Add Platinum Tremor?

I have a 2022 Platinum 7.3 FX4 on order without a VIN and thinking about adding the Tremor. I'm going to be mainly towing a RV 30 ft trailer with mild off-roading (without the RV) . I love the wheel rims and upgraded suspension but wonder about the 35" tires for towing and road noise. Does anyone have some experience towing with the Tremor? Cheers

No Tremor issues I have noticed towing same size trailer on Toyo 35" A/T. I had to get Air bags for rear just cause I like that level ride and was well worth it.

I have a Tremor and tow a Sundowner gooseneck toy hauler with no issues. Tows just like my previous two F350’s did. I added airbags to all of them to keep them level when towing.

If I was going to tow or haul near max capacity I’d skip the tremor package. I love my tremor, but it sags under load more than my 2016 f250 did. My 16 was aFx4 and had camper and plow packages. My 2020 is a f350 tremor. I was not expecting a 350 to sag more than a 250. I almost passed on the 350 thinking it was more truck than I needed. I am also somewhat surprised that the 350 seems to ride better than the 250 did.

the tremor seems to do way better off road than the 250 did. It could just be the tires. The Duratracks work way better than the Michelin’s that were on the old truck for my type of off roading. I actually do go off roading, but do spend a lot of time on forest roads and get to deal with mud and deep snow .

Can't comment on the actual performance of the Tremor package but I do know the Duratrac tires are a little louder than the other AT options that Ford offers from the factory and life will be less. A lot of people hate on the Duratrac but I like them, they grip well, have good road manners and don't throw rocks hardly at all. Only negative is tread life, I have 15k on my current set and they are just a little over half tread but that's fine with me because I tend to get tired with a set of tires much past 40k anyway LOL.

Take a look at this:

you give up a lot by adding the Tremor package. Swapping out tires for better off road performance is easy and relatively cheap… if you like the look that is one thing.

As long as the gvwr of the trailer is under the load and tow rating of the tremor go for it. I think the tremor is 15,000 rated, both the 250 and 350 are the same suspension.

As mentioned you can modify the truck you ordered as well. The tremor comes with a thinner sway bar which may sway you towards a regular model.

Not a fan of the Duratracs. In my experience they get loud quickly. The tremor tire size is made in many different tires though.

Didn't know the Tremor sway bar is thinner. I'm only towing 8,000 lb trailer now but could change in the future. The Ford GCWR spec for Tremor is 24,900 vs. 26,000 without Tremor - not much difference, but the maximum loaded trailer weight is the same - 15,000. Thanks for all your input. Cheers

The optional Tremor Pkg delete any availability of a Rear Sway Bar, in either F250 or 350 configuration. Both trucks do share the smaller diameter Front Sway Bar when compared to a F250/350 without the Tremor pkg. All Tremors share the same Rear Differential and Spring Packs. Only difference being Axle Ratios. 4.30 for Gas, 3.55 for Diesel.

I have a Platinum Tremor and tow a boat that's about 10,000 pounds with the trailer. So long as the rear tire pressures are at 80, the truck is great. I run the tires at 55 all around when not towing, and the ride is soft and compliant. If I forget to add air after hooking up the trailer, the rear is squishy, squirrelly, and towing is no fun.

Nice rig!! You've provided a lot of temptation. Still can't decide, though.
