2021 F-150 Tremor Scheduled

[LiquidGene]

Fustration is a understatement with this Tremor situation. With all of this no information from Ford, my dealer told me to start coming to terms for it showing up possibly December...... Why did they even make this available for order? Just to piss everyone off is what.......

Yeah, Fox adjustable (so I can tow our Tt, well), keeping the truck as skinny as possible and maintaining the suspension geometry as much as possible while lifting it enough for decent clearance/breakover without being so tall I can't get under fallen trees. Paint pro film because pinstripes are only cool on hot rods. My current bed rack will transfer over which is my recovery gear, gas, water, air compressor, tent, awning and lights.

I would definitely do the suspension, winch and sliders in one shot and have the truck calibrated once. A half day later, it'll be done and I'll never think about it again

The f350 would be a complete new build and I don't even want to consider the additional cost of that build.

I'm a horrible golfer man. I played college football, two torn ACLs, snapped Tib & Fib in my right leg, torn pec, torn rotator cuff, made it to two practice squads but couldn't cut it in the league (I just wasn't good enough). I'm like a fatter, more broken, Charles Barkley trying to golf. Its just not pretty.

But living in AZ and respecting the legends, this is my dog, Sir Charles Bark-ley. Chuck for short. Rescue who has gone through a few rounds of chemo. Effin Stud, and hell of a dominoes player.

Yeah, this thread has gotten so stale were moving to dog pics. Join in or buzz off.

You sound like my brother, only his injuries were all in HS. The last one being the nail in the coffin for his football career. He was an all conference TE his JR and SR year. Had offers from Michigan State, Penn State , Iowa , Minnesota, Notre Dame and Northwestern. Lost it all 2 games left in his SR year. Torn ACL and some other damage. That was the last game he ever played. Might not sound like a big injury now, but it was in 1985. Surgery and recovery on a torn ACL was way different back then.

I played at UofA, but my wife played softball at ASU. House divided. We don't talk to each other some weeks of the year.

So anyone else planning to mod their Tremor?

?


Other than a tonnea cover and window/windshield tinting, nope.

Tired of waiting. Picking this up Tuesday.

I don't blame you ??

Been lurking here for a few weeks and just as frustrated as everyone... This will be my first truck ever, been a car guy my whole life, in fact, I just sold my low milage 2019 Shelby 350 because I'm at a point in life that I need a truck more than a garage queen. Having said that, I have a 402A in Iconic, loaded up, minus torsion and start/stop on order since 7/6. Patience is not my forte either. My wife is sick of hearing me talk about trucks. I have driven a 21 platinum, a 21 Lariet and a 21 Roush 302A. I just passed on a loaded Lariet in Lightning Blue, because the color... is not me. Comfort, having lower back issues is important, and I found the Platinum and Lariet seats had very hard leather and were not too comfortable. The Roush leather, was incredibly supple and very comfy seats. Plus it's leveled and has the Coyote V8 i wish came as an option in the Tremor. Now, I know they're just loaded up, overpriced 302A's, however, compared to what's going on with Ford's sad state of production, there's quite a few available.... now....and some places are discounting them thousands. For what I'm going to need/like in a truck, I may make compromises and forfeit my retail order and go a different way. I volley back and forth nightly... so I feel your pain.

Unless you're planning on FI for a 5.0 , you're way better off with a 3.5

Should have just saved it for 2022

my wife is tired of hearing me too! I just bought my 19 limited last September so a year later she’s like serious? I jumped the gun on my current truck and should’ve just waited to order a 21, but my limited had sat on the dealers lot for 13 months and I got it $12k under sticker, so no big regrets as I should recoup my down payment if we ever see our tremors….side note, surprised to hear your opinion on the platinum seats. I just drove one three days ago and thought they were way better than my limited.

I agree with you dude. I am completely understanding of the current market and situation due to COVID, and I know others have waited way way longer. But most of our frustrations would all be alleviated and or channeled at least with just a little bit of communication. If you keep people in the loop and they know what to expect, usually the experience with anything in life is more pleasant. And an extended delay might cause some to make a plan B but we have no clue if that’s what we should expect…

Sad but probable truth, communicating the details would probably impact investors and stakeholders in the market. I would assume the less they share the less they have to deal with on that front.

Excellent Choice. Your lucky to have found one. The one I built online came it at just a hair over 80,000. I added the diesel option the winch option and a few other options. It looks like I'm going to have dream a little longer. Please post some pics and a review

Thanks! I actually didn’t find this, I built and ordered it the first of June. I didn’t know the order window for the 150 Tremor was gonna open when it did. Ordered the 150 and the dealer kept the 250 order in for stock with me getting first option on it. Obviously, I took the option not knowing when 150 Tremor might make an appearance. Worked for me, I need a truck! Will be at dealership Tuesday to take delivery. I’ll update you.

Im about to jump on a lariat sport that got delivered to my local dealership. Based on everything we’re being told I don’t think I can wait anymore. My trade inflation is slowing dropping (which is why I’m doing this in the first place) and I highly doubt we’ll see that offset by any rebates anytime soon especially on the Tremor package.

Antimatter, I appreciate the feedback. That might be a personal, subjective opinion on engine displacement... based on individual needs... I don't need the torque curve of the 3.5 ecoboost for max tow, since I won't be towing much or long distance. Gas milage difference is negligible depending on how much/often your foot is in boost. Plus, you have cylinder deactivation on the 5.0. After driving both the 2.7 and 3.5 full hybrids, (with the on/off, on/off nature switching between modes, the lack of smoothness between transition back and forth just sucks complete ass, so settling on any Lariat or Platinum 502 or 701 with those engines is outta the question.... Which seems those all that is landing for instock vehicles around me AND I love the sound of a V8. There's a guy in my development with a Raptor and aftermarket exhaust and that 3.5 sounds like...... a 3.5 trying to be a 5.0) Coming off a Boss 302 and 2 GT350's, I'm not worrying about gas milage. I needed a truck, like, last month. I chose the Tremor because it's different you won't be tripping over 40 of them before you get to the first traffic light, because it does have off road, overland capabilities... will I use all those features and switches? Prolly not.... I will take either truck off road occasionally. I have always driven different, one-off vintage, muscle or classics... that said, The Tremor seemed like a very cool choice. I'm very leery of the 402A trim leather hot/cool seats being hard as a rock like the Platinum and the Lariat I drove. A local dealer is expecting 2 in stock within the next 2 weeks.... so they say... so if the Tremor is a raked stance nightmare, or the seats are Fred Flintstone, it'll be a Roush or a Rocky Ridge for me... As like yourself has stated, I'm getting tired of waiting, wishin' and a hopin' to move out of unscheduled clean, priority Pluto....

No, it's based on my experience on owning a 5.0, a Gen1 3.5EB (2 if you count my wife's '15 Flex) and 2 Gen2 3.5EB, a 2.7 (my son's) and a 6.2 Raptor. The 3.5 is the best engine available. I have ZERO interest in the 3.5PB. Yes it makes slightly more torque and HP but it also weighs more, has a lower payload and towing capacity and its also almost double what the 3.5EB option costs.

I've never noticed any hesitation with the start stop. It takes a few days to get use to it, but you certainly won't after 1 or 2 test drives.


If you don't plan on doing much, if any towing, you should get an F150 2.7 or a Ranger

Im getting hesitant on the trade values as well. I know some people are saying don’t worry but using KBB as my reference, I saw it go from$49k in the beginning of Covid up to over $60k now back down to 55ish. If It dips below 50 again I’m not sure I want to put that much out of pocket again…if the goal line Was in sight it would be a bit easier to gauge

isn’t the tremor limited in capacity also?

 

[Antimatter Tremor]

I don't consider a truck rated (and rather conservatively) at 10,900# towing and 1,885 payload, and only bested by the Raptor when it comes to off-road capability, limited.
