Sweet Truck and enjoy it! I have been looking at them too but not as a replacement for my Raptor. A tremor can be had in the low 50s if you get the gas engine. The diesel is a $10k option, but it literally doubles the torque rating compared to the gas rating. There are plenty out there on lots and Ford has some incentives out there too. I think I would have to install a front leveling kit and throw on a set of 37s.

I’ve been considering the same thing due to Raptor issues and as far as I can tell, it’s short enough to fit in my garage, by 2 inches...

I would probably go with the diesel but some reviews said it was too heavy to off-road.

My favorite thing in my Raptor is not slowing down for speed bumps or curbs. Wonder if I could get used to that..

Congrats on the new truck! Looks amazing!

A diesel in the 250 is a complete waste IMO. Not only does it hurt your off-road performance, but it drops your payload capacity too much to really take advantage of it's towing capacity.

Any Tremor is going to be noticeably less capable than a Raptor off-road. The best will be a F-250 with the 7.3 and the worst will be a F-350 with a diesel.

That’s a Texas sized truck! The 7.3L Godzilla motor was designed for extreme durability and will be going into RV’s, etc.

Nah, that's a baby. Long bed is the full size!

The Tremor package is cool, and I like the added lift. Still don't understand the point of an F250 though. F350 with diesel is the way to go on a SuperDuty to use the full potential.

Kills me when people go from a 1/2 ton gas truck to a diesel. Typically a diesel is needed only for pulling, and pulling a sizable load and doing it often; and a diesel is quite the size difference even in a regular bed diesel. 1/2 ton trucks gets around town much better than a diesel.

But it's all how a person wants to spend their money! The tremor package is sharp looking.

I’m surprised the guys haven’t asked you where you can get one under msrp and what mpg you get!

And then roll cage the raptor and tow it to events???

It's always surprising to hear people have so many issues with their '18. I ordered mine straight from the factory and it has been (knock on wood) bullet proof. Regardless, nice looking truck . . . good for a second truck, it's no where close as a replacement for what a Raptor can do.

Is it just me, or does the side view actually look kind of like an immense Tundra, except sexy-er-ish?

This size is why I stepped down to a Raptor too. My old truck was just too....everything...
Now Sometimes I think I still miss it.
