In this episode of Brake Check we review the all new Ford F-250 Lariat Power Stroke 6.7 Diesel 4X4 with the new for 2020 TREMOR off road package. This is quite possibly the only off road focused truck that can tow with the big boys. But is the diesel hype really worth the premium? This is Brake Check, the KZfaq show where we rate vehicles on our Hipster Scale and give insight on "Who is this car for?" As well as give our thoughts on Interior, Exterior, Powertrain and Dynamics.

I got a 7.3 blacked out Lariat Tremor just before the WUflu . My only complaint is the mirrors drip wash water down the sides of the truck for 20 minutes after rinsing. I use my truck primarily for Surf Fishing and for beach trips I air down to 20 psi. I have a #15lb Powertank in the bed that airs up in less than 90 seconds per tire. I installed a Leitner Forged ACS to carry almost everything. I love the truck. The engine feels and sounds great when you hit the gas.

We now have the F350 7.3 Tremor, with only 2000 miles, (2 weeks old), past were (2) 6.7 Powerstrokes. I'm very impressed so far, if we needed to tow 20,000 every day, (like in the past) i'd still go diesel, but we're only towing part-time now. One thing I did the math on last night. based on today's fuel prices i'd need to travel 310,000 miles to make up for the cost of the diesel engine option alone, (based on my MPG on my trucks) nevermind the diesel maint costs. Still a diesel fan, but the 7.3 is a great option, and what's better than the sound of a big V8

How bad is the tire noise truly over a normal f 250 tire. My dream truck would be a tremor package with normal AT tires. I hate tire noise but love the lift and front limited slip. Also will the winch fit in the diesel? I hear it will only fit the 7.3 gas.

@TexasTruckChannel 3 жыл бұрын

Well... the duratracs are not the worst out there, but I would personally spend the money for something quieter like and BFG K02 or similar. That being said, Craig didn't mind them, I did. The normal XTL tire is silent. I am not sure about the winch, but I am sure the intercooler/radiator setup on the 6.7 is something that will need to be worked around. The 7.3 has a lot of room to work with up there. Thanks for watching, and commenting! -Bryan
