That tremor decal in the back is the most crooked one I have seen yet.

Well after reading all of this...I am bummed. Ordered my Cactus Grey Lariat Tremor, November 8 2021 and all I have is a VIN!!!! My local / national - left / right, conspiracy network says US customers get preference over us poor Canucks!!! That's 3 months and 15 days!!!

Hang in there. Ordered mine mid-May, arrived in Edmonton late-July.
If you want, you can come over and sit in it. I’ll even let you pay for the next round of accessories. There is an extensive background check and interview process before I let you “wrench on it”. We can discuss that if you feel up for it.

Congrats on the Tremor. Hopefully its something minor. Keep us updated what the results are.
Welcome to the forums glad to have you aboard.
Oh did you get hood struts or the crappy prop rod?

Thanks I appreciate it. I've been lurking here for a while trying to learn as much as I can about these trucks. The service dept said my issue is the turbo waste gate and they will be replacing it. Im not sure exactly what that means as I am new to the turbo, but I will get more info tomorrow when I pick it up. He mentioned that they had a new bronco in there for the exact same thing. Might be a faulty part batch or something.
As for the hood, I believe it has the struts. I cannot remember for sure as I looked under the hood one time but, it seems I dont recall fiddling with the old school prop rod. I'll find out for sure tomorrow.

I didn't notice but I believe your correct! It must have been beer:30 that day for the sticker placer guy at the plant. I might have to find some replacements and redo them or just scrap them.

Awesome looking truck. I tried to get the tremor in this cactus gray color. I think it looks great, but the carbonized gray was my runner up choice and available on the lot.

Would be interesting if your paperwork they give you list’s any part numbers for what was replaced. Or if they show you the failed part. Or both ?

I almost ordered carbonized as that was my colour of choice for the Bronco. Great trucks either way!

Figured best place to mention this thought, so while the new Ranger Raptor is totally awesome, I am still super happy with the Tremor and don't feel like I am missing out at all. I do want the Ford 91 tune eventually but otherwise the truck is so solid out of the box.

I do wish I could afford the long travel APG kit though lol I feel like I want that more than a new Ranger Raptor when they come out.

If interior space was meaningfully larger on the new Ranger, that is probably the only thing that would have made my interest peak on upgrading. Wife hates road trips in the Ranger when towing compared to our '16 Honda Pilot....and the '21 F250 we rented once.

APG, my thoughts as well, only thing the raptor has that i'd want is the engine, if its the turbo 6. Other than that...man, we gotta figure out a way to get that APG kit. I have thought about selling the Tremor, pick up a XLT fx4 and APG it. Haven't run those numbers yet.

I saw my first ever Tremor yesterday in the wild (Other than mine) at Costco. The owner and I chatted for a minute.

Pretty much everyone has a truck here, but the mid-size trucks are typically Tacomas, with a few Gladiators sprinkled in.

The amount of Raptors and TRXs is insane. I

Update on my 2022: Service department changed the turbo waste gate, but truck was still showing the same malfunction. Now they are going to replace the entire turbo. I might see my truck by wed or thur next week. I am shocked to have a turbo needing replacement on a brand new truck.
Ive only driven it home from the dealership, and then to another dealers service department. I think it has 160 miles on it currently. Anyone seen this before?

Also they told me they didn't have any loaner vehicles which is crazy. Hopefully I can speak with the service manager monday and see if they can help me out.

They did mention that while the kits wont be on active production, they will still be able to make them in the future with added lead times and added cost. Which at least gives me some peace of mind in a way lol.

I was curious what labor is but since I don't have the +$20k to burn I did not press them too much. Their generic answer was it really depends on how deep into the kit you get. Asked the Nemesis youtuber about it and I got the run around on labor prices too.

The good news is that I honestly think the truck is pretty awesome as is. The times I opened it up on smooth'ish trails, it really impressed me. It is my daily and my tow vehicle so I don't want to push it too much either, the APG kit would get me in trouble lol

Did the leveling kit, exhaust, catch cans, and TGD today. Have the raptor grill lights tomorrow and an alignment then she’s pretty set

I think since the Tremor came out I have only seen 3 in the wild. 1 being in Utah and 2 in Vegas. I swear I see more Raptors than Rangers in general. A couple of TRX too. Man the presence they carry on the road.

Ordered 2/13 and waiting with just the order confirmation email...
