Here's the Tremor pack in Velocity Blue and Cactus gray. Pics taken by some factory folks.

Nice, Do you know the size of the tires and is that same wheels as the stock FX4 or are those Ranger Raptor wheels?

I agree, the grey maybe white. Too much red on the blue. I plan on getting rid of my red FX4 decals next spring. Decals in general are a bit much. I guess each to his own taste, I like more subtle.

Same here, man, I blasted (with hairdryer) the "FX4" decals off my Lariat, and would do the same with any future Ford, which may be a Ranger Tremor (or Ranger Raptor). I do like the Cactus Grey and Velocity Blue as stand-alone colors on the Tremor, minus the decals, which I understand can just be deleted from the get-go with "Build & Price."

Zooming in on the picture I now see it appears that at least the side is one single decal using the cheap method of clear vinyl in between the spaces imagine if I can spot that in a photo imagine how shitty that will look in person.

Maybe I’m wrong and it’s just a protective film but I don’t think I’ve seen that on other new vehicles even during delivery that just looks like the decals you put on model cars or airplanes

Pretty sure I read somewhere they are 265/70/17. The wheels are the Raptor wheels, but painted Magnetic. The Raptor wheels are more of a satin grayish black called "Dyno Grey", which is the trim color on the Ranger Raptors. The Raptor wheels also have center caps that spell out "FORD", while the Tremor wheels have a Ford logo center cap.

Thanks for the info!!!

Short of those 80s style graphics it looks like a solid choice, maybe race red or cactus...

I wish Nissan would hurry up and intro the new Frontier so I can order the 2021 Ranger if the new Nissan doesn’t impress me. I won’t consider GMC/Chevy or Chrysler because they screwed shareholders, debtors and taxpayers with the 2008 bailout.

Nissan is in the mix because my current Frontier has been the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. 210k turned today and just routine maintenance.

Trust me the Ranger will impress you , forget any Nossan truck .

while i agree with you, brand loyalty is huge to anyone. especially when they had many years of trouble free driving that they enjoyed.
I know this as I am a Ford bred boy and always look at Fords first.

I think anyone jumping ship from brand A to B or C has a hard task ahead of them, its not hard to check boxes and find the best vehicle to fit you, the hardest part is changing your mindset and doing it objectively. No one ever takes a long enough test drive to sort that out. some people impulse buy and then we see countless threads on here where they bitch and moan about everything under the sun.

I am a Ford guy since I dumped Chevy in the 80s but my Ranger love is based on its performance . All the other positives are like the cherry on top .

What engine does the Tremor have ?

Agree , I found the Chevy dealers could not properly fix their own cars in the 80s . Always excuses ; must have been the product and it made mr. Chevy bocome Mustang Marty ( and Rangers ) . Nothing but Ford products now .

Brand loyalty is a hard thing to break from under normal circumstances. We had had three consecutive Hondas (Civic Wagon, CRV, Element), and they were all great vehicles, underpowered but economical, light, cool-looking, and durable. (For tall guys, the Element was great: I am 6 foot-three inches, and I could sit up straight and wear a hat in that thing and never come close to the roof!) I would have stayed with Honda and bought another Element, but they stopped making them after 2011. Then, in 2014, I blew out the clutch in our Element (way over 100,000 miles, so no complaint) and, as luck would have it, the rental company offered us an Explorer while the Element was getting a new clutch, which took a week or so because of parts availability issues (as you would expect from a discontinued vehicle). The first day in the Explorer, I picked up the wife at the train station after her work, she got inside and said, "I feel like a Queen in here, what is this thing?" We have been a Ford family ever since....

 

[RANGER_MARC]

Rental cars have always been my longer term test drives, and in most cases, they affirm why Im not keen on switching from a Ford.

You got that right! When my Explorer was in the shop for some transmission issues, I drove an F150 for a week, which convinced me that I had to get a truck, but maybe not such a big one....

I'm not liking the red in the decals either but like others have said if you don't really like it you can peel it off. I took off the red accented "Sport 4x4" right off of my Ranger. Same thing when I bought my new Yamaha Waverunner. Ever see how many decals are on jet skis these days? Ridiculous...

I just joined the forum a few days ago but I'm surprised by all of the comments about the graphics. On this very forum way back on September 14, someone posted the 2021 Ranger order guide and it clearly shows the "Tremor body side and hood graphic" (option 47z) as an optional feature. I wasn't a fan of these body graphics the day Ford announced the Tremor package but I LOVE the truck itself!

Further, if you go to Edmunds.com and use the build and price for the 21 Ranger, you'll see it's a $750 option. No need to fire up our hot air guns to remove anything, unless you don't want the rear of the box to say "TREMOR"!

If this info has changed, I'd love to know. Can't wait to actually see one in person.
