Ford Launches Off Road F 150 Tremor In The Middle East
Posted by Zaran Tarapore on Dec 13, 2020
The Ford F-150 is one of the best-selling lifestyle pick-up trucks in the world and for good reason. Expanding its footprint in the region, the American brand has announced the launch of an all-new off-road-oriented model, the F-150 Tremor.
“Like Super Duty Tremor and Ranger Tremor, introducing the all-new F-150 Tremor is a direct response to seeing how customers use our trucks to enable their outdoor lifestyles,” said Todd Eckert, Ford truck group marketing manager. “F-150 Tremor provides the additional off-road capability they’re looking for with our latest off-road technologies.”
Offering customers who are looking for a more focused off-road package than what is currently available on the FX4, the Tremor aims to deliver added capability without ignoring the core duties of a truck: outstanding towing and payload performance. Like every other F-150, Tremor uses a high-strength steel frame and a high-strength, military-grade, aluminum-alloy body. It comes in SuperCrew configuration with a 5.5-foot box, 3.5-liter EcoBoost® V6 engine, and 10-speed automatic transmission plus standard four-wheel drive.
The upgrade suspension includes retuned springs in the front and rear for added ground clearance. The front hub knuckles have also been revised to accommodate an additional 1.2 inches of running ground clearance, while Tremor-specific monotube shocks at the front and twin-tube shocks at the rear are tuned for softer damping at low speeds, with additional damping and control for more severe off-road driving.
Accompanying the revised suspension are new 33-inch General Grabber all-terrain tires mounted on unique matte-finish 18-inch wheels. A Raptor-style bash plate serves to protect front end components in challenging off-road situations. All of these modifications together result in an approach angle of 27.8 degrees, break-over angle of 21.6 degrees, and ground clearance of 10.9 inches.
The all-new 2021 Ford F-150 Tremor will be available next summer.
