Might be saying goodbye to the Power Wagon.........for a Ford Tremor F350. Maybe.

Ha ha. I only have one good eye so no depth perception. The cameras are must have for me from now on. This is the first truck I've had with all the cameras and I think its awesome. Have the single back up cameras in other trucks but the surround view is just so good.

The front camera on the wagon came in handy for the first 20k as it took a while to get used to not being able to see over the hood.

Even though you still cant see over the hood, you do start getting good at it bahahahaha

The key is to build your truck big enough that it doesn’t matter what’s in front of you.

 

[thkbaron]

True that. Stock is lame.

 

[thkbaron]

Debating on canceling my tremor. I’ve heard of some 10 speed issues.

 

[thkbaron]

It’s canceled. I’m going to keep my truck for a while and see if I can work out the coolant smell and this ticking that comes and goes.

 

[olyelr]

Oh for fawk sakes

 

[crazy jerry]

Oh for fawk sakes

were you hoping he got the ford and never have to see him again

 

[thkbaron]

Something about it didn’t quite sit right. I have to see if I want a new truck or not I guess.

Buddy who works at a large dealership said lots 150's having tranny issues he said hd 7.3 are not coming back since the initial spark plug wire issue he has been a tech for over 40 years at same place. Said the explorers are terrible right now

Dammit Jim! I was hoping to get a Tremor review Lol


.

 

[thkbaron]

First part of the review is that the box looks like an afterthought. The cab is nice. The mirrors are ugly and the interior isn't as nice as RAM. Can't imagine why I ordered it. haha

 

[ramffml]

That box is pretty nasty isn't it? I like the 100% front view of the F150 and F250, but as soon as slip around the side... the middle to the rear bumper is wrong somehow, like a painted cardbox with no muscle lines or anything resembling thoughtful design. Not a fan of those trucks either.

 

[thkbaron]

yeah it's a real shame. The front what what sold me on the tremor. With the black package. I was hoping the box would grow on me. Funny I ordered it in white but absolutely don't want a ram in white. The power wagon is a close one but I'm in the air on if i want a 3500 or another wagon.

I walk by a Tremor every day I think it is way better looking than my Power Wagon. I talked to my buddy again and ask how many 7.3 gassers he has come in for warranty work and he said none since they first came out.

 

[crazy jerry]

there was a rash of 7.3 with bad plug wires. not sure if ford put a recall or tsb on it. plenty of videos and talk about it on forums

I disagree.
I don't care for the look of the Tremor any more than any other Ford(Raptor excluded)
The thing Ford does right IMO they offer the Tremor package in an F150 or F250 so you have a choice.
If I could have gotten a 1500 Power Wagon with the 6.4L I would have...
The Rebel package is a start but still no PW...

Traded my Wagon in on a 3500 DRW. I sure miss the PW but love the tow/payload ratings which made more since for me. I also bought a car as a DD so now I can shuffle vehicles around to leave them at the dealer for maintenance. So no more ******** from me about having to buy PUP online!

 

[Travelin Ram]

Mine will be gone within a week. I finally succumbed to the temptation to check KBB and drive by a CarMax. They’ll pay me 6k more for this truck than I bought it for BRAND NEW 2 years ago. That is nuts. Of course it’s really just A happy accident in market timing.

I can add a few thousand and move laterally into a gas Tremor that’s 3 model years newer. Or throw a few more logs on the fire and get a diesel. Haven’t decided yet.

I’m hoping to find a dealer that will match their offer or come close with a trade in, that will save me a bunch in sales tax. But if not, I’ll take the cash and recycle it. I just don’t want to share it with the government if I don’t have to.

Buddy got his new Ford on sunday took exactly 2 months like he was told. It is beautiful. It is going to be tough not moving that way myself. He has had two rams in a row, the one he sold to get this was a 5.7 and the one before that was a ram 2500 diesel.

interior on the ford is very nice. He got the black package and body to me trumps my ram. He picked it up in Billings and drove home to Missoula ie 340 miles and said brutal head wind and drove 80mph and got 11mpg. 7.3 with 4.30 gears. He did get shorted two options that he ordered due to supply shortage heated steering wheel and all weather floor mats. He said ford reimbursed him the cost of those two items.
