ast Tennessee is a special place for car and truck enthusiasts, as the area is packed with great trucks and talented builders. But the area is also known for bringing enthusiasts from across the country together for outstanding events. With a full schedule of shows in the tourist towns of Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, the Smoky Mountains are a great destination for classic trucks. One such event is the F-100 Supernationals & All Ford Show, held at the Sevierville Convention Center in Sevierville, Tennessee. The event celebrated its 46th year in 2025 and did so with a huge turnout of trucks and spectators.

The three-day event features an indoor and outdoor show, as well as a great swap meet, new parts vendors, and even a few vendors geared for the ladies. Awards are split into a dozen classes and an additional four classes for patina trucks. The variety is always impressive, and we saw trucks as old as the Model A up to the modern generation of the F-series and Bronco. The show field certainly had a high concentration of bumpside and dentside trucks, ranging from restored stockers to full custom builds and plenty of patina’d shop trucks in-between. There was also a great mixture of two- and four-wheel-drive trucks, as well as some cool, heavy-duty trucks. After the show closes each day, there were lots of options for evening cruising, and a few hosted afterparties to keep the good times rolling throughout the three-day event.

Event organizers raffled off a stout engine built by Blue Ridge Automotive—maybe the 331ci small-block Ford will power an F-100 that drives to next year’s show. Speaking of which, you should be marking your calendars for next year’s F-100 Supernationals. Ford trucks will once again invade Sevierville September 17-19, 2026.
