Tremor towing?
I am going to move from my cclb 2017 lariat to a ccsb 2021. I love the fuel capacity, but hate the size and inability to take the truck anywhere. I use the long bed to its capacity maybe once a year on an elk hunt, and even then the length of the vehicle is a problem.
I tow a fairly large fishing boat about 5k miles a year. It’s a triple axle trailer and weighs probably in the 12k range. What impact will the Tremor package have on towing? Does it de-rate capacity by a large margin? I looked at one on a lot, and the max payload sticker was only 300lbs less than my current 350. Oh, and I am going to get a 250 because CALIFORNIA sucks with 350 registration fees.
thx

Compared to your current truck, yes. You get a limited slip up front, leftover chrome PVD wheels painted black, an extra traction control profile, and a couple of crooked stickers on the bedsides. .

Right. The same hitch he pulls his triple-axle boat trailer from.

Is their a difference in overall height between the 250 and 350 tremors?
Also, I'm looking for at least 3000 lb payload rating...

The 250 should be around 3,000 and the 350 will exceed it.
If you get the gas consider the 250 and the diesel a 350.
If you get a heavy loaded out one and are a stickler of the yellow sticker and need 3,000 order the 350 so there is no disappointment when it arrives.

I bought my F350 Tremor to make sure I didn't need to worry about the Yellow sticker again. After being over loaded according to the Yellow sticker on my F250, I told myself never buy an F250 again.
Tremors have a ~200 lbs. reduction in towing.

Someone correct me, but I was thinking the F350 Tremor (6.7) was rated at 5000 -6000lb lower towing capacity (conventional) when compared to the non Tremor F350 6.7. Not sure how the gassers compare. I love the looks and options of the Tremor but was thinking it was rated way too low for me (occasional excavator tow).... hope I'm wrong.

EDIT: Yeah, I misread it. Never mind.
