F-150 Tremor

2014 Ford F-150 Tremor Sport Truck

Quote :

While Ford calls the Tremor a "performance truck," the new pickup doesn't play on the same level as the SVT Raptor does on dirt, or even the long-gone SVT Lightning did on pavement. Think of it as a parts bin sport truck that probably does a better job looking the part than acting it. The Tremor utilizes the same twin-turbo, 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 available across the F-150 lineup, producing 365 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque, but matches it with a 4.10 rear axle – the shortest final drive ratio you can get in an F-150 – for the strongest possible acceleration.

The Tremor does do a decent job looking the part. Available only in short-wheelbase, regular cab configuration with your choice of two- or four-wheel drive, it struts around wearing the F-150's FX Appearance Package, flat black accents, 20-inch black wheels, HID headlights and a special exterior graphics package. The Tremor is the only regular cab F-150 with a flow-through center console, which means it also gets a floor-mounted shifter and bucket seats that are covered in black leather with red piping. Some brushed metal accents and steering wheel with red stitching round out the interior upgrades.

Ford has yet to release pricing.

Sporty. Should have been lowered and with unique wheels not the off the shelf FX4 wheels.

I agree it could be lowered a bit, but I like the rims even if they're not unique. I think this would be a sweet toy, and would suit me just fine.

I would think it even with the 4:10's it would get pretty good fuel economy.  In my estimation rear end ratios don't effect fuel economy like they used to.  With the advent of multi-overdrive gears in transmissions the RPM effecting numerically high rear end ratio is less of an issue than it was 30+ years ago.

I'm keen on the seat design with the fabric in the center and the leather on the bolsters. The red accented seat stitch pipe is pretty cool as well.
