
