Full Coverage of 2020 Southeastern Truck Nationals: The Largest All-GM Truck Event East of the Mississippi

On July 11, the 10th annual Southeastern Truck Nationals (SETN)—the largest all-GM truck event east of the Mississippi—kicked off at an all-new location in Lebanon, Tennessee. The Wilson County Fairgrounds provided enough room for this quickly growing, all-GM single day truck show. This new spot is just a few hours from a large portion of the truck community, and attendees could find plenty of new, clean hotels to stay in one or two nights if needed.

Packed with lifted, lowered, restored and fully custom rides, this event brought all kinds. Vendors from nearly every major industry manufacturer gave spectators and truck owners plenty of cool stuff to check out throughout the day.

Naturally, show goers needed to eat, so a fleet of food trucks fed the masses all day long. What’s better than a full day of cool custom trucks, free vendor face-to-face time for questions and inspiration, and lots of different unique foods to munch on all day? Even with the food options on site, we may have snuck out of the showgrounds to grab a plate at Tom’s Blue Moon BBQ across the street. This award-winning griller shocked us with the amazing flavors and combinations, especially for such a lightly trafficked area. You can be sure that we will be sitting there next year at some point, too!

Now you’re probably hungry and ready to eat, so grab a sandwich and check out all these pictures from the event. We recommend this as one of the great single day shows our scene has to offer. Follow them online to get next year’s date and start planning your trip. We assure you it’s worth it!
