Ford Edge Sport, Explorer Get Dressed up for SEMA
Ford is headlining its 2015 SEMA Show customs with crossover and SUV models.
The American automaker along with the new Ford Performance group will showcase 28 customized vehicles at the Las Vegas Convention Center in November and has begun previewing their lineup with the 2015 Ford Edge Sport and 2016 Ford Explorer Sport. Tackling the Edge Sport crossover this year will be Tjin Edition, Ignition by Webasto and Vaccar, while All Star Performance, Cars by Kris, MAD Industries and Goodguys will work their magic on the Explorer Sport.
As you can expect with all SEMA projects, each vehicle will be modified with their own unique style to show off what each model can do with some aftermarket touches. All three builders taking on the Ford Edge Sport are opting for large 22-inch wheels for rollers, while boosting performance with bolt-on engine upgrades and suspension ranging from H&R Springs to Air Lift air suspension.

The custom Explorer Sports range from the ultimate road trip vehicle to transforming the SUV to a luxury urban commuter. Two of the Explorer Sport builders are going with 20-inch wheels while the other pair are rolling with 24 inchers and they’ll be easy to pick out since each vehicle is opting for their own unique shade ranging from copper to bright yellow.
Check back early next month as AutoGuide.com will be reporting live from the 2015 SEMA Show.

This is the best: when they first raise a station wagon into a SUV cause wagons are not cool enough, then they lower the SUV into a station wagon to make it even cooler.
