A Deep Dive into Ford’s Off-Road Upgrade By Eastern Washington Dealer Jess Ford

When you think about off-road capability in a truck or SUV, ruggedness and performance are key. That’s where Ford’s Tremor Off-Road Package comes into play. Designed to boost your vehicle’s off-road prowess without compromising on comfort or towing capacity, the Tremor package offers a well-rounded solution for drivers who want to conquer trails, rough terrain, and tough jobs alike. 

In this article, we’ll explore what the Ford Tremor Package includes, the benefits it brings, and which models are available with this exciting off-road upgrade. Check out one of our YouTube videos where we go over an F-150 Tremor package HERE!

What Does the Ford Tremor Package Include? 

The Tremor Package is Ford’s answer to drivers who want more off-road capability, but also need the versatility of a daily driver or a powerful work vehicle. Ford engineered the Tremor package to enhance ground clearance, traction, and durability—making it ideal for off-road enthusiasts. 

Here’s a breakdown of the key features in the Tremor Off-Road Package: 

1. Upgraded Suspension System 

The Tremor package includes a lifted suspension, providing extra ground clearance to navigate rocky or uneven terrain more easily. It often includes longer-travel shocks to absorb bumps and dips, making for a smoother ride on rough trails. 

2. Larger, All-Terrain Tires 

The package equips the vehicle with 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires designed for off-road traction. These larger, more aggressive tires enhance grip on loose dirt, mud, sand, and rocks while maintaining stability on the highway. 

3. Improved Approach and Departure Angles 

By lifting the suspension and adjusting the body, the Tremor Package improves both the approach and departure angles. This allows the vehicle to climb over obstacles and descend steep slopes without scraping the bumpers. 

4. Skid Plates 

For added protection, the Tremor Package comes with heavy-duty skid plates to shield the undercarriage from rocks, stumps, and other debris you might encounter on rugged trails. 

5. Off-Road Tuned Dampers 

The monotube shocks in the front and twin-tube shocks in the rear are tuned specifically for off-road driving, providing better control and comfort on uneven terrain. 

6. Rear Locking Differential 

One of the Tremor package’s standout features is its electronic locking rear differential, which ensures that both rear wheels receive equal power, helping the vehicle power through tough, low-traction situations like mud or loose gravel. 

7. Trail Control and Rock Crawl Mode 

The Tremor package includes Trail Control, which acts like off-road cruise control, allowing the driver to focus on steering while the system manages acceleration and braking. In addition, Rock Crawl Mode fine-tunes the vehicle’s systems for optimal performance in low-speed, technical off-roading, such as climbing over large rocks or boulders. 

8. Off-Road Running Boards 

To protect the sides of the truck and provide a stable platform when getting in and out, the Tremor Package includes tough, textured running boards that are durable enough to handle rugged environments. 

Which Ford Models Offer the Tremor Package? 

Ford has made the Tremor Off-Road Package available across several of its most popular trucks and SUVs, ensuring that off-road capability is accessible regardless of the model you choose. Here are the models that can be equipped with the Tremor Package: 

1. Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty Tremor 

Ford’s heavy-duty workhorses, the F-250 and F-350, are often used for towing and hauling, but with the Tremor Package, they also become off-road champions. The package on these Super Duty trucks includes a 2-inch front-end lift, off-road-tuned suspension, and the same 35-inch tires and rock crawl mode that you’d find in other Tremor-equipped models. With the available 7.3L V8 or the 6.7L Power Stroke® Turbo Diesel, you can haul heavy loads and conquer tough trails all at once. Check out our 6.7L High Output YouTube video HERE!

2. Ford F-150 Tremor 

For those who need a light-duty truck with serious off-road chops, the F-150 Tremor is an ideal option. It gets a unique Tremor-specific suspension, including retuned springs and shocks, and the 35-inch all-terrain tires come standard. The F-150 Tremor also has the 3.5L EcoBoost® V6 engine, producing 400 horsepower and 500 lb-ft of torque, giving you power for both work and play. 

3. Ford Ranger Tremor 

The Ford Ranger Tremor offers a smaller, more nimble off-road experience for mid-size truck enthusiasts. Along with the larger all-terrain tires and off-road-tuned suspension, the Ranger Tremor comes with six auxiliary switches on the dashboard, perfect for adding accessories like a winch or off-road lighting. The Ranger Tremor is powered by the 2.3L EcoBoost® engine, providing a solid balance of fuel efficiency and off-road performance. 

4. Ford Bronco Tremor 

The Ford Bronco is already a fan favorite for off-road adventurers, but the Tremor package takes it to the next level. Along with the lifted suspension and larger tires, the Bronco Tremor offers front and rear locking differentials, bash plates, and upgraded suspension dampers for tackling rough terrain. The Bronco Tremor also comes with Trail Turn Assist, allowing the vehicle to pivot tightly on narrow trails. 

5. Ford Maverick Tremor 

For a more compact option, the Ford Maverick Tremor offers a unique off-road twist on this practical and fuel-efficient truck. The Maverick Tremor gets an advanced all-wheel-drive system, a 1-inch suspension lift, and exclusive Tremor design cues both inside and out. It’s perfect for weekend adventurers who need a smaller vehicle but still want off-road capability. 

Who Is the Tremor Package For? 

The Tremor Package is designed for those who want to take their truck or SUV off-road, but don’t need the full hardcore capabilities of something like the Ford Raptor. Tremor-equipped vehicles maintain their ability to tow, haul, and handle everyday driving, while also excelling in off-road environments. 

This makes the package ideal for: 

• Weekend Adventurers: People who like to hit the trails on weekends but need a practical truck for daily driving. 

• Workers in Tough Terrain: Those who use their trucks on farms, construction sites, or other rough environments where off-road performance is a must. 

• Outdoor Enthusiasts: Anyone who enjoys camping, hiking, or off-roading will appreciate the extra ground clearance and trail-focused features. 

Conclusion 

The Ford Tremor Off-Road Package adds serious off-road capability to several Ford models, including the F-150, Super Duty, Ranger, Bronco, and Maverick. With features like larger tires, a lifted suspension, skid plates, and advanced off-road modes, the Tremor package is perfect for drivers who want to explore rugged terrain without sacrificing the versatility and comfort of a Ford truck or SUV. 

If you’re looking to combine work and play with confidence on any trail, a Tremor-equipped Ford might be the perfect fit for you.
