Re: New Trends...best guesses?
Newer engine/trans swaps are going to become more and more common (5.3 & 6.0L). Prices for wiring/computer stuff and parts to make it all work have already come down a good bit.
Big wheels aren't going anywhere. Most standard wheel sizes on new vehicles are 17-18's for cars and 18-20's for trucks. I think the stupid big wheels are going away. The donk craze seems to have died a bit (FINALLY) in my area. A few years ago it was huge still. But I think 17-20's will remain just as, if not more, common than 15" wheels. I think the 20+ sizes are going away. "Rat rods" seem to be fading being replace with fauxtina or flat paint shop trucks. Paint keeps getting more and more crazy expensive, so I don't see the shop truck or patina truck craze dying anytime soon. Suspensions will keep going down. As mentioned above, lowering suspensions has never really been a "fad" but more of a norm. I think the crazy drops with cutting out sections of the bed is fading a bit. I've also noticed the number of crazy expensive custom show trucks (shaved everything, slammed, everything smoothed) seems to have dropped dramatically.
