Ford Super Duty Tremor First Drive: Go Anywhere

Litchfield, AZ - At the launch of the next-generation 2020 Ford Super Duty, an event we attended in mid-January, Ford also brought along models of the HD truck fitted with the Tremor off-road package.  

The Tremor name is not new to Ford. Recall that in 2014, it was used with the previous generation of the Ford F-150. At the time, it was used to designate a somewhat sporty version with various interior and exterior modifications. This time, we're talking about an off-road package worthy of the name, available as an option with the new F-250 and F-350.

Ford describes the F-350 Tremor as "the best performing off-road system in the history of the Super Duty model”. Kudos to Ford moreover for making the package available on four of the six variants, specifically the XLT, Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum. Only the entry-level XL model and the Limited trim package are not eligible.

And what's the Tremor all about? We’ll start with the highlights of what's on offer, point by point, before we get into how it translates when you go off the beaten track.

The technical details
The Tremor package includes a number of modifications made to the model, whether it's the 250 or 350 series, that ensure a big boost for some of the vehicle’s capabilities of the vehicle.
