The Specialty Equipment Market Association show opens November third in Las Vegas. Twelve days from right now. And I know what you're thinking -- SEMA is the big fancy trade show for lifted trucks and loud builds, it's got nothing to do with a guy changing oil in driveways. Here's the thing. I treat that show floor like a futures market. Every dollar those exhibitors spend on a booth is a bet on where the industry thinks YOUR customers are going next year.

Two days ago -- Tuesday, October twentieth -- BendPak put out their whole SEMA plan, and it reads like a weather report. They're doing an outdoor tailgate on opening day in the Silver Lot, booth number eighty thousand forty-three, and they're unveiling the global reveal of a custom truck called the Valor C ten.

Jeff Kritzer, BendPak's president, said in the announcement, and I'm paraphrasing here, SEMA is about spotlighting the coolest builds, but it's also about equipping the shops that bring them to life. Think about that. The biggest lift company on the planet is debuting an eight-arm lift and EV battery tables at the same time as a supercharged C ten. They are equipping shops for two futures at once: the lifted, loud, modified truck -- and the electric vehicle that needs its battery dropped out from underneath.
