Ford’s current lineup of off-road vehicles is stacked. Besides the radical, revived Bronco and new Bronco Sport, the iconic F-150 Raptor has been redesigned, and a new Tremor package available on every Ford truck increases all-around capability. Both the Tremor and Raptor are designed with off-road use in mind, but for different performances and different preferences. Why would you pick one over the other? Read on to understand your choices between the Raptor and the Tremor package.
What Is the Ford Tremor Package?
Forget the F-150 Tremor FX2 and FX4 street trucks. Today’s Tremor package adds capability to with equipment that improves off-road prowess while enabling strong towing and hauling. Available on the midsize Ranger, full-size F-150, and Super Duty trucks, it’s targeted at drivers who seek to venture off the beaten path with gear loaded up in the bed or on a trailer.
The Tremor package can be chosen on several grades of each of Ford’s trucks, and, in the case of the Super Duty, with a gas or diesel V-8 engines. Regardless of powertrain, the suspension is reworked for better ground clearance, wheel travel, and body control in off-road driving. Trim-specific wheels shod in large-diameter all-terrain tires aid unpaved excursions. Locking differentials and underbody skid plates help keep things moving forward. Ford trucks with the Tremor package look the part, gaining specific styling cues as well as bumpers that enhance approach and departure angles. All of this is done with as little compromise to towing and hauling capacity as possible.
