The Blue Oval company has decided to bring the all-new 2021 F-150 to off-road Tremor standards, which bodes well for the U.S. lineup since the smaller Ranger was also recently treated to a Tremor Off-Road Package. Oddly enough, it's not the first time the full-size pickup truck gets the Tremor name. That happened a few years ago for a sportier, on-road truck derivative.
Few people will probably remember the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor since the company quickly retired it after just a few short months of availability. Now, it’s time for a resurrection, one that’s particularly focused on off-roading credentials, just like that recently reinvented Bronco we’re all eagerly awaiting.
The all-new F-150 Tremor has been developed to combine “outstanding towing and payload capacity with greater off-road prowess,” with the company calling it the rugged 4x4 that’s good for both “work and recreation.”
Now, the company has a range of Tremor models – the Ranger, the F-150, and the Super Duty. For the latest incarnation, the popular F-150 Tremor is getting a lot of upgrades, from suspension and driveline to Raptor-inspired off-road elements and even a front Torsen limited-slip differential.
There will be three versions of the F-150 Tremor, all of them delivering a step up in terms of off-roading prowess compared to the FX4 package. The new version is offered in a Super Crew/5.5-foot (1,674 mm) box configuration, with the standard all-wheel-drive system linked to the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 engine through the company’s 10-speed automatic transmission.
New elements include the uprated suspension with Tremor-specific shocks front and back, 33-inch General Grabber all-terrain tires wrapped around exclusive 18-inch matte wheels, along with a “Raptor-style bash plate.”
All modifications pave the way for an approach angle of 27.6 degrees, breakover angle of 21.2 degrees, and departure angle of 24.3 degrees, while suspension travel has been enhanced by an inch (25 mm) up front and 1.5 inches (38 mm) at the rear.
Signature elements, such as the Active Orange color, haven’t been forgotten – along with the work and fun capabilities. As such, Ford touts beefy ratings: 1,885 pounds (855 kg) for maximum payload, along with 10,900 pounds (4,944 kg) for conventional towing.
Pricing specifics have not been released, but that's not a surprise considering the summer 2021 release date – Ford will certainly announce them closer to the actual arrival in dealerships.
