Drove a Lariat Tremor Today

[bentroia]

My local dealer called to let me know they had a Lariat Tremor in stock.. I went to take a look/drive before delivery of mine scheduled for May.

Initial reaction.. The look is unique for OEM.. formidable, muscular, capable, and stout. The wheels, 32 inch tires, suspension, and flares give it a much more agressive off road look The tread is deeper with wider voids than many ATs. The fender flares are very noticable. The stance looks ready to go get the job done.

The drive was smooth compliant and controlled. I hit a speed bump at about 6 mph. The front and rear suspension response felt nearly identical, firm but compliant. No bone jarring rebound. Swerving back and forth on pavement at about 30 mph was controlled and fun. Moderate acceleration caused the tires to scrub nearly braking loose on 70 degree dry pavement.

This thing is fun to drive, balanced both in looks and drivability.

Ive owned a few trucks and cherokees, modified and stock. I dont think the Tremor Ranger will need anything signifant to make it a great all around recreation vehicle, workhorse, and comfy passenger shuttle.

Thanks for sharing these.

Do those tires have ice stud holes ?

Hope we could purchase the fender flares aftermarket.

The Tremor looks to have a stack of leaf springs compared to the parabolic spring.

I can hardly wait for mine to arrive!

Thank you for the review. Why no picture of the rear tow hooks attachment? This is heavily requested on another thread. I would also be quite interested to see the angles of the CVs, given it has a bit of a lift.

Looks to have good features.

you can always go check out one at your local dealer. ?‍

Based on their profile it says they're in Romania so odds are the Tremor doesn't exist there lol

Exactly! There is the Thunder version, which is purely cosmetic and Raptor which is a lot different. Australians get the FX4Max which I believe is close to Tremor. I have not heard of anything new in Europe.

It has the tow package which deletes rear tow hooks.

The CVs had only a slight angle, est < 12 degrees.

Thank you. Yet, it should be much less IMHO for a 20mm lift, compared to perfect flat in the standard version.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I am definitely thinking very hard about getting a Lariat Tremor when the time comes to replace my 2019 4XF Lariat. (Silly me, I thought that by splurging on a 4XF Lariat, I would be spending all the money upfront and not have pay any more on aftermarket modification!) But it really looks like with the Tremor Ford has put in the necessary mods in advance! Hope you will send us some more pictures and reviews once you actually take delivery and can spend some serious time with the vehicle under different conditions!

It will be interesting once folks start fitting these to their standard Rangers. Wonder how much they will cost, and how plug and play they will be with our trucks.
