With so many shows to choose from every year, it makes it hard to see EVERY show that happens—and that’s why you have us and our awesome contributors to cover the ones you can’t attend!
Music City Showdown 2024, held on May 10-11 at the Williamson County Ag Expo Park in Franklin, Tennessee, was a spectacular gathering of automotive enthusiasts from across the country. This annual event has quickly become one of Nashville’s most prestigious automotive shows, attracting a diverse array of vehicles, from lifted and lowered trucks to classic cars, Jeeps, and SxS. This year’s showdown was not just about the vehicles—it was about the community, the atmosphere, and the perfect Tennessee weather that made it all possible.
The 2024 event featured a stunning display of meticulously maintained vehicles, highlighting the dedication and passion of their owners. Industry-leading vendors from across the nation set up shop, offering everything from custom parts, to detailing products, to the latest in automotive technology for your diesel truck right there. The event was designed to cater to a broad audience, ensuring that whether you were a seasoned car enthusiast or just a casual observer, there was something for everyone.
The inclusion of the Blessed Performance dyno added a competitive edge, as participants eagerly lined up to test the power and performance of their vehicles. We tested our project Stock to Not to see how far we could push with the 160 hp pump and ended up hitting a personal record of 537 hp/1,199 lb-ft torque. We want to send a special thanks to Matt at Blessed for helping us get some solid data at these events so we can push this truck further this year.
What truly set the 2024 Music City Showdown apart was the beautiful weather that graced the event. With clear skies, mild temperatures, and a gentle breeze, the conditions were perfect for an outdoor automotive show. The sun’s warm glow highlighted the polished chrome and vibrant paintjobs, adding an extra layer of brilliance to the already impressive lineup of vehicles.
Families and friends strolled through the exhibition grounds, enjoying not just the vehicles, but also the food trucks and seeing your favorite YouTubers walking around the grounds. The pleasant weather made it easy for attendees to spend the entire day at the event, taking in all that the Music City Showdown had to offer.
Located just a short drive from downtown Nashville, the Music City Showdown 2024 was more than just a truck show—it was a celebration of automotive culture and community. The combination of high-energy automotive action and perfect weather created an unforgettable experience for all who attended. For anyone who missed out, this event is undoubtedly one to mark on the calendar for next year.
