Life in the Slo Lane – The 2026 C10 Slo Down

Life moves fast these days. Between work, family, and an endless calendar of commitments, it’s hard to find time to simply slow down and enjoy the moment. That’s exactly what the C10 Slo Down, presented by Choppin’ Block Chassis, is all about.

Nestled along California’s scenic Central Coast at the beautiful Avila Beach Golf Resort, the C10 Slo Down offers one of the most relaxing truck show experiences you’ll find anywhere. Surrounded by rolling green fairways and postcard-worthy views, hundreds of custom Chevrolet trucks transform the pristine golf course into an unforgettable display of craftsmanship. From sky-high lifted builds to body-dropped trucks sitting on the grass, every style is represented and every build has a story to tell.

The event is more than just an impressive lineup of trucks. Guests can enjoy local food vendors serving up coastal favorites, browse the vendor village packed with apparel, suspension manufacturers, wheel companies, and custom fabrication shops, or kick back in the VIP Beach Balcony Lounge while taking in breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean.

With near-perfect California weather, the C10 Slo Down attracts some of the finest custom trucks in the country. And if you’re wondering, yes, mini trucks and SUVs are welcome too, adding even more variety to an already impressive show field.

Spanning two laid-back days, the event is the perfect opportunity to reconnect with friends, meet fellow truck enthusiasts, network with industry professionals, and simply enjoy the slower pace. Just minutes from Avila Beach, attendees also have easy access to great restaurants, shopping, and everything the Central Coast has to offer. If the C10 Slo Down isn’t already on your event calendar, it should be at the top of your list for 2027.
