The New Ford F-150 Tremor Takes On The World's Toughest Towing Test - Here's How It Scores! 

Man me to. It's what got me into TFL and frankly I wish we would see more of this content

You should probably learn how to reply back to your Subscribers!

Thanks

It’s Mr. Truck to you 😉

The Tremor certainly would be the more practical rig for the most people.

Absolutely. Tremor would be amazing. Personally, I would only buy the raptor if I planned on doing some shit with it.

How much

How much? My dealer texted me This morning saying one showed up this morning and they want $71,000 for it.

Still waiting on mine. Glad you like yours

How is the fuel economy

Tug Score

100% agree, kinda like what throttle house does with their track times and so you can see it compared to all other trucks

Agreed

FACTS

Yup

Yeah I think the 10 speed at a 3.31 might give better gearing than the old 6 w/ 3.73s. But people still gravitate to the more aggressive rear end because OEMs keep bumping up their towing #s higher and higher.

Thanks

Visibility yes, but I greatly prefer the longest wheel base possible for towing stability. 🙂

Longer wheel base, less sway, less tow capacity. Shorter wheel base, more tow capacity, better maneuverability.

short boxes are for middle age baseball dads a longer wheelbase handles the load much better especially when if comes to those f150s where the trailer pretty much tows the truck

I've been saying this for years. You can have a 3.55 or 4.10. With the 3.55 you can tow in 8th gear and have good mpg unloaded. The 4.10 you can tow in tenth but the mpg suffers unloaded.

@@VARITHMS and they test at highway speeds….. it’s disappointing as TFL gets so much right.

Thanks so much

You will love this bro ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iu2GQdTpIBE.html

Yes that’s no kidding. Years ago I blew through a red light half way down a hill that changed in me and I was totally unable to stop and that was with 7,000 pounds in the bed on a 1 ton Chevy with good brakes and tires. While it easily hauled the weight it would not even come close to stopping for me so we started hauling less weight.

@@captainamer71You had problems stopping with 7k???!! I would have expected you to say in a Colorado…. But you go on to say a 1 ton?? What happened?

Yeah, we had to use duck tape a few times

You will absolutely live it. I bought a 401a Tremor 3 weeks ago (lucked out having a local dealer have 2 in stock- but yes it was over msrp…) It’s the best all-around truck I’ve owned. 1699 lbs of payload, comfortable ride and enough offroad capability for more than most peoples needs. The wait will be worth it!

I also ordered a 2021 back in June here in Canada fully loaded with every option. Was told by dealer last week that it will no longer be a 2021 as Ford has made all 2021 orders into 2022 models and I prob won't see it till March 2022 earliest ... So frustrating.

I'm in Ontario and was told 4-5 months, so hopefully March/April. At least it will save it a season of driving salty slushy roads.

@@Sean-oq3ox I'm in Ontario as well, mind if I ask where you ordered and with what options?

I'm in Peterborough, but ordered through Uxbridge Ford. I ordered a Tremor 401a package with dealer installed leather seats, 8 speaker b&o sounds system and levelling kit.

To be fair though this is a speed limited endeavor. Also fuel consumption appears to be greater Despite that lower capacity, and low rpm may not be beneficial even if it has power available.

It's not a race, the TRX held the speed limit with ease.

@@tumbleweedking5668 And so did the Tremor, your comment is pointless, AS I SAID, the Tremor did it in the same time, used the same amount of fuel, BUT is only a 400hp engine, giving away a WHOLE EcoBoost 2.7 twin turbo engine's worth of displacement. Give this motor some REAL credit mate !!

It did it sure, but not as efficient. At least it didn’t overheat this time with the elevation and turbos like the other time.

@@arkhsm what do you mean by used the same amount of fuel? There was a substantial difference between the two right?

Thanks, I was wondering

Me too but my only complaint :( is the engine, not having the High Output 3.5 which has better internal parts and better performing turbos

Narrower than the Raptor actually means it can squeeze through tighter trails that the Raptor's width wouldn't allow !!

My latest project truck is a 1994 with 5.2L. As soon as Ruben rebuilds my transmission, I'll talk Andre into something

Get use to it. It’s build back better on steroids.

@@smarticus6384 yup.

Tundra TRD Pro will be a must. I know it has the hybrid, so a bit of an apple to oranges compared to this Tremor, but may help change Fords tune to put the Powerboost in there to compete.

Thanks

I appreciate that

Interesting!!

That would add another element of wind and truck stability too

This is why I wish Ford kept making the F250 Tremor in the XLT level. But I’m guessing that’s why they stopped. It’s over $70k for a F250 Tremor with the diesel and a few options that compare with the $68k F150. But for a few thousand lots of people will compare them.

Agreed. Coasting downhill is a measure of gravity, wind resistance and internal friction. I don’t understand why they continue to count break applications. Even more an issue with a diesel with engine breaking.

because adaptive cruise equipped trucks use their brakes until they over heat and then suddenly shut off. it isn't coasting, its using the engine as an air pump to slow the combo. finally, you aren't supposed to tow with cruise control in teh mountains as stated in the manuals even in 2021.

Thanks

Thanks

Thanks

It really is. I love the leveled stance.

Looks like the ugly gm trucks in the front. I'll pass.

@@jacobstrutner8232Glad you let us know.

Don't worry. V8's ain't going away. Weight is weight. The energy needed to move said weight doesn't change. All this v6 turbo/electrification stressed drive train bs will eventually show its weakness when it comes to reliability and longevity.

I really like my Coyote powered F-150. Not as much raw power as the 3.5 but very smooth and still plenty for my towing/hauling needs. Plus if I ever want the ability to add power is always there due to the huge aftermarket, but I do prefer to keep things with how the OE designed it for maximum longevity. I personally think V8s will slowly disappear in this segment at least. For heavy duties though who knows, we’ll see what the electrification front brings and if battery tech will ever make that truly viable for the general public.

@@Welcometofacsistube I hope you are right about the V8. Here in Europe you’re almost a terrorist when driving a big engine…if you can buy one! V8’s are rare here, the v6 is rare too. Medium sized cars are equipe with a 3 cylinder engine these days and Diesel engines are dropped by most manufacturers due too the vw dieselgate. A mustang gt V8 costs 110.000 euro!!! due to co2 regulations. I live in the Netherlands; only a business owner can drive full size pickup truck cause they have company car regulations. A private person would pay double or triplle the costs. Electric cars are coming fast…even Mercedes is dropping the V8 in their c class AMG! It’s getting worse by the day for petrol lovers..

F-150 Tremor is in it's 3rd year now. There's also the F-250 Tremor, Ranger Tremor and Maverick Tremor. All seem to be in high demand. I think it will be around for a while. There is a Tremor forum.

Thanks, I'll get to drive the heavy duties

Thanks

Looks ugly and copied gm truck. Regular f150 looks nothing like this

@@jacobstrutner8232 It literally has nothing in common with GM truck styling...

Thanks

Because it stopped to overheat 🤣

@@freedomisntfree_44 That was the Chevy video and I remember the video where the Ford went into limp mode

@@gbaby4rb64 the trx did when they tested the silver trx

When towing eco boosts are no better. Rev at a higher rpm to achieve power, V8’s not so much. Everyday driving not so much. Eco is better on fuel. My brothers Ford eco got the same mileage as my 6 L GM and we both towed fifth wheels. He was revenge higher.

@@ramrider1453 clear you’ve never driven an ecoboost, show me another half ton that runs 2800 rpm running up that hill… I’ll wait. That’s what the ecoboost is KNOWN for is low rpm high torque. They say that a lot on this channel as well.

They test all vehicles the same and some can’t maintain 60 and the cruise disengages so they don’t use CC for any tests.

Well that’s kind of right. The blue oval has been around a long time, but wasn’t the first Ford emblem and the shape of the oval and font used to spell Ford has changed many times over the years

Because it was a super Ike (fully loaded) with the TRX.

@@TFLtruck Yet achieved better fuel mileage...

@@shadowwolfmandan because the computer won't show less than 4.7 mpg on the TRX.

Trust me. Most people in America that buy these trucks don’t have anything to tow either🤣

You think they’re not aware of those?

Ford made a mistake discontinue the 3.0L Powerstroke. At almost 85k miles it still runs like new including towing.

May consider the RAM and GM twins if you want a diesel 6 and or a v8 option (despite the cylinder deactivation) for a majority of trims. The 2022 GMC to me is equally equipped to the top trims of Ford and RAM minus panoroof.

If your truck is that far down on power and economy than it's broke and you should take it to a mechanic. I have the same year with 70k miles and I live in the mountains with no issues. I'm also a mechanic. What does your maintenance history look like?

@@mmholling87 Yeah he's either lying or there's a problem. Ecos are built strong and will last long time in trucks.

I agree. It’s because neither one of them try and talk over the other. Roman has a tendency to talk over everyone he’s with. I’ve meet Andre before, very nice down to earth guy. And Kent(Mr.Truck) would be awesome to have a beer with and talk trucks!

@@GreenMountain565 damn right you are would love to meet them all

@@kingshawn1857 Which one is the son?

@@MrTruckTV you are the son Andre is the all knowing father and king of the Ike gauntlet lol😂😂

@@kingshawn1857 OK, I think

Tremor only comes with the 3.5

​​​​@@12pawsinn maybe then but at least for 2023 The V8 is standard on tremor. The 3.5L turbo v6 is optional. The one in this video is a turbo v6

Maybe a taller rearend gearing would allow downshifting to second gear at 50mph.
