#Ford #Tremor #FX4 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Andre is brave like bull! Hope TFL helps pay for some damages, using your own truck to make great content! Guys….never lose that.
Andre is the gift that keeps giving. He's come a long way since checking the brake Temps in Russian. Its always a nail bitter when Andre us behind the wheel. But I love his balls and overall joy of being in the car industry.
@@jaimealvarez4722 I love his balls too!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@jaimealvarez4722 a gift that keeps on giving, are you trying to say he is herpes? I'm not going to touch the loving his balls...😏
I personally think he’s about the worst off-road. He just doesn’t know what lines to take. I still love his attitude and enjoy watching him.
Well at least with scratches on an aluminum panel you’ll never have to really worry about rust forming. Thanks for taking one for the team Andre!
It's a battle scar. It's good that it won't rust.
@@TFLoffroad looks like it did not brake the paint,
You might be able to wet sanded and buff it and make it look like it never happen 👍🙂
You should see my 2017....its got a billion scratches and I love it. Not a hint of rust.
Man.. that tremor is a beautiful truck
Sweet very sweet
Even tho I spotted some rust :(
Ep 1638 Is Ford Working With George Soros | The Dan Bongino Show®️
@@mr.nickivey537 ha! Its a ford 🤪🤷🏼♂️. Still, i ordered one and will just coat it i guess 🙄🤦🏼♂️
I like it because its plenty off road capable for me, but it can also tow up to 14k lbs under with 1800lbs of payload for specific configuration.I think the normal tow capacity with full options is 12lbs with 1600lbs of payload, but that still way more than the Raptor.
I’m thankful Nathan is finally being in more videos. He’s kinda been getting the short end of the stick lately. And Ik life isn’t always the way we want it, but I’m glad he’s in a few more videos now. When he said “Andre’s not here to stop me!”😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Nathan and Tommy are my favorites.
I'll never forgive him for defending CVTs.
Love tfl off road videos
@@ericl1166 Americans don't buy manuals so you get CVTs. In my country the Toyota Yaris and Corolla are only available with a manual transmission or as a hybrid.
That's why you plop a piece (or two) of heavy duty cardboard in your back seat as you are heading out the door. Get in a situation like with that tree? Take and slip the cardboard between your truck and the tree, and let the side of your rig rub on it instead of the bark of that puny pine tree. Paint saved!
Not the paint you’re normally worried about, it’s slamming into it and denting it
@@10thclimbtovictorystevens65 yea, this trick wasn’t saving my GX when I did this over the summer 😅
I would rather stick with duct tape or other "heavy duty" plastic foils. They should fare quite well to protect the paint from scratching.
If you worry about scratches, don't offroad
@@bendino9016 Exactly. Or get some "Rhino Hide".
5:42 that anti matter blue on that tremor is insane
I've spent decades taking 4WD vehicles up narrow Rocky Mountain trails. The simple rule about trail damage is this: if you take a full-size pickup, no matter how good it is, on these trails often enough, you WILL get trail damage. So, if you don't want your $50K+ brand new truck to get trail damage, then stay off of narrow mountain trails. If you wonder why a lot of 4-wheelers have old "beater" 4WD pickups for this kind of use, now you know why.
@Chano Leyva he did say old beat up 4x4.
Exactly right!! I don't know where common sense has gone but it's definitely less evident these days.
We need an off-road round-up of the trucks most of us buy. Call it the "No mall crawler shootout"
Ford F-150 Tremor
Chevy Trailboss
Nissan Titan Pro-4x
Ram Rebel
Toyota Tundra TRD Pro
GMC Sierra AT4
Just the Tremor, ZR2, and the new TRD pro. Hopefully RAM will make a competitor with the 392.
@@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080 Wat. That list first of all is talking full sized. Secondly its a very appropriate list. Thirdly, Ram Rebel was doing Tremor before the Tremor was a pipe dream. You should thank RAM for driving competition (2000's Ranger Tremor was a joke). Edit: Clarified 2000's Ranger, not current model.
@@dfdorsey85 Rebel is an FX-4 competitor and not a very good one at that. Just look at the sales numbers. FX-4 came out in 2002, and it took Dodge/Ram 14 years to make a competitor with a horrible approach angle.
The TREMOR is a new level. These are specialty trucks with BIG POWER, 2 Lockers, and off road programming. It's competitors are the 2022 Chevy ZR2, and possibly the 2022 Toyota TRD-Pro which in Toyota fashion is replacing the front locker with brake force traction control.
When RAM builds a Rebel with the 392, their good rear axle, and a front locker (if the front end is strong enough to handle one), that would compete with the TREMOR.
Keep in mind RAM, Jeep, and Toyota are being sued by Land Rover for patent infringement over the use of their Hill Decent Control, brake Traction Control, and Terrain Modes. Ford is not being sued because they co-own the patents are are in no fear of losing the technology moving forward.
@@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080 The FX4, Z71, and Ram 4x4 Off-Road (Warlock) are in the same class. The Rebel, Trailboss, Tremor, Pro4x, and TRD PRO are in the same class. That is the competition price points for these builds. Tremor is nothing special. It's a Raptor light, with less credentials, and an almost same sticker price. Same as Rebel vs TRX. They have locker(s). They have off-road electronics. They have lifts. They have Skids. They are marketed as Off-Roaders.
The ZR2 competes with Gladiator Rubicon and maybe Ranger Tremor. ZR2 = Jeep Gladiator. A Lot of a size difference between it and Tremor. (Personally I'd take a ZR2 for serious off roading vs Tremor for its smaller size/footprint).
Your comment of Tremor being a new level really makes you sound biased towards Ford. That's fine, everyone has their favorites. I see nothing special over what Andre could do for cheaper with his rig and a few $$$ in upgrades.
Then a midsize shootout...
Last time I was this early Andre only spoke Russian.
I would have removed the air dam before going on that trail
Let's take a moment to thank Andre for putting his own personal truck on the line for our curiosity and entertainment. Awesome video as usual and looking forward to the next one. 👍
Andre you need to get some off road tires.
Love it when Nathan and Andre team up. For nearly 10 years I’ve been watching your show. You guys are my favorite.
Nathan’s commentary is why he’s my favorite. Andre, put a stage 5 icon lift on your fx4 with some 33s and you can go where the tremor went.
That front Torsten diff is really helpful
Real AT tires would probably have made a huge difference.
$6500 later
2 inches lift and 33's
@@supernova8715 33x12.50r20 mud tires big diferent
Andre just needs a 2.5 inch leveling kit and some KO2's and he'll have a very capable truck
That's exactly what I did.
@@courtmcnab5913 on my 2014 F150 Ecoboost I did a 6.5 inch Mcgaughy lift, a Banks ram air cold air intake, a 5 star tune, 35 inch KO2's and a Pypes exhaust and a Raptor grill and fender flares. I love this truck and it's a blast to drive
@@truckertoddllc how is the 5* tune, did you get the preloaded or the custom one?
I am thinking of tunning my truck.
Any recommendations?
@@magician4444able I love it. I did the custom tunes. I did a couple of e performance tunes at different octane levels, a couple of towing tunes at different octane levels and an 89 octane eco tune.
@@truckertoddllc thanks 🙏 man
I would be interested to see wheat the fx4 powerboost can do with a $250 leveling kit and some slightly bigger all terrain tires. Might be an investment/content worth making especially considering tremor/raptor "availability" and markups compared to other f150 fx4 models
Great video gentleman. Hopefully your wife goes easy on you.
That Tremor kicked butt. In the words of your leader." Everything you need, nothing you don't".
Great video - I've had my Tremor for about 2 weeks (401a + couple extra options.. 60K) - I was clenching almost the whole time. That'll buff right out, Andre!
I have been waiting for some prices! Trying to decide if it's worth it. I've owned a couple of new F150s now, and my go-to has always been the STX 4x4 (sub-40k for crewcab both times), then straight to tire shop for $800 2" lift front and rear, $1200 for new tires, with some wheel spacers to help with the stance. After removing the front air valance, I'm all in for around $40k TOTAL for a brand new F150 that looks almost exactly like the Tremor (and I got to pick my own tires). Just not sure that extra $20k is worth the seat stitching and Torsen axle....does look good for a factory rig for sure, but is it the honest consensus that the Tremor is far more capable in average offroad situations than your standard 4x4 with the above mentioned mods? (I also have the electronic rear locker which was pennies on the option sheet, so a no-brainer). I was hoping the Tremor upcharge would be more in the 1 thousands, not tens of thousands. A little disappointed....
@@peruser155 In your case it definitely doesn't sound worth it. I was looking for a XLT with 302a at the time. It you add the 3.5 and similar options it's about $3K more for the Tremor. I wasn't planning on spending that much and originally was looking at a Ranger Tremor. I guess you can say I'm at a point in my life where I needed to treat myself.. Good luck!
@@edm3184 Yes I agree, you are getting much more than just the Tremor content with the higher, upscale trims. And the upgraded motor (mine have always been the 2.7 which have been awesome, but I have heard great things about the bigger version). My comment mostly referred to someone who wants the "base" trim and then wants to simply add Tremor content from Ford instead of spending all day at the tire shop, and was hoping for comparable costs, to my dismay. Your Tremor sounds awesome...hope I can get the higher trims someday (I want that full panel sunroof!) Congrats on your purchase and you are so right about reward; life is short.
Would be interesting to see the Ram Rebel in comparison to the Tremor.
The F-150 Tremor has a much better approach angle, to the tune of nearly 8 degrees, a better breakover angle to the tune of about 2 degrees, while the Ram Rebel has a slightly better departure angle to the tune of about one-half of a degree. Don't really see it being much of a match with the F-150 Tremor's approach being almost 28 degrees while the Ram Rebel's is 19 degrees flat.
Rebel is an FX-4 competitor. NOT a Tremor competitor.
@@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080 hopefully, the Rebels are crazy expensive right now, hopefully the tremor drops the price on the rebels. Rebel here I come.
Trail boss comparison would be interesting as well.
@@milehighmaniac100 i bet the trail boss hangs with tremor no problem
Andre!!! Do videos with your truck that won't damage it. Thanks for showing us what it's capable of though. Great video
Nah he just needs someone to sponsor his rig so he can really get it going
The Tremor looks stunning!!!
The V6 doesn't sound too bad
Sorry, All V6s sound like shit
Put a V8 in it!
Doesn't have to sound good to be a bad ass😎 3.5 FTW!!
@@deansapp4635 I like a decent V6 but nothing like a V8.
I wonder if they made a updated v8 tho like much fuel efficient and more power probably a 4.5L v8 with one turbo
Great video guys , Andre is crazy taking his own truck up there! Also enjoyed Nathan’s jacket he pulled out of the closet and hasn’t worn since that 1988 Motley Crue concert
Probably my favorite video you've done! This is exactly how us common folk that only have 1 vehicle are using our trucks! Sometimes even a modest trail just surprises you. The only difference is most put some tires and a leveling kit on the 1st week we get it... otherwise, welcome to our life! :)
Also, I really appreciate Nathan giving the perspective of how our driving instincts work with these new systems. That is super helpful, bc some of us wonder the same things about our driving techniques with these systems, but you can't try these features on a trail b4 you buy. Thanks for a great video! Subscribed!
Andre you are my spirit animal. Don’t ever change
Hes drunk
Wow, that Tremor is absolutely beautiful! I love that Anti Matter Blue, it looks so good. Plus what ever they did to that exhaust, it doesn't sound half bad. And holy smokes is it capable dang. I may have found my new favorite F 150 package.
I have a 2016 FX4 F-150 with a level and 33s and could easily follow that Tremor. In owners manual it states to remove the air dam before off-reading or driving in deep snow, not sure why Andre did not do that, it’s only like 6 small bolts. Tremor is a pretty bad ass truck.
Almost fell off my chair with the "Vaya con Dios..." hilarious.
even though he didn't go through with all of the trail no doubt in my mind it would do it it did pretty damn good with being just a base model impressed bro
A base model FX4 has all the off road goodies as a Platinum FX4. Literally would’ve made zero difference if it had more options.
Pretty sure he’s referring to the off road options, my dude.
@@StephenRichardsX read comment again… so am I, I literally said that. what off road options does a Platimum FX4 have that Andres FX4 doesnt?
@@jabroni6199 more automated stuff like in the tremor. At least that’s what I think.
@@captaintf7759 that’s a negative. There’s no extra off road related automation.
Great video! Will you make a comparison video of the Expedition FX4 with the new expedition Timberline? I would love to see if they are as different as the Tremor and FX4 F150s are.
Andre,
Its 2 yrs later since your comparison of the Fx4 vs Tremor. But heres my feedback on the Fx4 setup.
I have a 2021 XLT 3.5 ecoboost Fx4. The OEM suspension setup is the problem. I replaced the OEM front and back shocks and the UCAs. I installed the Fox 2.5 Performance Elite Coilovers with DSM reservoirs for the front and rear shocks. It gave the front end a 2.5” lift. I also replaced the oem UCAs with the BDS performance UCAs. I also replaced the OEM tires with the Falken Wildpeak AT3 all terrain 33” tires. Travel is much improved when off-roading and light to moderate rock climbing. Now the truck is setup for true off-roading and some rock climbing too. This setup is competitive with a base Tremor, or better.
Man I love that Tremor. That's my next F150. My 2015 has served me well at 313 km but that Tremor is just sweet!
Absolutely!
😂🤣 Nathan "Vaya con Dios Cabron" 🤣😂 Epic! 🙌👋🔥
Lmao did he really just say that? 🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂
@@fernandobriseno8164 😂🤣
Ford needs to build this Tremor Trim in a RCSB (regular cab standard bed/122" wheel base/shorty) like my truck.
@FABULOUS OFF ROAD DESIGNS - You are absolutely correct.
I don’t think they will it no offence doesnt look to good when a truck isn’t a full size
@@Rohit0Singh 😂a regular cab shortbed is a full-size truck, as the f150 in all configurations is!
I'm sure they'll make this for the literally 100 people that want one and the 40 that have the money lol
@@KIDRR nailed it.
Great video!!! Your a brave man Andre!!! Good to see you Nathan!!!
Have'nt done my homework yet because I'm working on my work truck but, definitly will look into fitting the frontend lockers on my project 2016 fx4 5.0.
Need more reviews from Nathan! I like this duo too, they should do more car reviews.
Excellent video! Nice to see how far manufacturers have come with their off road offerings. Now bring on a Trail Boss vs Tremor comparison!!!
I'd be neat if someone could sponsor Andre so he can build his FX4 up to where it's more comparable to the tremor and see if he can get the same performance for more or less money with aftermarket parts
He could easily be at Tremor level for less than $2000. Tires, 2" lift front and rear, and even have some left over for moderate wheel spacers for that "look." Only thing really missing would be the front locker, and I didn't see any content in this video that would warrant that, compared to the electronic rear locker option available on ALL F150 trims. $2k Andre! Would be money well spent. It's exactly the first thing I do with my base crewcabs.
Showing LOVE for the channel thank you for another great video once again. Have a Blessed day everyone
Awesome!! Awesome!! I just placed an order for one at a MN Ford dealer. Got it at invoice. 2022 F150 Tremor 401A package w/front Torsen. Can't wait. Ill trade in the 2019 2.7
Well done, Andre and Nathan. Andre, you now have some battles scars on your truck, so it is truly broken in! I think Andre should try a beefier tire on his truck, and compare how much the ride quality, or MPG's are affected by it. It could also be fun to swap out those dim halogen bulbs with some really nice LED headlights from Headlight Revolution or 4x4truckled.
like to see an f250 tremor vs f150 tremor offroad on that course. nice video guys!
I get what Nathan is saying, when the car makes everything so easy it does take away from the nervousness that gives you that adrenaline kick. You gotta feel a little bit like you’re in danger.
pahaha tell that to Andre, he seems way more nervous with adrenaline that his personal truck will be all f'up.
Very nice video. You guys work well together. Times like this I am glad I drive a JK Recon 6spd. No problems :). I do dig that Tremor package.
Note: you can fit any stock 4x4 f-150 from 2004 up with 275/70 18s which is a true 33" tire (33.2-33.4 depending on brand). Ford and Ram have stupidly large wheel wells. A 2" lift allows 34s. I still have 4 Wildpeak at3w on steelies (including TPMS) from when I had my 2018 F150 if you'd like more clearance Andre. ~13/32" left. I'm less than 30 minutes from Boulder.
Andre, if you put a leveling kit on your F150, trimmed up that front air dam, and put some proper AT tires on it I bet you'd see a massive difference in off road ability. Rough Country has a $400 loaded strut leveling kit. Some BFG KO2s in a 275/70/18 would look good and be easy better than your current tires and this wouldn't break the bank.
Edit: upon further research, RC doesn't make good quality products anymore. But my point still stands.
I know the algorithm requires hyperbole but the stock FX4 Crew with your heavy hybrid engine did fine. Andre, you were the liveryman in this video. You risked your treasure(/truck) and the wrath of she who must be kept happy. Nathan was the off-road beast hungering for greater challenge (on what I assume was the loaner truck?)
Monday morning mangling. Cannot wake up to a more interesting mishap venue to feast my eyes upon. lol Brave Andre. Brave Nathan. TFL editing is top notch here. :)
I love this video because your personal truck is a great example of a truck that I’m looking into purchasing and I put trucks through very similar situations.!. I’ll have the same thoughts and or concerns at the time! I’m looking into purchasing the same truck and options as your personal truck! From this video I think the basic truck more than capable of what I’ll be expecting of it!
Monday morning truck comparison vid with Nathan and Andre? Yeah, this week's gonna' be alllll right.
Andre, kudos for using your personal truck to do these comparative videos.
Great video gentlemen! I love Andre's investment in his ride and pushing the limit.
The vodka helps too
I think TFL should sponsor Andre's truck with some basic goodies: small lift, tires, winch, maybe upgraded lights etc, and then come back and do this same test again.
honestly i don't know if you can get the ranger raptor over there in the us but for that tight rock crawling type of off road it makes much more sense than the F-150 raptor
Love the videos and have been curious about the differences and it just seems like clearance and tires are the major reasons the fx4 couldn’t make some of the challenges
Love the video, guys. @tfloffroad How was the pucker factor using those SL rated tires on the Tremor?
TFL is the best. Andre sorry for your damage, but this video really helped me understand some of the FX4 limitations. I was thinking King Ranch Hybrid, but now it looks like the Tremor may get the nod. I am a newbie and I am trying to learn as much as I can before making a final decision a new vehicle and my 1st ever truck. I really want the Hybrid and 7.2 Pro Power Onboard, but it looks like I may have to either wait or punt on those options on a Tremor. Nathan, I appreciate your experience and comments on why you said some of the "auto" options might not be a fit for you, but I see them as ideal for anyone who is new to off-road.
Great video boys. I loved the comment about Andre sleeping in Nathan’s basement. Too funny. Andrea, I would love for you to install a torsen diff, a small lift and some bigger tires.
I've got a 2.5in leveling kit and some 33 inch nitto Terra grapplers on my F-150 and it will do pretty much whatever I need it to off-road. Just new tires on your truck would make a world of difference. Keep on trucking Andre and your truck will soon be strong like Ox. 🇷🇺
I'm really loving the antimatter Blue 😍
Andrea was really giving his work truck a workout on the trail. I won’t dare taking my standard Z71 Silverado on that trail. Preferably Tombstone hill, thank you very much. Guys, suggest taking the new Silverado ZR2 on this trail. That will make a awesome video. Great work, guys.
when I went on the ironclads i bypassed the razor rocks (Tommy was actually taking the defender up it at that time, and I didn't have a spotter so I didn't want to risk it) then I went a little farther and eventually got to a big ledge that I didn't think my Gladiator front end would clear. Did I take a wrong turn somewhere? I'm pretty sure I have a better approach angle than that FX4, and I don't think that air dam on Andre's truck would have cleared the ledge I encountered. I turned around and came back down.
Man I have a 2021 STX with FX4 package. No way I’m putting my truck through that. But thanks for letting me know what I could get away with.Brave you are!
FX4 has basically become a decal package for the most part. The FX4 is probably geared more for camping and fire service roads and work related stuff. The Tremor obviously more for slower speed off road and a little smidge of the Raptor in there. They are Both nice though , just different needs and wants. I’ve owned 2 Raptors (gen2) 18&20. Where I live in Wisconsin we pretty much have to go to the northern part of our state for trails. When I had the Raptors they were just too big to fit down these trails. The came the Tremor so I have to a shot. (Twice). A 22&23 that I bought last week. (22 got wrecked). “For me” it’s the perfect blend of comfort for long road trips and still hitting some nice trails. All of the above trucks had a 3.5 which I have grown to like mainly because I’ve never had an issue and the 5.0 has an oil consumption issue. And “YES” for the record I’d rather have a v8.
How often do you find yourself adding oil ?
The tremor looks like a fantastic truck, probably what I would buy if I had to buy an offroad-y pick-up, but I’m personally not a fan of pick-ups off-road or in general
Sweet Rush hat, Nathan!
I just wonder how many of those settings actually do something different.
As usual, a great video. I get my 22 F150 Hybrid Lariat in a couple weeks (replacing my 2015 Lariat), although I'm not sure I'd take a truck that big on a trail like that. Damage is too pricey and crew cabs are just too long for most trails. I'll stick to easy trails and backroads and use a different vehicle for those trails. That said, it's cool to see how capable they really are. What trail were you on? I'm just outside of Longmont and would like to try that one, in a different vehicle. Cheers!
Tremor seems like an excellent truck! Has a nice sounding exhaust too! Great video!
Love the Video.. I have the new 2021 Tremor and I love it but I can not change to different drive modes? Is this only on specific tremors or what is the way to get into the different modes. My dealership even said they dont think they have multiple drive modes? Would love to get this information...
Pretty nice truck. Will be interesting to see ZR2 Silverado in a similar comparison.
you guys push trucks to their limits. good stuff.
Rush 🤘🏼🤘🏼
I still miss Niel Peart.
Great video, gents. The Tremor looks like a real option for the off road types.
Love the video. Love the F250 Tremor. The more I see the F150 Tremor the more the “want” is creeping in. To be honest when they first announced it I was disappointed that it didn’t have a front locker and 17” wheels with 35” tires.
I don’t think anyone is taking a stock FX4 on that trail. If they did they would still pop off the front air dam for sure. Must would at least put a level and some better tires before attempting this.
Great video guys! Ford, offer that Tremor in the Supercab with 6-1/2' bed and the Coyote and I'm a buyer.
Good review guys. Sorry for the damage
I cant get over how good that tremor looks...
The FX4 should be considered a "Foundation" package. You need tires and a leveling/lift kit to make use of that package. Otherwise, just buy a base 4x4 build from there.
It's a different TH-cam world when you're the one making the payments lol.
"Every inch matters" - Andre 19:24
Hey Guys, cool review of both the FX4 and the Tremor trucks. Andre believe me when I say, that if your FX4 had a 2”-2.5” lift kit and a descent BFG All-terrain (285/75) you would have done essentially everything that the Tremor executed. Your FX4 truck has all the factory essentials needed to go explore built into that pkg.
Just my 3cents.🤘🏽
Glad you didn't actually chainsaw at 24:00. You don't blame the trail for damaging your truck... you blame the driver for taking that truck on the trail ;) Well done!
The 1st scratch or dent is the worst, Andre! Now it is a real truck!
Nice truck! What's your average mpg, what color is it and what was the final price you were able to get it at?
My 21 Lariat FX4 sport appearance powerboost has the extended length fixed running boards and also has the small plastic piece ahead of rear tire instead of the big deflector Andre has on his truck. I have Hancook 33" tires from factory on the optional 20" dark gray wheels. Does Andre's XL have smaller tires than 33" from factory? If he has same 3.73 rearend and sits lower because of smaller tires, then XLT trim and above FX4 equipped trucks would actually sit slightly higher and have more aerodynamic wind drag, but maybe a little more ground clearance. So his XL may suffer more than the average FX4 offroad.
The wheel and tire combo looks great
That TREMOR is NICE!
Love the Andre and Nathan show. I hope Roman covers your truck for insurance when you’re doing “work”.
Those scratches would hurt a lot worse if it was top of the line model but I commend this guy bring your own truck to work day that takes balls buddy
Not really. It doesn't cost any less to fix it because it isn't top of the line.
Um same sheet medal on top model lmao
@@Norwisco I think they meant it as hurting more emotionally (given how much the vehicle costs in total). Though Anti-matter Blue may also be more expensive (along with some top trim paints) to repaint panels and such, so there is that possibility to have a higher cost associated with scratches..
Why does top-of-the-line matter when you're talking body damage? Not like they got a Cadillac Pearl Paint that requires whole vehicle repaint to match. I feel bad regardless if its a work truck vs top-of-the-line. Damage is damage regardless how much you spent on the vehicle. What and where he damaged literally makes no difference on the price of the vehicle.
I didn't mean expense wise it's obviously the same body pannels this particular model is meant to be used and is going to aquire dents and dings as apposed to a limited or king ranch package it would hurt the owner a lot more personally had it been a higher trim level this is a work truck not a show truck see what I'm saying
Love the RUSH HAT!!
Nathan's Rush hat is the best part of this video 🤘🤘
TFL, not Andre just purchased a passenger rear fender, great vid guys!
That tremor would sell a lot of units just by making the 5.0 available. Supercharged 5.0 tremor is more appealing than the v6 raptor.
Love your vids guys. A few questions at the end. I'm torn between the Platinum, Tremor and Raptor. The Raptor is really overkill for me, but dang it looks the best, and with all springs instead of leaf struts I suspect it's the nicest highway drive. Being older and not off road as much as I used to, that would be nice. Would love the Raptor with among other things its extra height and its wider, more aggressive stance, but am concerned about how much wider it is, the extra 7"s on the width seems a bit more than I want. The Tremor is apparently 1" higher and 1" wider than stock which is good, but I wish the Tremor was maybe 1 1/2 to 2"s wider on each side compared to stock with an aligning added fender instead of just 1" wider, and maybe 2-2 1/2" higher compared to stock instead of just 1" higher. And if I remember correctly, the Tremor has springs at one end anyway, which I like, though would prefer springs at both ends. The Tremor is a reasonable happy medium between the Platinum and Raptor though, and does have some added capability over the Platinum. I just love the better mpg and the luxury, massaging, reclining, all black, all leather seats of the Platinum. My questions:
Do you know, could I modify a loaded blacked out Platinum to be levelled and lifted 2 1/2"s, ideally with springs to replace the leaf struts, use 35 tires, offset the tires say 1 1/2" to 2" on each side, and add fenders to align with the outside edge of the offset tires, all of it blacked out, exterior and interior? Do you know, can I get all black leather seats in the Tremor instead of those with so much orange in them? If so I could then just get the Tremor stock otherwise. I really want an all or largely all blacked out vehicle, exterior and interior. Also, if I can get the Tremor seats blacked out, could I add a bit more lift and offset to the Tremor easy enough, plus the aligning wider fender, and maybe slightly larger tires if those aren't 35's? And what do you think of my Platinum and Tremor modification ideas?
Just got a 21’ lariat fx4 in that beautiful antimatter blue. Almost went with the tremor but the incentives for the Lariat won me over. I figured if I really wanted to go seriously off-road, I’d take my wife’s 4Runner 😂
Sure thing
yep. narrower and very capable
i really feel for andre, i just bought a gecko green JLUR 4xe off the showroom floor with all the bells and whistles about two weeks ago & this past weekend i took it out on some trails... little did i know that one of the trails was a bit more than i anticipated, i got WAY too close to damaging the top, fenders, doors, on multiple different points of this trail & there was no way to turn around.
That feeling when youre wondering if your brand new vehicle is about to slide or tilt into something (which is already too close for comfort) makes it so hard to keep composure
Bring vodka... Andre does
Once you level the truck it’s makes all the difference. I still get out and check because I think I’m going to bottom out and I’m amazed when I still have 2-3 more inches of clearance under the front bumper. I think I’ll get over just about anything as the tremor can. The only thing that goes against the Fx4 would be the tires aren’t as grippy as the tremors
I have a 2012 f150 fx4 with a 3 inch lift kit fox with 33’s and I love it..
Ouch Andre! My 21 f150 got a few scratches and i wasnt as calm as you:) interestingly i have an xl stx with a tow package that has the same rims as the tremor. About 32in tires. Locking rear diff as well. So just missing skid plates. I thought the fx4 was supposed to have bigger tires?
Man, way to sacrifice your truck for science Andre! I would not be so brave. If I were wanting to do trail riding I would buy a nice truck as a hauler and a wicked side by side. Having something designed for these trails makes more sense to me.
