Gonna miss my 2019, had good times and put 20,000 miles on it with a goose tune Cobb, Roush exhaust and AFe intake. Bought a 2021 Tremor for the towing for my boat and have to say I missed my old diesel too. My Raptor gave me some incredible times exploring Death Valley and Mojave deserts and hope the new chapter with this tremor will be some more of the same. Who knows I maybe back some day! Best of luck to you all.

Not yet, ordered floor mats, seat covers etc. Headed this week to look at my options for four wheel campers etc. I will eventually have it on 37’s, rims etc but not in a hurry like I was to get all the stuff done on my Raptor. I never felt my raptor was fast enough. This truck takes away that feeling it needs to be any different. The tremor package gives it a good stance and clearance. Pretty happy with it the way it is

Cool! What did you get for trade and discount on Tremor? I also have a 2019 Raptor with around 20k miles and just curious.

Tremor is a sweet truck. How is the ride compared to the Raptor?

I got 68,000 to leave it with the stereo, canopy and tune/exhaust/intake on it. They offered 64,000 but I held out for 68,000. I got the tremor for 2,000 under sticker 82,000. I have owned a 80’s f350 a 2000’s f250 and dodge 2500. This 350 rides so much better empty. Haven’t had it off road but will post back. On the street it’s perfect

i had a thread cross shopping a Tremor w/ a new Raptor after having my 2018 totaled....#1 initially some people questioned the comparison but seems like plenty of guys shop em against each other, #2 I also agree I was astonished how well these new superduties ride unladen, amazed.

what I don’t get is thinking the Raptor ain’t “fast” enough....I see you had a tune, did you just add a lot of weight to the truck or something w/ a lot of gear? My 2018 Raptor was tune only & lack of power/speed was completely @ the bottom of my issues list, in fact I found it to be the perfect combo of speed/size/ride comfort & overall performance for my DD needs

coming from a guy w/ a 700whp Z06 & SCd waverunner etc lol- I’m no newb to speed & the Raptor doesn’t disappoint me in that dept

if doing a lot of heavy pulling makes sense you went w/ the HD- if you wanted a more powerful/faster crazy offroad truck @ that price point.....was the TRX off the list due to brand bias? ;-)

As far as how something feels to a person I’ve learned a long time ago that everyone has an opinion, politics, religion etc. As for me it was the disappointment of Trading in my 6 cylinder naturally aspirated mustang for a second slower 0-60 in this truck. Drove it home and was very disappointed with its pull. It was much better with goose tuned and the bolt ons but not what I expected or hoped for. As for its ride in the washes etc best I every felt on a stock vehicle. Nothing like my long travel kit on my side by side but still fun. I did buy the 350 for it’s ability to pull my boat and that 1000 ftlb of torque!
