2024 Ford F150 Tremor: Who Would Buy This Without The 5.0L V8 Coyote???

[@mvoutour]

I had the 5.0 in my 2018 and it was great. Sounded nice, got great fuel economy in town and on the highway. But my 2022 Tremor has the 3.5 EB and it completely destroys the 5.0, it's not even close. The 5.0 makes most of it's power higher in the RPM range while the EB makes so much torque down at very low revs that it just rockets off the line with a small press of the accelerator. It's almost like a fast diesel and it's great offroad because of the torque not to mention almost no loss of power at elevation due to the turbos. Towing is a breeze too. Can't feel the boat back there at all.

[@Dqalex]

Every Tremor should come with the Torsen. Without it I would have never bought mine

[@markely7587]

100% the Torsen front axel should be standard on all Tremors and Raptors.

[@blkfeet29]

I completely agree.

[@jimsteinway695]

You can get it installed afterwards for $900

[@burnedagain6187]

5.0l all day hope they don’t stop offering a v8

[@R0GU3AG3N7]

I'm with that. I wouldn't want the turbo to go and have an expensive replacement. Don't get me wrong, I'd appreciate the fuel economy but maintenance or repair of a turbo would break most people's bank, mine included

[@NAZTYPONY007]

@@R0GU3AG3N7 Its not like that any longer .turbos go 150.000 miles no issues .2 F150s 2019 and 2021 they both did big mileage and pull some big weight trailers with ease . My coyote f150 could never pull like an Ecoboost or out fuel mileage it on a trip the only thing it does better is make noise ..

[@cartilagehead]

I’d love to see a PowerBoost Tremor too. The torque of the 3.5 + better fuel economy + 7.2kw ProPower in the back to run basically anything for days with the Tremor kit would make an awesome overland base.

[@ryansheard8092]

Problem with that would be payload would be awful.

[@cartilagehead]

@@ryansheard8092 why? The current powerboost payload isn’t rly that different from the other powertrains.

I bought my 2023 Tremor with the Ecoboost. I would love the V8 sound, but I enjoy the Ecoboost torque! Almost diesel-like in power delivery.

[@emiller7108]

I have a 23 402A w/the 3.5 and man is it fun to drive. The EB even sounds good. Not much worse that the stock 5.0 in my opinion. Ford helped the exhaust sound and I'm happy with it. The torque is crazy and this truck will flat out move. I smile every time I hit the accelerator!

[@AKS-74U]

You are getting that fake exhaust pumped through the speakers. My 5.0 Tremor sounds exponentially better than 2 Gen 2 Raptors and one regular F150 EB I've compared it to side by side. The Ecoboost literally sounds like a lawnmower.

[@bigvol1596]

As long as he’s happy who gives a shit. Some people care about what others think, and some don’t

[@jasonbrushett2005]

Another reason why some would choose the 3.5 is because of the towing experience. Engine just seems so damn happy with a load behind it,or at least thats my experience

[@Valid.4l]

Gas mileage wise or the way it pulls

[@jasonbrushett2005]

@Valid.4l the way it pulls and I don't find the gas mileage that bad either

[@9663mu]

As someone who has a 2018 5.0 and now 2022 3.5 ECO , I only miss the sound. And it what a glorious sound. Otherwise the eco torque is another level and much lower rpm

How bout all the gains w/ just a tune….

[@tgilldesign]

Same here....I also own a 2018 with 5.0 V8. It is alright....but did suffer from the ubiquitous oil consumption issue. Still, I might have selected the 5.0 for my new truck except they have incorporated cylinder deactivation. No way on that.....everyone that has employed cylinder deactivation has had long term engine reliability problems.....so, my new Lariat is ordered with the 3.5.

[@Reshard834]

Ford forces you into a more expensive 402A package to get the Front TORSEN limited slip. It used to be you could get the front torsen for a $500 stand a lone option. I still like the new F150 Tremor, but for me, I wouldn't buy one without the 402A package with the front Torsen

[@careyc7414]

My 401 came with the Torsen. I guess it’s available as an option.

[@ryansheard8092]

​@careyc7414 not on the '24. Only the '22 and '23.

[@ryansheard8092]

You can get the 401a and then have your dealer add the Torsen for about $900. That way you keep the payload capacity of the base Tremor but get the Torsen.

[@benjaminbrown7127]

I think the headlights on the tremor are a good look for it instead of the projectors. I love the projectors, but they don’t look as tough as the “base” headlights

[@oni-one574]

Looking at one of these with the 3.5 6. I can't overlook the nearly 100 more tq with the 6. I love my NA 600hp LS3 C6, but it's loud and I'm keeping it, my bike is also kind of loud and I just want a quiet vehicle that will do everything this does specifically. I'm personally glad it doesn't sound like the Ranger Raptor or big Raptor, they sound like trash. Going to see where I can get the biggest discount though, not opposed to hunting used 24+ models either. Absolutely nuts that mid-sized trucks are $56k+. At this point, with a healthy discount, I can get a full sized tremor while people are drooling over $65k Toyota mid-sized trucks. When I was a kid, everything was NA power. It was boring. The craze was forced induction, usually big turbos or supers. The grails were twin turbo builds, they just produced insane power and sounded cool with the blow off valves. So forced induction is cool imo. If the Coyote was a supercharged 8.... I'd buy it in a heart beat. How shallow is that? Lol.

​@@jasonbrushett2005 you get less mpg when towing heavy loads. Not to mention you're pretty much playing Russian roulette towing with a turbocharged engine that's not a diesel.

Torque is better for off road. The ecoboost gets you a ton of torque at a very low rpm. Also at elevation like Salt Lake City the Ecoboost performs much better. The only thing u get with the v8 is noise.

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

Not true. You get flex fuel E-85 capability, which brings more horsepower,lower emissions, and lower operating costs. You also get the ability to put a winch behind the front bumper, where the intercooler goes on the EcoBoost.

[@DanRichter]

If I were to get the 5.0, I'd have to do something to it, because I'd be disappointed leaving it stock knowing how much better the 3.5 is.

People prefer that engine if they live in high altitude states like Colorado etc. You would be a clown driving around with a NA 5.0 struggling in the mountains while an EcoBoost flies by you at light speed 😂 Now if i lived anywhere that WASNT high altitude, 5.0 all day. But i honestly loved my 2.7L and i lived in Texas at the time, as sea level as you can get. A 300$ tune and it beat 5.0s. Pushes an extra 6-7 PSI boost over factory default of 17 psi. (Pushes 23/24 psi in full sport tune mode). Once you hit the gas in a 2.7 or 3.5 its hard to not love it, especially when you install a blow off valve and let off the gas at 24 psi, WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH noises for days. I do miss a nice 5.0 Exhaust note though, as my 2.7 sounds like a Dyson.

[@martinlo3781]

I drove both back to back. Unless you plan on putting a supercharger and purposely want worse gas mileage there is no point to the 5.0L. There is a reason the engineers put the 3.5L EB in the Raptor and not the 5.0L. 90 extra ft lbs of torque at low RPM and I get as high as 22 mpg freeway. No V8 will see those numbers. Some people are just brain washed that a V8 is better and the exhaust sound is worth worse gas mileage. It’s your choice and payment buy what you want. I’m not anti v8 or pro V6. I just like what is truly better all around. I am beyond happy with the stock performance of the 3.5 EB and if I want more hp Whipple makes a intercooler, tune and intake for the 3.5 EB that is smog legal, will add 50hp and 80 TQ. FYI, a tremor has the same 0-60 and 1/4 mile time stock to stock as the Raptor.

The 5.0 is a terrible tow engine. It’s a great Mustang motor. High revving low torque motor. It has to work at 5-6,000 rpm to tow a 7000 lbs trailer. It has 400 ft torque. The 3.5 has 500 ft lbs torque. It tows 11,000 lbs at 3000 rpm. The 5.0 will not last that long if it has to tow. I tow 8000 in my tremor and you can’t hear the motor. About 2300 rpm at speed.
