Call me crazy, maybe?

If you go SD Tremor, do the 350. You get the better payload sticker, an extra ~1000 lbs for only ~$1000 more. Basically the same truck. I've spent too much time on the fordtremor board lurking. ?

Wow, tight squeeze there!

it is indeed!

Wow, just looked at the price of a F350 tremor. My eyes are watering. If towing is your thing I can see going to it, but I will say that I’m pleased with my F150 tremor.

Seems like a gigantic waste of your resources if you don’t have a reason to need the larger truck

What you just said! It broke my heart to sell my beloved "Big Iron", but once the 20k 43' toy hauler was sold, how do you justify riding around in this? 14 mpg was painful! So now I'm waiting on my KR PB max tow, looking forward to the improved mileage, power specs look great as well. I hadn't thought about the quality of ride aspect, as this was my fourth SD, so I've been in them for some time. I can't say I that I will miss my teeth being jarred by bumps! But damn, I miss Big Iron ...

I get it. I really love the look of the 250, and yesterday I saw a black Tremor 250 so I understand what you're saying. Unless I'm going to be hauling something heavy, my 150XLT PB is more than enough though.

check out my Ford F-200 with the 5.0 V8

ride is dog sh*t though due to the amount of leaf springs lmao

Why not just get a black F150 Tremor in a 3.5 EB? Best of both worlds!

I considered a Tremor F150 when I ordered my truck, but I just didn't like the orange, or the amount of space in the wheel wheel. Yes, the latter is easily fixable for some money.. As far as F150s go, I love my truck and think it looks great. It does need some meatier tires though.

Yup! Honestly my 3.5 EB is a waste compared to a 2.7, but I wanted the BAP with dual rear exhaust, and the extra power. Going PS is a big waste in comparison though.

I was looking at diesels real hard.

I wanted a 21 F150 supercab 3.0 PS, but there was only 1 in the whole country at the time in Detroit. I could have bought a loaded 21 F250 6.7 PS for what I paid for my 21 F150 3.5 ECO. At the time prices for F250 were what sticker is for a F150 now.

You can't beat a diesel for towing. Maybe electric someday when the bugs are worked out. I bought a 14,000 lb lift in Minnesota and rented a trailer and a Ram Cummings to go get it. They were out of 6.7 Powerstrokes. Combined weight was about 17,000 lift and trailer. That Cummings pulled 450 miles like it was nothing. I could go as fast as I wanted to.

Recently I had to move the same lift and rented the same trailer, but Enterprise only had Rams with biggest gas motor they make. What a dog that truck is. I was spinning the tires on slight grades from a standing stop. No power. I had to be sure to avoid hills or run the risk of not making it to next destination.

Bottom line is that guys with the 3.0 PS are reporting 25 + mpg. One person's father averaged 30 mpg in perfect conditions on a trip north from Florida. While the 3.0 PS would never pull my lift, the fuel mpg was what I was aiming at. The 6.7 PS has 1050 lb feet of torque like the Cummings and I have little doubt that it would do the job towing as well. Some guys with the 6.7 PS, 10 speed Trans and 3:31 axle are getting 20 - 23 mpg empty.

Not bad for a big rig like that.

MPGs there aren't shabby at all. At best I've seen 20-21 mpg on straight highway driving with my truck, but I'm around 16-17 combined, and I'm not too heavy on the boost. I do drive in the Normal drive mode fwiw. Running auto start 15-20 minutes in the cold doesn't help the mpgs, but doesn't hurt them too badly..

I wonder how your EB would have pulled that trailer w/ lift?


Honestly I think my next truck will be a PB with pro power. That's just so cool, and works so well.
