2004 Los Angeles Auto Show

Each year, the Los Angeles Auto Show displays all of the current models of trucks, SUVs, and cars, in addition to wild concept vehicles, and a host of aftermarket-equipped models. For the past several years, the staff of Truckin' has walked the aisles of the show, searching for those trucks and SUVs that really catch our eye, so we can pass the highlights of the show along to our readers.

While the L.A. Auto Show runs for two weeks at the beginning of January for the general public, there is a two-day special Press Days event where only the press may attend. During these Press Days, we roam the show with our cameras ready, with the results seen here.

Downstairs, in Kentia Hall, a number of aftermarket-equipped trucks were on display, including this Ford F-150 from Whipple Superchargers.	This red Chevy SSR was a real standout in the Chevrolet booth.	The Hummer H3T concept was a real head-turner and is said to be very close to the production version.
Ford showed off the new Super Duty Harley-Davidson edition Crew Cab in its booth. It is slated to be introduced later this year.	The redesigned Dodge Durango sat proudly in the Dodge booth and was the recent recipient of Truckin's SUV of the Year award.	The Dodge Ram SRT-10 features a V-10 Viper powerplant and was recently proven to be the world's fastest production truck.
We stopped dead in our tracks when we spied this aftermarket-equipped Honda Element gracing the pedestal in the Honda booth.	The '04 Toyota Tundra Double Cab fared very well in Truckin's Truck of the Year competition.	The '04 Hummer H2 SUT features a pickup bed as part of its design.
The Saturn Vue Redline SUV was given a body treatment, was lowered, rolls on larger wheels and tires, and has a Honda-sourced engine.	The Porsche Cayenne was prominently displayed in the Porsche booth.	This PT Cruiser has definitely been modified for success, and is a far cry from it stock counterpart.
