I see a few Raptor to Tremor posts...I am likely going this route as well
Do you regret it??? Did you go gas or diesel and why?? I am thinking of making the switch to a diesel Tremor. I had some recent major issues with my Raptor that may force me to move on from it unfortunately because I love the truck - best all around vehicle I have owned until now...
I tow a fair amount especially in the winter so a Tremor would certainly be up for the challenge, I am just thinking I will miss the all around fun I have driving the raptor everyday. 1050 ft/lbs doesn't sound all that boring either though! It would be my first diesel so not quite sure what I am in for - anyone have experience with these in extreme cold and did you have issues with fuel gelling?
Will you regret making the Switch? maybe. as cool as the Tremor is, and don't get me wrong it IS cool. it's simply hard to justify the 4300$ price tag. I say this as a current Raptor and Tremor owner.
The main problem with the cost comes down to what exactly you get out of it. Raptor modes, full time E Locker, f@$king garbage shocks, tires, cool wheels but whatever and a sticker.. for 4300!! and
@zombiekiller has a point on why to just get a Lariat and go with a Carli kit. the SD Tremor package would be worth it if it came with some of the styling and features the upcoming F150 Tremor will have, which we can hope the SD eventually gets but I'd bet that won't be till 2023 when the refreshed Super Duty comes out.
ok so with that out of the way as to what is annoying about the Tremor, to answer your questions.
I went with Diesel for a few reasons, first I have 2 trailers one of which is a flat deck which I plan to use to haul my Gen 1 Raptor down to some EXO runs.. whenever the border opens up! I also wanted a Diesel because I'd seen guys getting crazy MPG out of the 6.7 and to me, 18 MPG is mind blowing. I've owned 7.3s, 6.0 and 6.4 Super Dutys and NONE got over 10. my Tremor is getting 18 in the city and 22 on the Highway.
I'm also up in Canada and it get damn cold.. last week it was minus 50. the fuel didn't gel up, she ran just fine. granted I let her idle for a good 45 min because it took a long ass time to get the engine warm.
why did I go with a Tremor? well.. I also had a 19 Platinum F350 Dually and after 20k miles the computer was fried and Ford had no way to fix it. and since we don't have lemon laws up here I had 2 options, either wait it out or have the dealer buy it back and get a new truck. luckily they had a 2020 F350 Tremor sitting there and Diesel SDs are hard to come by with Covid.
I like the Tremor since I don't have any of these new modes or comforts in my Gen 1, there's a world of difference between my 13 Raptor and my 20 Tremor.
At the end of it you should ask yourself if you're really getting the most out of your Raptor to justify it, or if a Tremor/ Super Duty would be more practical.
will also say this, it's F@$KING hilarious when people see these, plus my wife's Jeep SRT on the driveway lol.
