F-150

Here’s a first look at the rumored Tremor off-road package for the new Ford F-150, which will slot between the entry-level FX4 rugged package and the range-topping Raptor.

Following in the footsteps of the Tremor package for the Super Duty and Ranger, the Tremor package for the F-150 has a suspension lift as its primary feature.

The vehicle seen here equips the Tremor pack with the XLT trim level, and seems to feature a unique grille. Around back is a dual exhaust setup, which has not been seen on the all-new ’21 F-150 as of this point in time. A set of unique black wheels are wrapped knobby all terrain tires measuring 275 70 R18.

Launch timing of the Tremor package for the F-150 is currently unclear, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see it for the ’21 or ’22 model years.
