FORD RANGER TREMOR

THE FULL PACKAGE

Ford has added a new trim level to its mid-size pickup for all off-road lovers. The Ford Ranger Tremor will boast a number of goodies that will enhance its trail-riding capabilities. The Tremor package will fall below the Raptor combining the best of all applications yet maintaining daily drivability for the average commuter. Although the first time you will find the Ranger with such goodies it is available on Super Duty models as well as the best-selling truck in America, the F-150.

WHAT’S NEW?

Offered in the crew cab configuration, the Tremor package is upgraded with all-terrain tires, great for tackling any road conditions, skid plates to protect the undercarriage for peace of mind, an upgraded suspension for additional clearance and comfort, and a locking rear differential controlled electronically from the cockpit. The package will also include metal side steps for ease of entry and exit into the cabin, an auxiliary switch panel with six switches, and Tremor graphics to tie it all together.

PERFORMANCE NUMBERS

When popping the hood, you will see it retains the same engine as other trim levels, sporting a 2.3L four-cylinder engine producing 270 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque. The 0-60 mph time is unexpectedly healthy with a time of 6.5 seconds. The Tremor’s 7,500-pound towing capacity will remain the same, but the payload is affected by just 130 pounds down to 1,430. Combined mpg will fall in at an estimated 19 mpg which is quite acceptable with larger, upgraded tires.
