Taking the Tremor Off-Road - My Experience

[nate2631]

I recently took the Tremor on its maiden voyage to Johnson Valley, CA. I was joined by my daughter (Bronco Sport) and a buddy (Bronco Wildtrack). Having previously owned a Gen 1 Raptor it was a great opportunity to compare the two trucks. I had originally planned on buying another Raptor but changed my mind with the announcement of the Tremor last year. I made that decision based on the increased towing capabilities. I used my Raptor to tow a variety of toys (boat, travel trailer, quads) and although it had the power, the suspension was just not designed for that purpose. Overall I was very impressed with the Tremor, it was just as capable as the Raptor over slow speed terrain and moving over semi-rough terrain at high speed. Where the Raptor stands above the Tremor is anything significantly rough at high speed, that remains to be "Raptor only" territory. If you are planning on doing allot of high speed off-roading stick with the Raptor, otherwise the Tremor has allot to offer with its off-road and towing capabilities.

I'm just an FX4 guy, but awesome pictures! Very cool that your daughter was sharing this with you also.

Looks awesome! That 3rd to last pic looks like it belongs in a commercial or magazine ?

Man, all those pics you posted are sick, but I’m fully expecting to see this one in a Ford ad soon, this one is awesome!

Is this road wide enough for the F150 without getting any pin striping or trail damage?

How’d the tremor hold up against the big bronco?

I could go anywhere he could with the exception of tight areas due to the length of the wheelbase. I have the Torsen.

Desert shrubs are pretty low so not really an issue

Leveling kit was installed prior to this trip.

Very cool. I was at KOH also. Crazy event.

I was thinking about a Tremor but wanted a Powerboost. So I bought an FX4 and added better tires (Yokohama g015s) and shocks (Bilstein 6120). How do you think a truck like mine would handle the terrain you mentioned? Much worse than a Tremor?
