Whether you’re a die-hard car fanatic or you just like to look around at the newest models, this show is the ultimate destination for all things auto.
Texas Auto Show – Truck Zone
Trucks aren’t meant to be corralled indoors; they’re meant for wide, open space under the beautiful Texas sky. Located directly outside the Automobile building on the State Fair of Texas grounds, the Truck Zone encompasses 175,000 square feet of outdoor space featuring the latest and greatest pickups.
More than just a backdrop for automotive exhibits, the Truck Zone is truly an “off-road” adventure, offering experiences that will both educate and excite fairgoers with all things truck-related. From obstacle courses and outdoor games to mind-blowing truck displays, you never know what you’ll discover at the Truck Zone.

Chevrolet is the official vehicle of the State Fair of Texas, and we’re back again with the popular “Ride & Drive” attraction. We have two exciting tracks where you get the chance to test drive one of the featured vehicles. No coupons required. Tear up the track in a Corvette or Camaro. Or, take a tough Silverado and Colorado trucks for a spin through the rugged obstacle course. No matter what you choose, strap in and get ready for a ride you’ll never forget.
