Love it. Traded in a 2011 Subaru Outback on it that served me well for 180k miles (bought used at 60k) but this is a step up in every way shape and form. The tech package is wonderful for long trips (my closest good friends are about 2 hours away) and the 2.3l is much peppier than I thought it'd be. Getting some liners and a bedrug shipped to me soon and should be pretty much ready to rock.

It's nice to be in a truck again. previous to the Outback, I had a 1996 Ranger (was really the family car) and then before that, 1987, 1992, and 1995 4Runners.

I looked at a SCAB FX4, and man the back seats space just wouldn't cut it. The pup's gotta have room to turn around. Very happy with the purchase.

Nice CATTLE DOG!

Holy moly. This video makes me even more impressed with the capability of this thing... I will likely be keeping four wheels on the ground myself haha.

Hi Folks,

We used to do this as part of our development....This video of a jump was pretty tame for some of the jumps we did...however...we had on full face helmets. We had many 4x4 trips where someone cracked their head on the side glass. So we changed the procedure for evaluations to requiring helmets. As 4x4 became more popular, our testing procedures had to change as well. Just an FYI...

You know what we call Motorcyclist here in Arizona where they do not have to wear helmets? We call them kidney donors. Good friend who needed a kidney as both his quit. Michigan had a helmet law. He had to switch to Ohio that did not have a helmet law...he got his new kidney from Ohio... Being a racecar driver and some of the testing accidents we had with the SCCA Test mule at the proving ground... Helmets are a necessity.

Okay...back to the flame proof bunker....

Best,

Wow crazy! Thanks for the history Phil?? I once jumped my 89 xlt long bed twice that height and landed like we landed on a mattress. Ford tough is no joke ??

I dont know how many inches that is but it looks pretty similar to other rangers I have seen. I would like to know the actual measurement too if someone has it.

Almost same rake as mine. Still stock.

Any Tremor owners know if the red sections on the grill are removable?

 

[Bt_ostate]

Hello fellow Tremor owners.
For those with a Lariat model, did yours come with an engine cover?
Mine did not.
I’ve seen threads that stated XL and XLT’s do not but Lariats do.
I’m wondering if this changed for the 2021 models and/or Tremor packages.

It does not anymore. You'll have to order one as an accessory. They are available

I did measure mine last night and I got 39.125" in the rear and 36.875" in the front. So a 2.25" difference.

Hey Samsquanch.

Thanks - I really like it so far, and think it looks sharp too.

The paint colour is call "conquer grey" - it is Fords version of nardo grey. It use to be a Raptor only colour, but now it is on the "special edition" FX4 Max.

I am in the process of vinyl wrapping it, the new colour is a bit more subdued and losses a little of its pop ? - but will protect it from tree pin striping off road ?.

The car is famously designed in Australia - built in Thailand. We couldn't manufacture a bicycle over here, let alone a whole car. You will notice different bonnet, front bar, tailgate and no sliding rear window (which I love the idea of).

I am interested if anyone has used their upfitter aux circuits yet.... What are you planning on using on them?

I know I can be a buzz kill sometimes when it comes to body, but be advised a wrap will not preserve or really protect a vehicle finish at all. Dirt and grime will get in around the edges and ruin the factory finish in a mater of a few years. Just fyi.

anybody wire up an upfitter switch yet?

anybody wire up an upfitter switch yet?

This is Ford Australia’s official response for information on upfitter switches.

”Diagram or work instruction for the correct wiring of accessories to the up-fitter switches is available to Trade customers only and not available for general public.”

The local dealer workshop manager let me flick through the wiring diagrams and I found these diagrams. Sorry, but photos were the best I could do, these are for the Australian upfitter switches.

Hey friends, what could be an equivalent for our Tremors since we have the auxiliary switches control panel?

BuiltRight Industries dash mount

Does anyone have a good photo of the Tremor rear shocks?

I recall reading they are supposed to be Fox 2.5s but have never seen a clear photo of one. Also curious if they have a cover/boot.

Thanks!
