F-100 Supernationals

Thousands of incredible Ford trucks amid gorgeous mountain scenery. What more could you ask for?

For fans of Ford trucks, no event matches up to the sheer insanity of the F-100 Supernationals. For 40 years, the event has drawn thousands of amazing Blue Oval pickups to the mountains of Tennessee for all to feast their eyes upon. And this year, after a multi-year absence, the F-100 Supernationals once again returned to the mountain resort town of Pigeon Forge. Like a real homecoming.

After all, the Supernats had taken place there for many years. But with massive construction taking place, the event was forced to relocate. This year, organizers secured space at the Dollywood Splash Country Water Park, which brought the legendary meet back where it belongs. As a result, Ford truck fans were treated to a full three days of incredible builds.

Perhaps the most exciting part of the F-100 Supernationals actually takes place during the opening ceremonies on Friday. Newly constructed builds are unveiled to the crowd for the first time amid cheers and applause. Awards are handed out on Saturday, totaling over 160 trophies up for grabs. And no matter which day you attend, you’ll find row upon row of restored and modified Ford trucks.
