Major automakers including Ford, Toyota, Honda/Acura, Nissan, Stellantis with Dodge and Jeep, and Mitsubishi will be there.The show runs November 3-6.Major automakers are committed to the SEMA show November 3, making up a lot of the 1.1 million square feet of indoor exhibition space and maybe even some of the 1 million square feet outdoors. The nearly sold out indoor floorspace more than six months ahead of the show’s opening Nov. 3-6 suggests a strong economy, at least in the automotive aftermarket, despite tariffs and uncertainty in the price of gas and oil.Here’s an update from SEMA itself: Over 1 million net square feet of exhibit space is already committed. Strong OEM presence from Ford, Toyota, Honda/Acura, Nissan, Stellantis with Dodge and Jeep, and Mitsubishi. More than 2,000 brands exhibiting.

Ford and MOPAR have large footprints there. Toyota still has that long, thin strip of land traversing the Central Hall overlooking Meguiar’s, Holley, and the NHRA. Nissan is in the west end of the Central Hall, while Honda Racing Corporation remains tucked into its usual spot in the far southeast corner of the Central Hall. Battle of the Builders is also a few spaces away from Honda. Last year’s champ, Troy Trepanier, took top honors with his immaculately built ’36 Ford Roadster.
