T-dubz Posted October 26, 2020 Share Posted October 26, 2020 Looks pretty sweet. Here’s another article on it. https://www.motor1.com/news/450972/ford-f-150-tremor-spy-photos/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 There is definitely a sweet spot in the market for this truck....and one of the few spots where for whatever reason, Ford has neglected and not sure why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a lot of Chevy Trail Boss's running around. Don't know why Ford took so long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ram Rebel has been around long enough they should have seen this coming. They did, they just went with Super Duty first. I think the F150 should have been next with the Ranger following on the new platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FR739 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I have to retrain my brain. When I saw the name Tremor I got excited hoping to see a cool street truck with a focus on performance. Then I saw the pics and remembered Tremor now means off-road and am disappointed. Not sure why an F-150 version is needed with the Raptor but it is what it is. I’m sure it will sell well though.

It’s not like they didn’t have anything to offer, just that Raptor was more expensive. Having both now is a good strategy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the F150 should have been next with the Ranger following on the new platform. i think the logic is F-150 Raptor was successful, but Super Duty didn’t warrant a full Raptor version but a partial one. And Ranger doesn’t either until the redesign. So they wanted to give Ranger and Super Duty an entrant into that market before giving F-150 another entrant. Now they’re fixing it.

T-dubz Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I’m a big fan of the tremor package and I’m glad to see it expanding to other models. There’s a big market for people who want the look of an off-road vehicle but don’t necessarily want to pay raptor prices (just look at all the people over on the bronco forums wanting Sasquatch just for looks).

blksn8k2 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 My guess is that Ford felt the FX4 package was good enough which was probably true at one time. Now that other manufacturers are offering factory lift kits, etc. the FX4 isn't quite enough to compete and not that many buyers are willing to step up to the Raptor. It really is overkill for most truck buyers. As others have said, the Tremor should hit the sweet spot. Too bad it won't have the 7.3L on the option list but at that point you might as well buy the SD version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they went further than FX4 with more lift so now it is Ford's turn to respond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was mostly just a trim package on a regular cab model. I bought one and liked it quite a bit. If the new one shows up in the next 6-8 months, I'd consider it.
