A lot of the features discussed that are "only" on the tremor can easily be added to the XLT, such as the lay flat center console, the under seat lockable storage, bed utility package, and if you go to the 303A package in the XLT you get the B&O speakers, adjustable pedals, wireless charging, etc. It's all about how you configure both, neither come default with all of these features.
One of the best reviews of Ford F-150’s I have seen. You are very knowledgeable about the F-150’s and like how you parked the XLT and the TREMOR side by side. I think these two trims are the most purchased/popular and best value for 2024 F-150.
@@andrewc1036they do. Gotta go up a trim level or pay attention to build sheet. They added this new facelift along with new projector lights. More options I guess. 21-23 quad beam headlights looked better. I like them over the new ones and the dual projector lights you're talking about.
Crazy because I just spaced a ‘24 tremor and my quote was $63k and change. My build date is 10/28 so I’m hoping to get it by the end of November. I’m coming from a ‘16 f150 sport 4x4 and the reason I went for the tremor was because a new sport XLT was $61k. Umm yeah it’s a no brainer - for an extra $2k to bump up in trim levels
I ordered a XLT blacked out edition 2024 it's arriving at the end of August it has leather heated seats, B&O system like the Tremor and a couple extra add ons like box liner sprayed and other stuff. And it's MSRP sticker was almost 82000$ in Northern Ontario Canada. I usually drive a Lariat but that's out of the question now it's over 100000$ the way I want it set up and that means we pay a luxury tax cause it's over 100k and a Tremor is even more expensive than that. What the hell .Wish I could get a Tremor but that's never going to happen. And trading in my Lariat is going to be hard to do wish I would have bought it out when I ordered it in the first place but I got sick for a bit and wasn't sure what I was going to be going through. Now I'm 95% good . Yes I would buy out my Lariat but not with interest rates at 7.99% my truck would cost me still over 62000$ not happening it's a 2021 Lariat FX4 I think 502A anyway that's my rant.or speal wish vehicles weren't so damn expensive..God bless
in Alberta they have 401A tremors for 68k, 402A tremors for 78k, 501A lariats for 72k and 502A lariats for 75k. Those are brand new 2024s. Not sure what's happening out in Ontario but here they are not selling for MSRP no where near because no one is buying them. They still have brand new 2023s on the lot !
Good review. Thanks. I'm torn b/t a few different F150's, but it would be a no brainer for me if I could get the fully loaded F150 Tremor with the Powerboost engine. Ford should offer the Tremor and Raptor with the Powerboost as an option.
The biggest complaint I have about my 23 Tremor so far is that the infotainment system sometimes takes too long to engage. I love the Torsen (not sure the one you looked at had it). The MPG has been great in the Coyote. I only pull a small trailer on occasion with this truck and am more interested in longevity and capability. It doesn't like strong winds for mpg on the interstate (west Texas) at 80+ mph (probably the 3.73:1 diffs), but I am averaging around 20 overall (calculated). The truck thinks I'm getting almost 21 over the last 3k+ miles. Peace, Love!!
I think it's worth it for the upgrades. The dual exhaust looks so much better. Always wished ford would make that standard. He touched on the wheel upgrade but not the tire upgrade, you get larger more rugged all terrain tires on the tremor. For a 5 grand upgrade in today's world you get a lot for your money with the upgrade.
Hi! I’m thinking of getting a used F-150 as daily work truck. I have a commute of 40 mile one-way (1.5 hrs) then another 1hr drive home in horrid SoCal traffic. I haul mostly network cabling installation equipment in the bed, and do not tow. What model year, engine and grade do you recommend? I would like to have some of the newer active safety features such as the automatic emergency braking system to avoid front collisions, but not as critical as long-term reliability and durability. Any suggestions for a late model F-150 with Direct and Port Injection. Also, what immediate and affordable engine and transmission mods for reliability and durability are recommended? I’m not looking for more power, just long-term reliability and durability as I don’t have too much money and need a truck for work and personal use. Thank you!
If I was in your spot, I would either go with the naturally aspirated v8 or the 3.5 ecoboost. I have received nothing but good ratings on these power trains. For the newer tech Im sure your best bet would be an XLT trim for a more affordable price range.
I would like to buy a Ford F-150. Do you recommend buying a 5.0 V8 or a 3.5 V6 two-turbo engine? Which is more reliable, consumes more fuel, and has fewer mechanical problems?
Oh gosh. That’s a hard one. As much as I hate turbo system I have to say the eco boost 3.5 is a good hitter. My experience of knowing many with the 3.5 is good. Mpg is better on ecoboost and you can put some good power. Maintaining will be a bit more I would say. But v8 is less maintenance but not a huge fan of their v8s. Hopefully I answered.
The only thing I’m bummed about is the DRL on my 21 XLT were a better look than the new ones, but I like the new design of the headlight. The old fog lights were also a big better I think
Trimmer but would not pay $60 plus K for a dam pickup , all the manufacturers are just ripping off the people ! Keep all the fancy bull crap and make a work truck with some reliability built in
They do. These are high end trucks with tons of features that people are willing to pay for. But Ford does still offer an XL work truck brand new for $39k which I agree still has too many features but they are being discounted below sticker. I just bought a 24 XLT that had a $61k sticker price but after Ford's discount, dealer discount, and $5k in rebates the actual price was $49,900. Even 20 year old beat to shit trucks are selling for $10k and high mileage 10 year old trucks are $20k. I've always bought used but the prices don't make sense anymore when a 3 year old truck with 40k miles is $43k.

Love my 2023 Tremor. Best truck I've ever owned.
It’s a beautiful truck!
The seats hurt my ass.
Love mine too!
Does it have the 402A package?
I went XLT, however that Tremor and it's features look worth it!
Yes, tremor does have a great look to it honestly!
what happenned to the projector led headlights on the 24 Tremor??? They were there on 23s.
They have them… hid on both, just different look
@@VagabondBuildsis this really true?
@@TH-camuser1aano. They don’t have projectors now
@@VagabondBuildsnot hidden. This new face lift does not have the halo lights. The new halo headlight upgrade would cost you a little extra $$.

Which truck is most suitable for hauling a bumper pull horse trailer? Horses weighing in at about 1500lbs.
How many horses? How big is the trailer?

The Tremor became a trim level on the 2023 models. Prior to that, it was a package.
Thank you for the heads up!
I stx with 5.0 just wish it had at least heated steering wheel and seats it whould be perfect
Oh nice. I’m not that much of a fan of a heated steering.
@@VagabondBuilds my older beat up hands whould lol my 2019 ram classic don’t have heated wheel or seats my wife’s always had it in her suvs
For that amount of money for the YLT and the Tremor, where is the sunroof? Lol! I would do the Tremor with the cool laid-down gear shift.
Between these two I see myself inclining to the tremor as well. Higher grade feel.
Yes, the price upgrade is definitely worth it and i'm not a big truck guy.
Yes! I hear ya!
Own a Raptor 2022 Would you recommend me to sell the Raptor and buy F150 V8 2024
Yes. Why you might ask…? Reasons. But I believe that would be a good move.
Here in Canada a lariat is around $93000. I know I bought one.
Hahahaha 😂😂😂
Inflation at its finest! A car almost worth a house.
73-76k for 502a in alberta

Just ordered a 2024 f150 lariat 502a for 90k, that is a ridiculous price for an XLT !
Nice 👍🏼 let us know how you like it!
@VagabondBuilds , dumped my junk tremor. Didn't like the 502, ended up with a 501 lariat.
Awesome. More luxury on the truck, that would be my pick.
@VagabondBuilds , I like my luxury, but not in this case, it's the HUD and dash reflection on the 502 that turned me to the 501.
@@shelhawke7206the tremor is junk so you bought another f150?
So a video describing everything you can see on Fords website😅
Yes, people just like watching the video.

Nice!

Sorry. My bad.
It’s okay!
