I am rushing out the door to head somewhere but wanted to pop into the forums real quick. Will watch later, but I really like how it's a woman giving the review. We need more women in the off-road audience to diversify the community, it's a fun crowd for everyone. Can't wait to take my family/kids off-roading. :inlove: Thanks for the post.

Saw this. Thought she did a more thorough review than most of the other Tremor reviews I have seen.

I did chuckle when she commented on the engine sound not sounding like any other turbo 4 she had heard before. Fords fake engine noise works!

Saw that, her review and this other one were probably the best off-road reviews out surprisingly. I suspect the earlier reviews were rushing to be first for the youtube clicks.

Another good one but left me with some questions on the hill climb

I liked that video, it really showed the limitation of the Ford automated system and showed that the truck can still do it with a little momentum. I'm looking forward to him test other trucks and see if they perform the same or not.

She's a mechanic and customizer; she's got a bunch of good vehicle reviews and a couple of project videos on her channel..

Been looking for more YT rabbit holes to jump down. Thanks for the insight John.

She is honestly one of my favorite car reviewers, she doesn't do the same nonsense that most of the other ones do. She drives them like you or I would. As for DrivingSports...I feel like his off-road reviews have gone downhill... Yeah its cool that his new land has space for consistent off-road testing, but he's too much of a Toyota fanboy to see past the badge on the vehicle...

Actually it's a Trans but still does decent reviews . The old channel which highlighted her transformation was called Sara-N-dipity .

Interesting insight, whatever gender they want to call themselves, as long as the review is good. I am good :thumbsup: Can't wait to watch all the videos posted here and maybe check out that Sara-N-dipity as well.

Yeah, I am curious how other trucks handle it after seeing the Ranger do it. I also was curious what his tire diameter on the 4runner was as well. If taller, did they dig deeper to get to hard packed or was it all Toyota tech? Was it more weight on the rear from being an SUV?

It was a great video though.

Having owned a 5th gen 4runner trail edition, I think it's weight distribution and toyota tech.

I would never spin tires where the rest of my family's in pickup would spin when their bed's were empty going to the hunting camp. The crawl control is also very good but it's so slow that I would almost never use it unless showing it as a party trick.

Interesting comparison. Kinda unfortunate the ranger TREMOR had difficulty with that course when a jeep cherokee LE and the 4runner ate that up. Wonder if its because lack of weight on the back…… either way that review may make potential ford buyers look elsewhere depending on their offroad requirements.

Also sarahNtuned is a great channel!
