[UPDATE] In an e-mail sent to Motor1.com, Ford explained the decision: "We are refining our approach to the annual SEMA Show to better reach and highlight how customers can personalize their Ford vehicles today and tomorrow. Our new approach showcases our winning portfolio of Cars, Trucks and SUVs and the comprehensive catalog of Ford Performance Parts and Accessories that customers can purchase online or from their local Ford dealer."
Ford has been putting on quite a show at the Specialty Equipment Market Association for as long as we can remember, but there will effectively be no show from the Blue Oval this year. Indeed, tucked away in a press release on SEMA's website is news about the Dearborn automaker skipping the 2022 event altogether. Not only that, but Honda is out as well. Why? Well, the answer is rather vague.
Here is the full announcement:
