KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The Tremor features the latest tech that is meant to enhance off-roading capabilities; its off-road specialty makes it a top competitor when put up against the competition.
- The interior is designed for convenience during off-roading, enabling longer trail adventures in comfort.
- Upgraded suspension provides improved handling, further elevating the Tremor's off-road prowess.
THE IMPECCABLE POWER OF THE TREMOR
The Tremor focuses on two engines from the extensive F-150 lineup, both offering the power necessary to conquer any task, not just off-roading. When equipped with the 5.0-liter naturally aspirated V8 or the 3.5-liter twin-turbo V6 paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission, the Tremor delivers some of the biggest towing capabilities you’ll ever see, surpassing a whopping 10,000 pounds. With a payload capacity of around 1,880 pounds, it is a true powerhouse for any job you could throw at it. The smaller truck bed is also designed with purpose. It better complements the tremendous engine power by enhancing handling on challenging trails. With up to 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, the Tremor can accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 5.5 seconds.
EXTERIOR AND INTERIOR
Available exclusively with the four-door SuperCrew cab, the Tremor features a slightly smaller 5.5-foot truck bed. However, this design offers more cabin space than you’d get with a larger bed. It ensures comfortable stretching during long road trips and provides added comfort for rough rides. The cabin is equipped with numerous storage cubbies, protecting valuables during bumpy rides, or simply keeping the interior clean and organized. The Tremor does not shirk when it comes to making sure that its clean, upscaled interior is kept organized. Campers and workers alike will appreciate the fold-flat center console, creating a convenient work surface or table while on the go. The Tremor also offers the option to support a 7.2-kW battery in the bed, a new feature that furthers the “work/play” feel of the Tremor, and provides electricity to any camp or worksite.
FEATURES FOR AN UNMATCHED TRIM
The Tremor comes with several hidden features that serve to further enhance its off-road prowess. The upgraded suspension delivers superior control and a more stable ride compared to other F-150 trims. Slanted inner edges on the side mirrors align with the road lines, which serve to better facilitate adjustments. The lower-mounted front window significantly improves visibility overall. Equipped with 33-inch all-terrain tires, the Tremor ensures excellent grip on any trail or terrain. The Trail Control feature helps maintain a consistent speed while navigating off-road obstacles, and is able to be calibrated to most types of terrain obstacles.
The Tremor is also packed with the latest safety and tech features, further enhancing the already impressive F-150 lineup. The pro-trailer backup assist is particularly useful for those taking RVs off-road for camping adventures. The improved 8-inch infotainment system runs on the latest version of the Sync 4 software, with an option to upgrade to a 12-inch system. Sync 4 now allows over-the-air software updates, provides traffic and weather alerts for daily use and trail planning, and includes a 360-degree multi-camera system that proves invaluable when navigating challenging terrain.
