2023 Ford F-250 Tremor Towing Test! Can This Off-Road Super Duty Still Handle Work?

Рет қаралды 32,477

Күн бұрын

We take the update 2023 Ford F-250 Tremor and hook up a 10,000lb trailer to see how it handles a load. For 2023 the Ford Super Duty can tow more, haul more and its better off-road. So of course we have to put those claims to the test!
Stay tuned for the full F-250 Tremor off-road video.

Just bought a nearly identical ‘23 F250 Tremor with a few more options (moonroof, upfitter switches etc). Oddly despite more options I have 3261 lbs of payload. Paid $68k which was $2k below sticker here in NY. Exceptional truck, pulls our travel trailer incredibly well with better fuel economy towing than my previous 1/2 ton. The ride in the new Superduty is incredibly nice for an HD truck. Even unloaded I don’t feel that I gave up much comfort to my 1/2 ton. Having always wanted a Powerwagon but never being able to get one due to the weak payload, I’m thankful to Ford for coming up with the perfect combination of offroad and towing/hauling capability. Can’t wait to see more great videos of this truck!

I tow 16k to 18k behind my truck, skid steer and MIni Excavators. I'm wondering which package to get. I like the 4.3 gearing on the Tremor but the payload is higher on just a non tremor standard F350 SRW XL or XLT, correct? It's hard to get the 4.3 rear end if you don't get the tremor pacakge. You can order one from the factory or buy a cab and chassis truck off the lot with the 4.3 rear but I'm trying to blend in to my neighborhood doubling it as a daily driver. And Cab and Chassis with flat beds are DOT magnets. I'm non CDL.

I couldn't find a 23 tremor so bought a fx4 put the tremor rear block and u bolts adding a elocker up front and a small 1 1/4"lift. 35.3 m/ts fit at stock height no rub so all in I'm looking at about 4000 dollars added to have simular capability but a real locker up front. I still would've got a tremor if I could have found one without getting gouged but overall I'm coming out much cheaper this way. I believe the trail turn assist will be the only thing I'll be missing but pretty sure I wouldn't use that where I offroad dragging tires on jagged rocks will tear them up anyway.

I could be wrong but I think the only difference is the leaf spring block is 3 1/4" vs the regular 2" blocks. Also tremor shocks. My fx4 is identical except the shocks and 1 1/4" higher blocks. I do have the 10,500 lb package so that might be why my axle and springs are the same.

Tremor is one of the only trucks that comes with 4.30 gears. If you buy the 3.73 gear with 32 or 33 inch tires and then throw 35 or 37 inch tires, it will decrease your towing power. Right? I would imagine the real world gear ratio in terms of pulling power would be about the same with 3.73 gears and smaller tires vs 4.30 gears with 35's.

I always love to hear the non diesel owners try to rationalize why they got the gasser when deep down they just didn’t want to pony up the 12k (American dollars). When in reality it’s cheaper to own the diesel (if you keep your truck greater then a few years) because of the huge difference in mileage. So doing the math including maintenance you get your 12k back in about 5 years if you actually use your truck as a daily driver like I do. The fact is that the diesel does every single thing better than the gasser does and does it 10 times better. And yes the diesel option for the Tremor, because it’s the new High Output diesel cost 12k (American) but the regular diesel that you can get in almost every other trim level is 9950k (American). I didn’t believe the diesel Tremor was actually going to get 18 miles in the city and 21 on the highway until I saw it myself and did the hand calculations (not the lie-o-meter). And towing about the same weight on the highway it gets about 13 - 15 depending on conditions.

@rockie307 10 ай бұрын

The diesel does pull better but most folks buying a tremor are doing so for off road ability. The diesel weights several hundred lbs more up front making it much less capable offroad and also wearing out the suspension bearings tierods etc much faster. Also diesel has trouble idling offroad on slow trails will break down become much more expensive. Off road the gas engine is better in every way actually also you probably didn't add breakdowns and shop time to your expense comparisons. Insurance on the diesel is higher too so financially and off road the gas engine is better Pulling heavy loads down the highway the diesel wins. Pick the best tool for the job your doing or just pick what you like free country.

@FlyingAceAV8B 6 ай бұрын

What I find funny is when diesel fans tell us all about how much they save in fuel by totally excluding the 1-1.50/gal additional fuel cost on a good….while also not mentioning the additional cost of DEF. Yea bro, you’ll really make that 10-12k price difference with all that fuel you will “save” over about 10 years. Diesel fans sound very much like electric car owners who love you tell about not needing to go to the gas station for 5 mins but never mention the hours they spend sitting at chargers that may or may not work in shady areas. All I gotta say is, cool story bro.

@jimsmarketingcode3147 10 ай бұрын

To save an extra $7000.00 from not buying a diesel sounds stupid as most people finance their truck unless you have more money than brains but that is a small percentage, it's going to cost you another 60.00 a month when you finance so I would go with the diesel over the gas just to know I have more torque than not enough going uphill.

@jackpitw 9 ай бұрын

It's $12,495 extra which equates to more like $200 more a month. $60 a month would take over 17 years to pay off that cost and that doesn't include interest. Diesel certainly has more HP and Torque but it is a lot more $ than you mention.

What’s wrong with Duratrac? At one point they came on practically all off-road focused trucks. Power Wagon, ZR2, F250 Tremor. I use them on all my trucks and Jeep. Awesome tires. Excellent in dry, in wet, on snow and even ice. No hydroplaning. Great traction on and off road. Only drawback I found is that it will reduce your fuel efficiency by about 2 MPG. On 8,000 pound vehicles (actual weight not GVWR) I can get about 35,000 miles out of a set. Not cheap though but quality never is in life.
