Feel the Tremors From a Powerful Powertrain

Ford offers the 2021 F-150 with six different engines but has reserved a very special one for the Tremor. Each F-150 Tremor runs on a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 gas engine. This engine features twin turbochargers for maximum power and is only slightly less capable than the 3.5-liter found in the Ford Raptor. It has an aluminum block with aluminum heads to reduce overall vehicle weight and combines port fuel injection with direct injection, moving fuel into each cylinder head in two different ways, through the air intake port and inside the cylinder itself. This helps improve overall efficient performance, resulting in an engine that delivers 400 horsepower at 6,000 rpm and 500 lb-ft of torque at 3,100 rpm.

The 2021 Ford F-150 Tremor is exceptionally powerful with this powertrain combination. It is capable of carrying up to 1,885 pounds of payload, so this is not just an off-roading one-trick pony. What’s more, the Tremor can tow up to 10,900 pounds, so it is a real workhorse on and off the road.

One of the most surprising things about the F-150 Tremor is its exceptional fuel economy. You would think that a full-size pickup truck like the Tremor would be a gas-guzzler with its strong powertrain and exceptional capabilities. But then, you would be wrong. The 2021 F-150 Tremor gets an estimated 16 miles per gallon in city driving, 20 miles per gallon on the highway, and a combined 18 miles per gallon. Those are not bad numbers for a 4X4 pickup with 400 hp on tap.

Hit the Trail With an Outstanding Suspension System

Ford has made sure that the F-150 Tremor is factory built for off-roading, which is why it has a factory-installed special suspension system. The front axle has an independent suspension, with both front and rear axles featuring off-road Tremor shocks. Ford has also equipped the Tremor with trim-specific control arms and front knuckles for superior suspension geometry. There is an electronic locking rear differential that will prevent slippage, especially in off-road conditions. When engaged, it will lock the rear axle completely, allowing for improved traction from both rear wheels. Ford has designed the locking rear differential to work with the standard AdvanceTrac and Roll Stability Control systems for seamless performance on or off the road.

The 2021 Ford F-150 Tremor is 4X4 standard. As such, it features a two-speed automatic transfer case to provide the optimal amount of horsepower to each wheel for exceptional four-wheel drive performance. Ford also offers a number of specialized handling features on the Tremor, including the torque-on-demand transfer case from the Raptor, an available 4.10 front axle with a TORSEN limited-slip differential, and Trail Control. This last feature will allow you to experience one-pedal driving, with the system controlling your truck’s brakes so you can focus on steering and acceleration.

The F-150 Tremor rides on 18-inch aluminum wheels with a dark matte finish. Not only does this give the Tremor a real aggressive look, but it also provides you with a total ground clearance of 9.4 inches and a one-inch wider stance than the average F-150. This results in a 68.5-inch track width on your Tremor. These wheels sport a set of 33-inch General Grabber all-terrain tires that are designed to give you maximum grip and traction, whether you plan on going off-roading with your Tremor or sticking to the Kentucky highways near you.

If you plan on going off-roading, this is one truck that you can take out on the trail right off of our lot. It has an approach angle of 27.6 degrees, a departure angle of 24.3 degrees, and a ramp breakover angle of 21.2 degrees, so you should be able to traverse any obstacle in your Tremor’s path. There are skid plates strategically placed over the fuel tank, transfer case, and front differential to protect your 2021 F-150 Tremor from rocks, logs, and other obstacles that can do serious damage to your truck’s undercarriage. A pair of front tow hooks will help you get off most obstacles, while the black platform running boards and Tremor-style step bars will help you and your passengers get easy access to the Tremor’s cabin and bed.

Adventure in Comfort With a Roomy Cab

The 2021 Ford F-150 Tremor may be rough and ready for the off-road trails, but you might not know that from its well-appointed interior. The Tremor comes with a standard SuperCrew cab, so your rear-seat passengers will have a full 43.6 inches of legroom. This will keep the passengers you are taking along in your Tremor from fighting over who gets to ride shotgun.

The front row of your 2021 Tremor features bucket seats with unique sports trim cloth upholstery and lumbar supports. The rear row is a 60/40 flip-up split-bench with an elongated cushion for greater comfort. Ford offers a leather-trimmed interior as an option, which will give you heated front and rear leather seats as well as a leather-wrapped steering wheel.The Tremor comes equipped with the Ford SYNC 4 infotainment system to keep you and your passengers connected. It has a user-friendly 8-inch color touchscreen and includes the FordPass Connect apps with a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, Bluetooth connectivity, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility.

Ford also offers a 644-watt 8-speaker B&O sound system by Bang & Olufsen, which will give you exceptional stereo sound in your Tremor. You can even upgrade to a 12-inch center-stack touchscreen and connected built-in navigation on your 2021 Ford F-150 Tremor. If you are an unabashed audiophile, you can spring for the B&O sound system unleashed with HD radio technology. This gives you 18 speakers and 1,080 watts of stereo power, providing you and your passengers with an incredible soundtrack to your latest off-road adventure.

Ford Continues to Rock the World With the 2021 F-150 Tremor

For most folks, when they want an off-road vehicle, they have to compromise. Most purpose-built off-roaders are great on the trail but lack the fuel economy and performance you need when riding on a highway. When it comes to off-road pickup trucks, most sacrifice their payload and towing capacities. For others that feature after factory equipment, they just don’t have the ruggedness of a suspension system and drivetrain created with off-roading in mind. Fortunately for you, the 2021 Ford F-150 Tremor gives you the best of both worlds.

This is a purpose-built full-size off-road truck that has all the features, equipment, and systems you need so you can hit the trail with the peace of mind that you didn’t leave anything behind at the dealership. At the same time, the F-150 Tremor gets solid fuel economy while providing you with the towing and payload capabilities you need in a pickup truck. Stop by our dealership today and rock the world when you drive out in your 2021 Ford F-150 Tremor.
