2024 Lariat vs Tremor

[adyaro77]

6.5 bed Lariat guy here. Just thought I'd chime in.
My 2021 Lariat 6.5 FX4 Bed has no Chrome BUT, 2024 may be different
Yes, the turning Radius is horrible. But, I never park with other colonists anyway.
I love love love my 6.5 bed, I don't know how to deal with a 5ft bed.
The 20" Tires on my Lariat FX4 were UNACCEPTABLE! I got new tires IMMEDIATELY!
I love all the Creature comforts on My lariat.
It makes no sense the Lariat is only $1,000 more. The Tremor must be missing something that the Lariat has.....?
I do like the looks of the Tremor

The Pirelli tires are excellent. I launch my boat in Florida with a steep incline and alge. Have had issues with tires like K02's gripping. You're the second person that has said the turning radius is horrible. A few even saying worse than the super duties. I wonder if it has something to do with tire size? I was hell bent on the 6.5 but the 5 1/2 will do.

I've yet to see a black appearance package on a 24' XLT or Lariat with a 6.5 bed. On a Platinum.
Far as turning radius you get used to it. Just always parking at back of lot.

6.5 bed with BAP is Canada-only.

The Tremor gets you upfitter switches and CAN get you a front torsen. Parts for both combined are about $2k. You can 100% install the upfitter switches, while you may want to get the torsen installed by a pro (but as has been demonstrated, that's not needed....I was deceived by dealers into getting a large dealer to do it when it can be done at home).

A gently used XLT 302A remains the best compromise between cost and creature comforts. MOST of the upper-level trim stuff that folks want is available if you want it (see my signature) on that trim level, with the big Exceptions being BlueCruise, Platty/Limited Magic Fingers setas and the Himmel und Richtofen Audiosystem; in 2024, BlueCruise and (Insert Two Northern European Last Names Here) Made in Shenzen sound system are available for the XLT. If you're willing to put in a bit of effort, a DIY version will be better than the factory version because the aftermarket parts are so much better. Consider that Katzkin makes the seats for the Lariat, and they'll sell you a set.....it is the second cheapest product they sell.

That’s important point. I didn’t think about the turning radius. I wonder how much adjustment I need to get used to. You can get black appearance package on 6.5’ Lariat

turning radius is TERRIBLE! Even with short bed!
