My biggest pet peeve on these new trucks is that you pay an ungodly number for a truck and the factory doesn’t even bother putting in a bed liner. Same with my new ranger I bought a couple months ago. I had to go get my own bed liner put in.
That's ok with me. I prefer a linex bedliner over factory spray in. Lifetime warranty as long as you keep the vehicle. My 19 came with a drop in bedliner which I eventually took out
@@joshualake4882 I agree linex is better. It just pisses me off when I bought a $30k truck and I have to turn around and buy a bed liner. I went with a drop in liner. So far it’s been pretty good
@@joshualake4882 that’s what I did. I bought my first new truck ever. 2021 ranger. It’s an awesome little truck. I’ve got 25k miles on it right now and I have really enjoyed it. If you don’t need the capability of a bigger truck, it’s a great choice.
Good comparison. I remember when the FX4 was a trim level. The Tremor occupies that level now. You can order a Lariat with the FX4 package and the 3.73 gear ratio rear end. It wouldn't take much to convert the suspension of an FX4 package to the Tremor suspension.
Good review. I opted for the Lariat FX4 since 95% of use will be on-road with off-road mostly in fall during hunting season and that not being overly aggressive off-road use. I wanted the 4-auto four wheel drive option for winter driving in MN and the Lariat at 500 and 501 levels will be pretty equal to the Tremor in price, load and towing. It is pretty amazing the number of ways an F-150 can be configured. Just for fun, I went to the Ford website and built both vehicles, selecting the same packages/options for each. The Tremor Mid-level cost $2000 more than the equivalent XLT 302A FX4, so that is the real comparison. I'm sure the $2000 covers the suspension upgrade and the better front differential found on the Tremor. The Tremor High-level would compare feature-wise to the Lariat 502A and you would find a similar price differential. Bottom line for me is, if I intended to do a lot of off-roading, I agree the Tremor would be worth the extra $2000. If, however, I'm only occasionally go off-road and then not on any off-road challenging trails, the FX4 is the best package and is more cost effective.
Hey Ben, great video! One interesting thing to point out, the FX4 does not have auto-start/stop. I have ordered an XLT and was recently contacted by Ford and offered faster delivery if I opted to have the auto-start/stop removed. I was like heck yes! I was very curious if they were going to keep the auto-start/stop button, blank it out, or what the heck they would do. I'm happy to see that the button has been blanked out (and just not functional or worse, glowing amber all the time). It looks like your FX4 was produced during this time. Thanks for sharing. One suggestion, there are not very many reviews regarding the lighting in the evening the differences between the 3 headlights and the standard/LED taillights.
all 2022 Fords do not include Auto S/S at this point. chip issue. Just ordered a F150 2 days ago. Built sheet lists Auto S/S removed. Also saved $50. so ford basically paid me $50 not to install it.
I want functionality. I cannot care less about badging, stickers, and orange highlights. That should shave off a thousand or two from the price when the stupid marketing gimmicks are eliminated.
It has changed in 2024. If you want Lariat type package, the Tremor is almost $75,000. Meanwhile, dealers are discounting FX4 Lariats, and you can get powerboost and 7.2K pro power on board. Just picked one up, the Tremor was going to be $13,000 more. One problem is most dealers don't even carry Tremors, so there aren't many out there. Meanwhile, dealers have many FX4 Lariats sitting on their lots, and they are dealing. The dealer I bought from had ten FX4 Lariats and zero Tremors.
I would consider the Tremor, but the only configuration you can get is the supercrew with shortbed and V6. This is everything I would not choose. I need a longbed and prefer a supercab and V8 engine. It's unfortunate that Ford only offers the Tremor in that one configuration. Also, putting the tailpipes in the rear was a mistake. They're just gonna get scraped.
Great comparison and review. I agree the Tremor is a far better value. I just seen a Lariat Fx4 loaded on a lot and it was $71K, pretty much the same as a tremor. the Lariat had highway tires and smaller wheels/tires than the Tremor for the same cost as a loaded Tremor. The Dealer's response was the Lariat will ride 10x's nicer and still off-road capable. I do not agree with that, and the Tremor overall looks unique and doubt it will ride that much different.
One difference I've been trying to understand better is the safety - the NHSTA appears to give the Tremor a rollover risk that's 68% higher than the rollover risk of the FX4, presumably because the Tremor has a higher center of gravity with the same width. Do people see any validity to that? I've got a family with young kids so the rollover risk and lower safety rating are quite important to me.
So 2 off road packages, what about suspension, ball joints, etc? Same? The Tremor is usually running an inch taller in the susp + larger tires, what's going on underneath? Any beefier parts on the Tremor?
What about the optional $500 Torsen Front Differential offered on the Tremor? The Torsen differential actually persuaded me to spend more ordering a Tremor over a Jeep Gladiator Rubicon.
The tremor is going to be first truck very soon. Haven’t soon any dealerships in my area with the 401a package. It’s either the 400 or 402. $51K vs $68K.
People just gotta have that Raptor but since they cannot afford it a Tremor will do. Impressive the amount of Raptors I see around my neighborhood. 80k plus truck selling like hot bread well played Ford.
What about other features. The tremor seems to lack some quality features. Does it have heated seats standard? 2 zone climate control. Etc? Which trim was the fx4? Xlt?
I was at Ford dealership in CO and seen the F-150 Rocky Ridge edition that makes the Tremor look like a toy truck. It was $67k. Would love to see Rocky Ridge vs the TRX.
@@Jackjack-cc2mj yeah it's off road package not performance package. So all the new ones at the Ford dealership are unwarranted....yeah we believe you.
This video is focused on badging, stitching, and cup holders. Great to decide which truck you want to drive to the mail, but what about suspension, ground clearance and other things that matter when you actually drive off road?
If your focus in on the keys and you’re passing over the shocks without even focusing the camera you got this job and an off-road version totally wrong.
I wish the tremor package was just that, a package I can add on to lariat, with black appearance package like in the super duties. The F250 tremor w/black appearance package looks amazing .. the F150 version .. meh.
Thanks Ben. Two questions: I thought the Tremor was advertised with 35" tires and a big sell was the Torsen front differential. Can you comment on these?
Just bought a 21 fx4 XLT. Not a big off road guy so the fx4 has more than enough to handle my off road needs. I like the tremor but selection in my area is very slim picking. I would have still bought the fx4 XLT. For me.
Please do some more research on the trucks before making comparison videos. FX4 can be ordered with 3.55 or 3.73. Headlights are unrelated to tremor vs fx4 also.
The Tremor is it’s own trim level and only comes in one configuration of 3.5l motor, super crew, 5.5’ bed. The Fx4 is an add on package that can be added on to a lariat xlt trim, for example. So if I want a super crew with 6.5’ bed then I can’t get a a tremor.
There is also more price difference than he covered in the video for some reason. Just because the two trucks he pulled out were similar in price, doesn't mean that a like-for-like on every option would be. He said a few things that just weren't relevant, and skipped A LOT that would actually be informative. Like the 3.73 rear on the Tremor isn't a Tremor thing, my FX4 has a 3.73 rear. Also the Tremor has three trim levels, 400a (STX equivalent) 401a (302a XLT equivalent, what we saw in this video) and 402a (Lariat 502a equivalent). So stuff like comparing the headlights and that is meaningless without mentioning you can have a Tremor with the outstanding adaptive headlights like a 502a Lariat instead of the static reflector LED headlights shown.
@@ng2002guy I know. It’s funny that he always just gives the width in mm. Which tells us absolutely nothing lol. It drives me crazy. I like Ben though solid dude
I got a black 401a with trailer pro, 360 cameras, and pedal adjusted power. I might sell it for 62k. 60k MSRP. 120 miles. Message me lol. Hype isn’t worth this truck.

you will lose the 2k quickly in resale value as the Tremor will be more desirable + admit it, the tremor interior looks much better.

I don't think people understand how badarss the Fx4 suspension is and has been. Everyone under estimates it nowadays and it's mind blowing.
This video is great to compare the lights, stitching, and badging, but what amount suspension, ground clearance, etc?
I'm glad Ford kept the analog gage for the lower trims

I agree about the tail pipe for off road use. Terrible idea.
The best option would be a tremor RCSB. Supercrew is the worst possible option for off road
The Torsen front diff is where it's at , I wouldn't even consider ordering a Tremor without one equipped
I got a tremor today so happy with It!!!

I love the tremor grill better than the fx4 grille ;)
You could get the fx4 on the lariat too, since the fx4 package on this on is a xlt. Search up a f-150 lariat fx4 the grill is similar

Hey Ben Good information. Do you know if the Tremor has the optional 6 1/2 ft. bed?
