The steerable headlights are actually useful on trails at night, the B&O sound system is pretty darn good, and the auto dimming rear view mirrors are really good for older eyes at night, and on a very hot day in FL the cooled seats are awesome. SO I had to go with the 402A.
Yeah I also live in Florida ordered mine with the 402 a package
401A package is an off-road optioned out XLT, the 402A is an off-road configured 502A Lariat. Living in the snowy northland, I'd select the 402A for the 4A 4-wheel drive option for driving on snow compacted roads in the winter. I actually selected a 502A Lariat FX4 in the PowerBoost configuration which puts it in the same price range as the 402A Tremor. My 5% off-road driving is not aggressive off-road so I didn't need a Tremor. The number of ways an F-150 can be configured is truly impressive.
I read if you put 401a in sport mode it is 4wd auto
"Entry" vs. "Loaded" differences:
Projector headlamps
Painted side mirror caps
LED tail lamps
Perforated leather seats with Tremor logo & stitching
Heated rear seats
3-position memory driver seat
B&O sound system
Power steering wheel adjustment
Full digital dash display
Ventilated front seats
4-wheel Auto drive mode
Heated steering wheel
Storage cover for forward center console area
Folding center workbench
Panoramic sunroof
I'd probably go with the 402A because I'd miss those ventilated seats & sunroof in the summer and heated steering wheel & 4-Auto in the winter.
Same same!
moonroof is still a $1500 add-on, its not part of the 402a package.
I got the loaded package and it didn’t come with the folding work space table
In Canada, the Moonroof is $1750 & Interior Work Surface is $400. I think having the 4A is the most important feature in the 402A Package but it is a whopping $16, 176 Canadian. That's a hell of a lot of $$$ over the base truck!
@@a.fredscullard162 Yup I just ordered mine (here in Ontario) and it's a HUGE jump to the 401A. I went for it (as well as the moonroof, work space etc.). I think the 2022 401A also comes with a wireless phone charger if I'm not mistaken. Also the Unleashed BO system is an add-on as well.
To be honest, the cheaper 401A is more worth it then just the expensive package. Engine and towing capacity are like super important to trucks and they both are really similar in Engines but the cheaper tremor has more towing capacity. The only thing that’s different from the 2 trucks are the interiors, like the seats are good and the 12 inch screen is good too. Just some small changes on the 402A package. But I think the cheaper 401A is a better value to get. I agree with you Ben!
Taking delivery of my 402A and then some Velocity Blue in about 2 weeks. The added luxury was key for me. I am at the stage in my life both in mindset and financially that I like to treat myself to the nicer things. Coming from a 2018 4Runner TRD OR (which I absolutely LOVE and will miss) I am looking forward to all of the bells and whistles. Living in AZ those ventilated seats are going to get used a LOT from May to October. The heated front and rear seats will see a lot of use during our winter months after spending a day in the mountains in the snow or running creeks and rivers in my WW kayak and that may make me the designated post-run shuttle driver for my group. Having a wife who is 10" shorter than I am those memory seats are going to save me having knee replacement for all the times she forgets to move the seat back after she uses my vehicle. The plan for me is that this will be a 10-12 year vehicle and my dealer was willing to honor X Plan pricing so I was willing to drop the extra $$.
I have one, same color same package and I wouldn't go to the 401A package. Creature comfort is key since I put a lot of mileage on my vehicles and my work commute is 30 mins one way. Put it in sports mode and my boys are blown away every time...
I have a 402A as well, has 2k miles on it and I have no regrets. You made a great decisions. I love the truck and honestly every day I continue to be impressed.
Same boat as you!
Couldn't justify it myself. 15k more in Canada for the 402a and the differences are minor compared to the 401a
@@joshuabooth2955 do you even get a heated steering wheel in CA with the mid package?
Fire Ford for the 3,4,5 different headlight options. Every truck made, entry level through limited should have the best headlights in them.
He misses the key component of the projector LEDs, in that they are adaptive. Lights turn corners with direction of front wheels and have a variable dipped/high beam pattern. I have these on my 502A and have to be experienced to be appreciated. Illumination down a long dark road is spectacular yet adjusts in stages to oncoming vehicles.
I just got a 2021 Tremor 402A pkg, and I love it . Personal preference but I think the extra cost is worth it... besides all the niceties-like the leather seats and stitching/piping. I also think of the reasale value which is also a factor when buying a vehicle. just my opinion and my choice of picks....good job on the video too.
Missed the rain sensing wipers, power folding mirrors and garage integrated garage door opener on the 402a...
Pretty good overview tho. I'm a 402A guys...gotta have the ventilated seats . No one likes swamp ass. lol
Lmao the struggle of having swamp ass😂 402A is fluffy guy friendly!
forgot about the front diff also with the 402A from the Raptor with transfer case
I have been looking for a hour to confirm rain sensing wipers and power folding mirrors.... yes I have a lot of extra time on my hands.... but you can personally confirm these options are standard on 402A? Also... what about BLIS and stuff like that? I have been looking on window stickers online and they don't seem to have that stuff listed.
Also... the white one here has front sensors and the blue does not. What package is that apart of? Maybe the Ford Co-Pilot 360 V2.0?
@@Southernboy302 Co Pilot Assist 2.0
i personally do not like the digital gauges. i am old school give me a needle on a static display and i'm happy.
I’ve had trouble with the screen myself when trying to do a delivery for my customers. Thanks for the info. Great job!
This is why I can't justify buying a new truck. My '12 FX4 has more options and was half the price when new. Smh. I'll continue to drive mine until it won't. And then I'll try to find a '14 FX4.
Everyone liking the 402A but I’m over here just wanting a 400 base 😂
Shopping these trucks against a Trail Boss right now. Thanks for the great video! If the 401A had the Auto 4wd I'd order it for sure.
I read if you put 401a in sport mode it IS 4WD auto.
Great job Ben! Love your videos.
great comparison. Major differences I noticed, seats, sound system, and transfer case. Cloth in 401A may reduce need for ventilation. but the better, sound system and transfer case in 402A make it a difficult decision. But I agree with your conclusion, 401A better value.
Very very very useful review ! Thank you man !
Excellent review and I agree with your assessment.
I’m love the way you did the comparison.
Greetings from 🇶🇦
Great work.
The 4A setting is a must in a snowy climate IMO.
Or in a rainy area like FL. Once you have auto 4WD you will never want to be without it, especially in a truck that is light in the rear end with 400HP.
Good review, For me, it's 402A all the way. There are so many little differences that the extra price is worth it to me. This is like comparing an XLT to a Lariat. The 402A has a much nicer interior and that one has the B & O Unleashed audio system that I think isn't even available on the 401A. Also, the full gauges and ventilated seats and work surface also not available on 401A.
Work surface is available on 401a its an option. Mine has it
My dad just got one a ‘23 model with a v8 and it sounds so well!
The 2 I'm considering. Thanks
I would might go for the higher trim just to get the Auto 4wd and the work surface center console, though typically I prefer lesser loaded lighter optioned trucks, they just ride better and last longer trouble free...
Toss up between the two packages.
Yes big price difference between two packages. Excluding sun roof the 402a package has the extra comfort features, especially cooled seats.
My choice 402a package.
I drive a 14’ Lariat and it has the cooled seats and the 4A mode both of which I use all the time. I would suck up the extra cost of the 402A for sure!
What’s the Torsen diff’s gear ratio on the tremor?(4.10 or 3.73)
Does the rear diff ratio match the Torsen front diff? (4.10 front and 3.73 rear will cause binding)
How well does Torsen diff work on a Tremor?
I think he was probably comparing 2021 models here, but my 2022 401A does have the work surface, and I know the B&O option was also available for $600 if you had to have it. 401A has the heated, but no ventilated seats. Honestly, that was the only option that I miss, but it certainly wasn't worth the price difference to me. I actually prefer the leather/cloth sport seats on the 401A... I'm not a fan of leather seating in the middle summer OR winter. The cloth centers look great and are way more comfortable in my opinion. I really couldn't justify the added cost for the higher package.
Going from a 2010 Mitsubishi Lancer to a F150 Tremor with the 402a package. Looking forward to it!
Great video Ben. 4Auto is a HUGE deal for me, that's why I'd go for 402A. I don't understand why they're not doing "AWD" it for the XLT, that's a foolish/cheap choice IMO. Otherwise, I'd go for 401A. By the way, what are the markups in your area... 7-10k in DFW, which is a no go for me.
I wouldn't want the 4wd auto feature, depending on what transfer case they use it could mean that it just uses clutch plates and that would mean even in 4 hi and 4 low it's never truly locked in. With that said for most people and most situations it ain't a big deal, but for my intended uses, I wouldn't want it
I could be wrong, but I don’t think you’re losing anything with the more sophisticated transfer case. All higher trim level 4wd f150s and Broncos have 4A including Raptor. It’s basically a pseudo-AWD setup that many ppl including me find very useful in inclement weather. Many don’t know this, but you can’t drive in 4 hi unless you’re off road. Right now it the weather is bad I just put truck in 4A and you get great traction for most daily needs, for example if it’s wet.
@@squatchwatch5237 You get 4A and 4H and 4L with the higher package. You don't lose anything, you simply gain 4A. My 2017 Raptor gets the quickest 0-60 in 4A and driving in the rain 4A is perfect. 4H makes the steering feel heavy due to the front wheel constantly being engaged.
Ditto what everyone else is saying. 4A is critical in inclement weather. Deal breaker for me, too.
I hate 4a so not a big deal for me.
I like the 402av, but the paint on the right is amazing
Not pointed out but the headlights on the 402A are the dynamic bending lights, where the 401A is just basic LED lights.
402a wins for me. Pano sunroom, ultimate premium sound system, auto 4x4, digital display and those gorgeous seats! Take my money.
Nice comparison...
Neither. In the f150 I want super cab with 6ft bed, a v8, and no fold down shifter
Ben my boss is getting me a tremor cause I’ve been a good boy 😍 bricked up rn
Do they both have lane centering cuz thats a must have option for me since i’m driving on highways a lot
What’s the difference between the 400a and the 401a?
Ben why does the Less expensive Tremor (White) 401A have front sensors and the more Expensive (Blue) 402A Not have them?
I have a question, can the tailgates of both trucks be powered up and down? Thanks!
i
I HOPE, that since the tremor has the blacked out Ford logo that MAYBE that is a hing that the 22’s F150 will bring back that black appearance package option.
Thumbs Down dude! You mentioned some of the costliest upgrades on the higher end one like they weren't a big deal then go and say the other one is a better value. If those features, like the sound system, way better seats, heated rear seats, etc. really are something people want, then the extra cost is very much justified. Me personally? If I'm going to drop close to $70k on a truck, I'm getting all the bells and whistles.
The 402A also gives you many upgrades that aren't specifically listed when you click on the two different options. The upgrades with the High package include: Tow Technology Package, Ford Co-Pilot Assist 2.0, BoxLink, Power Sliding Rear Window, 360 degree cameras, Active Park Assist, Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, Wireless Charging Pad, LED Projector with light bending headlamps, LED tail lamps, unique leather trimmed seats, and the 12" productivity screen. Many of the things on this list are extremely useful and were an easy justification for the increased cost.
What about the gas tank? They offer a 36gal tank on the trucks as well.
I bought the 401A cause I loved the interior. Sound system is something I always change. The one thing I wish it had…. Heated steering wheel.
It’s fucking nonsense that you need the high trim for that. This isn’t 2002.
How much you end up spending on yours?
I spent 74k for 401A total!
Nice to see a comparison but you missed something - you did not cover the driver assist controls - does the more expensive one have blind side warning and adaptive cruise control and lane keeping assist while the cheap does not or do they both have them? Those really make the difference to me.
Folks don’t be misled. The 402A package is a better deal. The biggest thing missed in the review is that the 402A has the Raptor transfer case, whereas the 401A does not. This is why the 402A has an AWD and the 401A does not. This is a huge difference for ON-ROAD driving as the Raptor transfer case uses a Torque on Demand (TOD) system when in 4A and a Hi-Lock mechanics instead of a clutch when in 4H and 4L. The TOD 4A system is much much better in rain, mud, and snow on the pavement than the standard system in the 400A and 401A package. I don’t know how much this costs but I’ll bet the price difference is largely based on this. Ben love your reviews, but if you catch this comment, keep it mind going forward. It’s a big deal.
I have the 401 a and it has the Torsen front differential. It was 8 or 900 and it also has the b&o sound system. Learn what you are talking about
Think the biggest thing for me is the seats - the camo cloth is an absolute deal breaker for me. Just can't do it. Truck is amazing, though.
Are you able to add the sun roof to the 401a??
what is cause of differnce in towing capacity?? all i would think would be axle ratio!
Should put more emphasis on the much DIFFERENT powertrain. The auto transfer case is a always used BIG difference. Deserves more detail than the Tremor stickers being the same.
I like to see the 400A package. For someone who want more functional and less bells and whistles.
There is
are they both power folding side mirror?
Wonder if you could get the 402 for the 401 price if you came with cash in full…
Is this truck about the size of a f150 or smaller? Looking to get a truck for my 6’7 self lol and need leg room and a good backseat for my daughter to ride in a booster seat.
Is the moonroof in the 402A or you gotta add it?
Almost $2k of that price difference is the roof, which is not standard on the 402a. It is an extra.
Yup. Hes not accurate in his videos often
Just recently bought a 2023 401a in gray metallic. Honestly unless you really need the extra features the 401a will be your better choice. Luckily mine came with the moon roof already as an option. Like the video showed the details for the upcharge really are the headlights, taillights and the interior. Not worth imo.
What’s the payload for each?
...Yup, another $90K 1/2 ton Truck I could never afford !! Thanx Ford !!
Still cheaping out on leaving out LEDs on the expensive trims even though it's a "base" it's still a Tremor. And the biggest annoyance is how they still charge extra for the wheel well liners. Expensive as crap and they still don't finish building it.
Awesome video. This video help me decide on my order. I just placed an order at my MN ford dealer for the 401A 2022 F150 Tremor w/front torsen diff, Antimatter blue. The projector bulbs though in the 402A is just awesome, but not workth the 8k upgrade with all the other ammenities. Ill trade in the tried and true 2019 F150 2.7. It probably will be late spring/early summer 2022 before I see this truck, but looking forward to it!
For me personally the 402a is the beteer option. I have a 2023 402a and i love it. I especially love the dynamic bending headlights. Also the Torsen front end works with 4 auto so thats pretty sweet.
Ben, Aren't the LED headlights on the 401(A) more powerful than the projector headlights on the 402 (A)?
The projector lights in the 402A are LED projectors, and they turn when the truck turns. I had that on a Lincoln suv but did not expect it on my tremor. I have the 402A and could not love it any more, it is perfect.
If you are shopping for this kind of truck check out the F-150 Rocky Ridge edition $67k
Great video...just ask one thing. Slow down when you change views - I'm getting car sick!!!! Thanks!!!
Yes
I feel like if I don’t stick with my raptor that this will be my next trucj
only thing big is the full leather seats. If I am able to upgrade the seat only I will go for that
I'll take both, there so nice. Forget the other copy cats. Ford always has to stay ahead of the competition.
Think this is better than the trx
I thought the 2021 did not come with 12 screens
Cool 🇺🇸 flag etched into the side of the front vents. Can see it when you open the doors. Good touch Ford!
Seems as if the 401a is very similar to the 302a XLT, and the 402a is similar to the 502a Lariat
If this truck had a V8 I’d buy it today.
What truck are you buying since this one's not V8?
@@JosephDragunov 2022 GM Trucks. 6.2
Tundra
21’ F150 Base XL 4X4 Super crew $44K
Test drive the 3.5, it’s legit!
What's the price on this
some of these options arent distinctive of the higher trim, they are just addons that they chose to not put on the 401a, but anyone else could if they ordered one. example, the interior work surface
True . However, have you seen the dynamic projector headlights from the 21 raptor at night? They are insanely bright and awesome. In fact, those lights won a reward for the 21 F150 from NHTSA.
I switch my 22 f150 tremor order from 401a to 402a. A skipped in the sunroof though. Too easy for leaks, takes away from roof structure, and adds weight
Amazes me that these 60k+ trucks don't come with factory bed liners! 😂 Beautiful trucks though.
Can you get the 402 without the panoramic roof? I want that package but don't need that roof
I think so
Yes
Same, i hate sunroofs...
402A without question, much nicer
Looks like those touch screens are glitchy!
I’ve yet to see one of these in a color I didn’t like. It’d be a hard choice…
No mention of it in the video but do both packages come with the Torsen limited slip front differential?
No. Only available on 402A
@@hillbillydeluxe7135 I think that plus all the other features makes it worth the extra money.
Wrong. It’s available on the 401 for 800 dollars. I have it. And the b&o sound system and other items.
I'll never not get 4A again, it's just too nice for slick roads.
So wierd. I got the 402 tremor but I didn’t get the fold out work bench center council armrest. Lame.
Missing a SC 5.0
Only if it had a coyote
60k+ trucks and Ford cant even add wheel fender liners?🤦
People always talk about HP, they never start with 0-6 or 1/2 mile stats. HP means ZERO if you can’t go fast, a semi has a 1000 HP and so what… it’s about speed
Always buy a vehicle fully loaded unless it is a work vehicle and will be worked hard and never washed.
People drove with a column shifter for years ..... the fold down shifter is just a big waste of money and design from Ford ...... you can have the flip down work area .... with a normal column shifter ..... and then you get more storage for your phone ...... these trucks should have power folding mirrors ............. 40 k Rams have power folding mirrors and a power sliding rear window !
But it's still a Dodge
But the column shifter sure is pretty and gives it a more premium feel.
@@MrBigBoy4Life I don't know, it feels kinda plasticy and cheap IMO. I wish mine has a column shifter like some of the other models. I just end up putting my phone on that space. Too bad I can't get a column shifter with this package.
Rear recovery hooks should be gold as well Ford blew that!
402A for me, I gotta have ventilated seats 😂
i just wish it had the 6.5ft bed.....
Me to I camp in my truck need a minimum 6 foot bed.
I have a poor man’s 2016 f150 and would love to upgrade to one of these. I just don’t think my truck has any value for a trade in for one of these
Interesting video but, you talk so fast that for me, I missed a good what you said. I could make a list of items you missed that come in the upper-end package but, that would be very long. I would suggest that anyone considering a new Tremor and is on the fence as to which package to purchase needs to do their own research.
Is the rebel better then the tremor im so Indecisive??i was hoping you could help me out with that.
Ram = Engine problems $$$$
Tremor can tow quite a bit more too
There both the same Ben used the white one two tow MORE COMPARRISONS
Neither one is a the best value because neither is a VALUE. They are too expensive and no lease option, ridiculous.
402a all day
You did not mention some of the available tech that comes with the truck that makes it worth it. Does the 1A or 2A have adaptive cruise control? That is a $500-800 option that is ABSOLUTLY essential. Things like that add up. I once drove from Midland Texas to El Paso Texas and only touched my brakes 3 times because of the adaptive cruise control.
That 401a had it
I would go for the 402A package. 11:29
