For those who went to a Tremor Super Duty...

[NE Raptor]

I will add this to the mix. I always have a Raptor and Super Duty. Currently DD in 2020 6.7 F250 FX4 with the High Cap Towing Pkg(Same rear end and springs from the 350). The 2020 and up have the 10 speed tranny. Before I levelled the truck and changed the tires, I consistently got over 20 mpg running 80+ on Texas highways. Pretty nice for a truck this heavy. Now I get 17-17.5 over all on 35s and Fox/Icon level kit (much better than the shocks on the Tremor).
I routinely put 70k miles per year on these trucks and tow trailers up to 14000# regularly. In 7-8 Superduties since 2012, I have not had one in the shop for anything other than a bad particulate sensor. That is driving on West Texas lease roads daily along with tons of highway miles. You can't beat these trucks. I did drive the 7.3 gas and was unimpressed.
Just my .02. Feel free to pm me with any additional questions.

good stuff man - thank you

Get the diesel. Buy an extended Ford factory warranty. Get the 48 gallon tank which I believe requires an 8 ft bed. Consider your rear end ratio options carefully if you plan on bigger rims/tires.

If you don't want the longer bed but want more fuel capacity, I added the RDS 63 gal angle tank (99 total with factory tank). Gravity feeds. Get 14-1500 miles per fill up now. Cost ~$1000 installed and had it Rhinolined to get away from all the chrome. Still leaves room for gooseneck ball.

Do you have a link to that? I’m personally curious.

That’s why it’s tough to beat a diesel.

Do you maintain your vehicles yourself/have your own mechanic, or do you to take them into Ford to be serviced?

I have the oil changed every 10k and fuel filter every 20k. Tires rotated every ~10k. In cabin filter every month. Caliche dust is a bitch.
Absolutely nothing else. I take them to a place called Quality Brake and Lube in Fredericksburg Tx where I live. Never there longer than 30 mins and around $90 for the oil change. No time to wait for my small dealer to get to it. They sell the trucks to me at invoice and its always 1-2 texts to have a truck brought in (if they don't have one in stock) and ready to go when I get there. No bs. Great dealer.

My Tremor is a fully optioned Lariat, minus the dreaded moonroof and power running boards, which I did not want. I looked at the KR and Platinum packages, but the overriding factor for me was the Lariat Black package. I will not drive a vehicle with silver or chrome and I did not want to spend the money to paint/replace the chrome/silver items, so I stuck with the maximum Lariat features. With the Tremor, Lariat Ultimate and Lariat Black, it is a very nicely appointed Super Duty with all of the creature comforts I need. The Carli suspension and 37s will be the icing on the cake for me, and it will tow my 7000 lb TT across the country this summer without hardly breaking a sweat.

To answer your question, the MSRP was $78,765 and I paid $70,130, plus TTL, which in Texas is a 6.25% tax rate, so $74,700 OTD.

Plus, they delivered it 245 miles to my house on a Saturday at no additional charge. I did the whole deal over email with only a single phone call when I placed the order, and I never stepped foot in the dealership or even met the salesman! I did not pay an upfront deposit, there were no additional dealership fees, I did not finance through them, or have a trade-in, so they did not make any money on the "other" side of the deal. It was one of the easiest and least stressful vehicle purchases I have made in many years.

For those who are interested, here is my window sticker minus my VIN, so no one tries to steal it!

That is very nice, and I would be ordering one just like it (except with 7.3) if I could get the massaging seats on the Lariat. I was hoping the F-150 would be a package (like on SD), so that I could add it on to a King Ranch. I, too, don't want chrome, but I want towing mirrors and massaging seats. I've seen the option sheet on the F-150 Tremor, and the tow mirrors aren't on it. Wish I could get them on a Raptor lol.

I want larger mirrors with separate spot mirrors badly. The stock mirrors make the truck harder to drive.

Well I officially made the switch. Was able to find the right truck and strike a deal this weekend. Picked up this morning - first impressions are much different than driving a raptor obviously but it drives very nice and the diesel is just a torque monster

I will miss my raptor though so it was bittersweet!

Did you pick up the tremor from herb chambers in Westborough?
