I have seen and been on several manufacturers test courses. But this one takes the cake. Now lets see GM, Ram and Jeep do the same. I was very impressed with what I saw.
Wow! I saw a lot of haters in the comments section of the Ford Tremor announcement video, about Ford's choice of shocks and suspension setup for the Tremor. It looks pretty darn capable to me!
Ram Power Wagon has the winch standard equipment. Not like ford 3000 dollar option. and its a cleaner look. plus sway bar disconnect with locking front & rear diff
I do a lot of dirt work in rock quarries. These conditions and worse are an everyday thing. I drive a 2014 f350 Srw. It’s a pretty harsh ride. Recently tested a 2020 f250, big difference in ride quality. Now looking at a new f250 tremor.
Great camera shots, felt like we were there with you, what a truck, this should do very well for Ford, I’m waiting till the first year passes and getting one.
I bought a 2020 Tremor the first month when they came out im very impressed with the truck over all. I haven't taken it off road to much but it walks right though what I have done so far. And it tows our camper that weights 8500 pounds with no problems. The 7.3 gas is a beast! I would love to add the Whipple charger but can't afford the cost. But maybe some day! Nice off road course love to drive it if they would let you!
Pretty awesome, I had a power wagon and it would do extremely well in those conditions! Amazed to see how ford got rear lockers for the f250! They made a solid truck!! I think that’s my next purchase!
Learn left foot brake, right foot gas pedal off road, and on many older trucks you could use the hand actuated e brake (especially on stick shift trucks) to drive over large rocks smoothly. Many off roaders know what I am talking about. It helps for quads, dirtbikes, side by sides, etc. In modern trucks hill decent and crawl modes do it for you, but it is a good skill to know how to use gas and brakes in conjunction to get many desirable effects. Many skilled folks can also use right foot toe on brake and heel on gas with left foot on clutch and right hand on e brake left hand on steering, to get all kinds of fun from and old Toyota or Nissan mini truck. Ah, the good old days!
That looked like a pretty fun course, JD. Regarding the synthetic winch rope, everything I have found online indicates it doesn't store any energy and so no winch blanket is needed. Safety is one of the main benefits of synthetic. Definitely needed for steel cable though.
Nice that they put a winch as an option but why would they put the electric plug connector AND the free spool selector knob, both, one on one side and one on the other side??? If u get in a pickle and NEED a sideways nudge, that crap will be in the way of the synthetic line!
Hey JD, did you run into Andre from TFL Truck while you were at that event? Your video was much more in depth on the actual course that Ford had set up there. Andre said the course was pretty gnarly, but you certainly showed it! Kind of surprised me how much a manufacturer was willing to let others push their new trucks.
On the REVan Evan channel here on YT, they do a tear down of the 7.3 gasser engine to see what it's made of and report they got "just under" 600 HP with a cam swap and a new intake manifold.
I looked at a 2020 F-250 Tremor Package. Unfortunately I only had time to drive by the lot and stop and walk around it. Came back the next day and it was gone. Should of taken the rest of the day off and test drove it and bought it on the spot. And it was the color I wanted. I have a 2021 on order.....
That’s great capability, but honestly I would never abuse a 60k+ truck off-road like that. Unless it was Ford’s event like that. I have a 16’ f250 diesel and only go off road on field roads at the worst.
Serious question. Just learned of the tremor package. Do people really take it off-roading? I wouldn't think a long wheel base would be ideal. Who is the target audience for this truck? Dont get me wrong I love what I saw and want to go test drive one now but just not clear on its purpose. Any help please? Seriously asking for guidance.
Nice video. Overall, like the Tremor package. Is it just me, or does 70' seem a bit short for a winch line?....except for this demo? Only say that because as a 17 year old, I took my 57 F100 open rear out to the woods and across a stream. On the return sunk a bit into the bed of the stream. It wasn't deep but bed was soft. A guy with a dump truck and winch with 150' cable got me out but he needed every inch of it as he was too big to get closer. 😂
Dam ford jest wants to be like ram all the way lol for real though it’s nice to see the big 3 making some off-road capability trucks I think the ram and fords are doing very well with these new trucks there coming out with💯💪🏻
Wow!! Impressive I want the Ram Powerwagon But has no Diesel engine This does and have almost everything that the Ram has except for the electric sway bar disconnects Now see what Ram does next
Question if you get a 450 or 4500 do you have to have commercial insurance on it I know the tags cost you more and that’s neither here or there I was just wondering If you need commercial insurance on it because it’s a medium duty truck
I don't believe the semi truck has a high or tought rolling resistance so to me it's a poor demonstration. Now with the brakes applied now were talkin.. !
No. Not even close. The tires alone would drive the price up significantly. Plus the LSD up front as well as the other changes to the suspension wouldn't provide the same bang for the buck
if you do a lot of off-roading diesel is not the way to go . turbo diesel don’t like to idle for a long time . that is why all of our fleet trucks is now a 7.3 gas engine
Wow big deal! You dragged that KW over hard pack with just the parking brakes engaged, that of course only lock the rear axles! That’s nothing like pulling it out of a stuck in mud trick! or even up that hill! Then you drive up and down a hard packed hill like many I’ve driven over in two wheel drive in my Colorado with stock Wranglers and not DuraTracs. Over those rocks was cool, but nothing any Ram PW could not. Yes it’s a nice truck, but other than those rocks an possibly that washout I know my lowly Colorado could get through. I would love to see that Tremor follow a ZR2. Plus I’d like to see how a TrailBoss 1/2 Ton an HD AT4, go through the same areas
Ford nailed it with this package
I’m impressed that they actually created a legit challenging course for the offroad demos! Most of the time the mfg demo courses are a joke.
I have a blacked out F 250 Godzilla ordered...can’t wait.
Oh hell yeah. This is my dream truck right here. If I'm buying new, this will be it. I wouldn't need another truck, no upsizing or upgrades needed.
As an Arizonan, I appreciate seeing the testing done in local terrain. Very cool. Now I want one even more!

I absolutely love the 2020 F250 6.7 Tremor
We need a Expedition tremor
Ford is really going to force Ram to step their Power Wagon game up, and that benefits everyone.
Damm that thing is a beast, but who the hell is going to do this In a brand new truck, its rare people use there Raptors what there made for😂😂
Wow. That was the most rugged course I've seen in my short time as a subscriber.
That was a great test course. Pretty awesome that Ford made a real honest off road course for you guys to test on.
It makes me feel like trading in my 2018 F350 Lariat diesel. Sweet truck
Agreed. Nice course. Ford def gets cred for that!
Extremely impressive with that weight and size pickup!
Crazy how quiet that 6.7 is.
Neat point around 8:30 regarding why Ford decided not to go with a disconnecting sway bar like the powerwagon.
Ram Power Wagon has the winch standard equipment. Not like ford 3000 dollar option. and its a cleaner look. plus sway bar disconnect with locking front & rear diff

ONE BAD ASS TRUCK...... Very Impressive - Diesel Engine Doesn't Break a Sweat..... WOW !
Pretty impressive for a heavy duty 3/4 ton truck.

My Toyota T-100 with go through this no problem
I’m a ford fan
Great video.
That ford really can off road.
How it compares to the powerwagon? Better or worse since you can get the tremor whit a diesel.
Mine gets to the dealer in just over a week. Can't wait.
Awesome I probably won't put my 2021 7.3 to this but glad it can do it
All 4×4 trucks should come with an
e-locker instead of it being a add on feature
Just out of curiosity did you happen to notice how high the temperatures were running through the course thank you and another great
"Ballard power" I think is the technical term for pulling with a winch/tow boating. "Tensil strength" for the breaking point of the coiled steel line.
Makes me want one even more...
I Love my Powerwagon.
Nice that they put a winch as an option but why would they put the electric plug connector AND the free spool selector knob, both, one on one side and one on the other side??? If u get in a pickle and NEED a sideways nudge, that crap will be in the way of the synthetic line!
Its a pity we can't get these Super Duty trucks more readily in Australia, we can only import these and convert them to Right Hand drive
Do you think the gas tremor could tow a 12,000 pound travel trailer ? I heard it was capable of 15,000 pounds at the bumper.
I have say that truck is a beast,
Well done 👍🏼
Thanks for sharing this great vlog.
If only ford saw what I’ve done with my truck
Hey JD, did you run into Andre from TFL Truck while you were at that event? Your video was much more in depth on the actual course that Ford had set up there. Andre said the course was pretty gnarly, but you certainly showed it! Kind of surprised me how much a manufacturer was willing to let others push their new trucks.
TFL was there the following day
This is a very tough course for a pickup truck.did the transmission get hot
On the REVan Evan channel here on YT, they do a tear down of the 7.3
gasser engine to see what it's made of and report they got "just under"
600 HP with a cam swap and a new intake manifold.
I like how they show it going thru muddy water but not mud mud
I looked at a 2020 F-250 Tremor Package. Unfortunately I only had time to drive by the lot and stop and walk around it. Came back the next day and it was gone. Should of taken the rest of the day off and test drove it and bought it on the spot. And it was the color I wanted. I have a 2021 on order.....
Do you think Ford picked the best place to mount those plastic antennas? (back of the roof) What if you put a truck camper in the bed??
Face reveal while doing offroad on rocks?!?!??
Want this way more Than a Raptor.!
All this truck for a ridiculously low price of 90k, sign me up!!!!
That’s great capability, but honestly I would never abuse a 60k+ truck off-road like that. Unless it was Ford’s event like that. I have a 16’ f250 diesel and only go off road on field roads at the worst.
Damn that looks like fun!
Whistlin diesel will test that truck for you real good. 😝
That's a badass truck
That was the REAL DEAL! I had fun...how bout you? Lol.
Nice ride going through the course. Not sure I would do it given my fear of heights when you were close to the edge of those drop offs.
Impressive!
you don't need a winch blanket, there is almost no force on that line, lol. a 3k# winch can pull that truck easy!
Serious question. Just learned of the tremor package. Do people really take it off-roading? I wouldn't think a long wheel base would be ideal. Who is the target audience for this truck? Dont get me wrong I love what I saw and want to go test drive one now but just not clear on its purpose. Any help please? Seriously asking for guidance.
Really enjoyed this one
Very cool nice rig
Awesome video thank
Me gonna have one.
Like the tests but, it's all done with zero payload. To convince potential buyers what's needed is #3000 in the box.
Nice video. Overall, like the Tremor package. Is it just me, or does 70' seem a bit short for a winch line?....except for this demo?

How much is it, 90 grand?
Who has a 7.3L Tremor and can give me an idea of MPG on highway?
You’ve got to drive that truck like a truck.
Great vid!
Dam ford jest wants to be like ram all the way lol for real though it’s nice to see the big 3 making some off-road capability trucks I think the ram and fords are doing very well with these new trucks there coming out with💯💪🏻
Sweet truck 👍🏻
Wow!! Impressive I want the Ram Powerwagon But has no Diesel engine This does and have almost everything that the Ram has except for the electric sway bar disconnects Now see what Ram does next
I hope you guys show more of the 7.3....well shit.... all diesel 😢😩
That's terrifying. I'll stick with taking my Wrangler through a course like that. ;-)
Need to some Resistance on that, then winch :)
You should try to review any heart land torque campers
Question if you get a 450 or 4500 do you have to have commercial insurance on it I know the tags cost you more and that’s neither here or there I was just wondering If you need commercial insurance on it because it’s a medium duty truck
I don't believe the semi truck has a high or tought rolling resistance so to me it's a poor demonstration. Now with the brakes applied now were talkin.. !
Suprising truck
Is the winch a factory option or an accessory? Is the winch only on the Tremor?
Where in Arizona was the course set up? Does ford build these Demonstrations courses or a vendor?
That is sick!! I want one now. Haha 😆
Would you update with the actual tire height measurement? Curious if it really measures 35" as specs show....
Could you modify a f250 yourself and make it better than the tremor package for a cheaper cost.
No. Not even close. The tires alone would drive the price up significantly. Plus the LSD up front as well as the other changes to the suspension wouldn't provide the same bang for the buck
if you do a lot of off-roading diesel is not the way to go . turbo diesel don’t like to idle for a long time . that is why all of our fleet trucks is now a 7.3 gas engine
How do you see over that hood?
Yep, you need a blanket and I really wouldn’t stand 2 inches from the line either lol
How come you have all the fun
what does the name "tremor" indicate?
Should a truck cost almost as much as a house, in 2020? Wellllll......If it does this? YES! Lol.
Wow big deal! You dragged that KW over hard pack with just the parking brakes engaged, that of course only lock the rear axles!

That thing is bouncing all over the place. Looks like a rough ride to me.
Who’s filming going up the hill? Must be Ford guys, tilt camera trick. Not buying it. Would think about buying this truck. Great episode
I hope that tough trail didn't touched the undercarriage of new truck 🙂
0:16 Chevy driver testing out the Tremor. Can't give em anything nice.
Where do you put the front license plate ?
Worlds strongest men pull trucks like that lol And What is a winch blanker
that wrench will be handi so it can be pulled up on to a flat bed tow truck
Can you break a Tremor on a Ford course in a truck you didn’t have to pay for? I bet you won’t.
