I've watched a few of these videos of the Ford Super Duty Tremor off-road showcase. The more I watch people run this course the more I want a Tremor with a 7.3L gasoline engine! Almost a Raptor.... STILL a Super Duty and EXACTLY what I want/NEED! I love that 7.3L V8 and I think that it will be the perfect replacement for my 6.8L V10 that I've been waiting for.

That's what it has been designed to do, and I think it's successful. It's been a while since I drove a 6.2 gas, but I don't remember it being anything special.

I wish they would, too...but you have to remember that manufacturers respond to consumer demand. The average person likes the convenience of turning a knob (Ram 1500 doesn't have a column or console shift anymore!). Plus, the transfer case lever takes up valuable real estate in the center console, where most people would rather have a cupholder, wireless phone charger, etc.

Personally, I like the ESOF with the NV273 (BW4462) transfer case over the MSOS with the NV271 (BW4465) transfer case. ESOF - electric shift on the fly / MSOS - manual shift on stop. The NV273 (BW4464) is activated via electric motor while the NV27 (BW4465) is shifted with the manual lever in the floorboard. That said......I DO NOT like the "unit bearings" on the spindles of the front Dana 60 axle. The unit bearings are plastic encased....throw away. I much prefer the durable, reliable and serviceable Timken bearings. The front hubs with the ESOF / NV273 (BW4464) system are activated via solenoid and vacuum lines. Definitely convenient......but much less durable and reliable over the manual locking hubs with the 'free' and 'lock' position settings. The electric motors that are used to engage the transfer case on the NV273 (BW4464) are very durable and reliable. There is as much and maybe more chance of having problems with the linkage used to engage the NV271(BW4465) transfer case. IMHO......the best setup is to have the ESOF on the NV273 (BW4464) transfer case with DynaLoc Heavy Duty Free Spin Hubs made by DynaTrac.....which are manual "free and lock" hubs...very durable and reliable with the Timken bearings. The New Venture (NV) transfer cases (NV273 electric and NV 271 manual) were used in 2016 and older Super Duty trucks. New Venture was previously New Process - either buy out or name change several years ago. The Borg Warner (BW) electric transfer case (BW4464) is used on 2017 and newer Super Duty trucks. The Borg Warner (BW) manual transfer case (BW4465) is not used

You don't want underhood insulation on a diesel. It doesn't make any discernable difference for noise, and it keeps your engine too warm in the summer. I got rid of mine on both my 6.0l and 7.3l powerstroke and vented the hoods. They both run much cooler.

Why won’t ford offer the camper package with the Tremor? If I place a 2500 pound camper in the bed will this void my entire warranty? Will this make truck dangerous to drive despite the payload being 3300 pounds ,( with driver only).?
@TheRVConnection
@TheRVConnection 4 жыл бұрын
If they don't offer it with Tremor, it's because of the off-road suspension. Packages like these tend to use off-road specific (softer) shocks and springs for better articulation off road. That's why a Ram Power Wagon is only rated to tow 10,000 pounds, even though it is a 2500 series truck. That being said, I don't think carrying a 2500 pound camper would necessarily void your warranty, but the back may sag under the weight and may require air bags, which may defeat the purpose of off-road specific springs/shocks. You may be better off with a standard F-350 4x4 with single rear wheels, and just fitting it with bigger tires/wheels, etc. Unless you plan on hard-core off road (which you can't do with a camper on board anyway) this should work fine.

I made the mistake of driving the 6.7 before the 7.3 lol. The 7.3 is a dog after jumping on a new power stroke! What really crazy is even with traction control on the third gen engine break traction and Chirps 35” tires in the first three gears. The computer limits the engine to only producing 550 foot pounds of torque in two wheel Drive in the first three gears. The computer lets the 1050 foot pounds loose in fourth gear and you feel it. A way around that is to launch in 4 high traction control off and in tow haul mode to Lengthens each gear!!! That will blow your mind and after that you won’t owe a 7.3 beside it’s a first year engine why F would you buy that? Let’s be Honest if you’re looking to save 10 grand why would you be getting into a super duty to begin with. I’m already getting 17 mpg with mine and that’s after launching it a bunch and in town driving. A 7.3 you be luck to get 13 mpg and that would surprise me.

Sounds awesome...glad you're enjoying the Power Stroke. The 7.3-liter gas engine is also very strong, and though I definitely see your point about a new engine, it's a pretty standard OHV V-8 layout that Ford has a lot of experience with. Personally, after having owned a diesel before, I think I would still go with the gas engine unless I planned to tow really heavy. Lower initial cost and much lower maintenance costs over time. But, it's personal preference, for sure. Thanks for watching the channel.

The fifth wheel towing capacity depends on how the truck is configured. You can download the Ford tow ratings guide here: www.fleet.ford.com/resources/ford/general/pdf/towingguides/2020%20Ford_RVandTrailerTowingGuide_Sep26.pdf. Any fifth wheel hitch should work provided it has adequate capacity and the weight of the trailer does not exceed the truck's tow rating or payload rating. Personally, I wouldn't get the adaptive steering, but if you tow a lot or drive off road, it might be worth it.

Wrong...unless you'll be towing more than 20,000 pounds on a regular basis. Only then does the extra cost of a diesel, its significantly higher cost of ownership and its higher fuel cost can make sense. A diesel has a higher resale value, but it costs about $10K more, so it all balances out. Crunch the numbers for yourself and you'll see. If you're towing 10-15,000 or so, (which is about what the average RVer tows) a gas truck will be more than adequate.
