2024 Ford F-150 Tremor vs 2024 F-150 Raptor | Interior | Exterior | Drive impressions & MPG loop

[@jdub1139]

I picked up a 2024 F150 Raptor 2 months ago and I love it. It rides like a Cadillac, zooms like a sports car and can haul things as needed. No regrets.

Nice truck! I love the raptor. My 21 raptor rode much better than my 21 f150

[@Mjr1348]

One of the best compare vids I’ve seen. I’m in the market now and this was very informative. I’ll be learning to the 5.0 Tremor. ✌🏻

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Hey thanks for watching man!! Enjoy the channel!

[@JT012]

Love my 2023 F-150 Tremor with the 5.0 Coyote. Great engine and I’m averaging 18.5 mpg.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Very nice!

[@catalinabob2descanso]

I just bought the 2024 Tremor with the 3.5, Pro Access Tailgate, 402 Package, loving it !

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Awesome truck! congrats on that beast!

[@christianheredia3428]

Went with a 23 tremor because of the updated headlight especially on the 402a, love the bumper but like the 23 front facia better Sick video!

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Awesome truck! Congrats on it! Thank you for the kind words

[@ThaNathanater]

Bro, 100%... the new grill/headlights on the Tremor (xlt, stx) are disgusting. I hate them so much lol. I don't know why they didn't make the front end look more like the lariat/platinum.

[@honkytonk2010]

I’m thinking of buying a tremor, but I’m going to wait till January or February when it’s 50 below and know one is buying ..That’s what my brother told me who is a car dealer Iam from Manitoba..Thank you for sharing your awesome! And useful! Video 👏👏👌👍🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Thanks for watching! Manitoba is a great place to drive a Tremor. Hope your brother is right and you get a good deal!

[@gurpreetchatha7702]

I think right now is the best time to buy as ford is giving $8k off and dealers are giving further $4k off. In January you are right people buy less but neither dealer nor ford is motivated enough to encourage sales as it is new year new model and they kind off expect sales to plummet. Saying this i am buying tremor 2024 black 402a this week…

[@BR549-2]

Great comparison. That 5.0 fuel mileage is impressive.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Thank you! I agree. I hope you enjoy the video I have coming in the next few weeks about the 5.0.

[@warpigs0331]

My 2024 f150 tremor blue cruise does change lanes for me when I use the blinker. I’m confused why this one doesn’t?

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Maybe a feature was disabled? Nice truck by the way. I like the tremor a lot.

[@Nate-zy5ce]

This is a GREAT, very useful, comparison video, very thorough! Thanks for doing it. I'd love your input on my somewhat rambling questions and comments in my post below, if you can. Either way, Thumbs up!

[@Gallagur-xz6fr]

I have the 3.5 Ecoboost Tremor. I've had the 5.0 in one of my Mustangs; currently have the 5.2 Voodoo engine in my GT350, etc. While those are great engines, you have to get them WAY up in the RPMS to experience the performance. With the 3.5 Ecoboost, you get 500 foot pounds of torque - with max torque around 2,500 RPM. And in Sport mode, you just touch the pedal and it pushes you back in the seat right off the rip. I leave it in 4WD auto, and i've dust so many other vehicles from a dig/from stop lights it's hilarious. It out performs the F150's with the 5.0, period.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Sounds like you are having a blast! I agree that the 3.5 is an awesome engine

[@marksullivan8200]

I think the tremor tailgate might ne to access the bed while towing possibly im not sure

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

It would be darn close!

[@chrisdakins2010]

Great review! I’m having trouble understanding what the trucks can tow. It seems every truck I look at has the overall capacity but what about the tongue / hitch weight capacity? Can you tell me what weight these can handle on their hitches?

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Both have different hitch weightings, vs weight distribution hitches!

[@stephanematis]

The Tremor uses the STX rear bumper with added tow hooks.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Great to know!

[@tjgim]

I love the wide body look of the Raptor, larger tires and the suspension. I don’t off road a lot, actually i do if you consider the potholes in Baltimore 🤣. My raptor eats those up. I tow with my bass boat with Raptor but it’s only about 4k lbs. which the Raptor is very capable of towing. Both are nice but I’m a Raptor fanboy.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Heck ya! Enjoy your truck thanks for watching

[@marksullivan8200]

If you intend to keep the truck long-term & do some towing the tremor will run alot longer if you trade up every 4-6 years & dont tow the raptor might be tight for you

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

It would seem the leaf spring tremor should be a better towing truck than the Raptor!

[@marksullivan8200]

@CTECH-REVIEW personally I'd add the RAS road active suspension easy bolt on to the leaf springs making the leaf springs work far more effectively both towing & normal driving by design especially towing though

[@Nate-zy5ce]

Do you know, if I got the Tremor and levelled/lifted it maybe 2 1/2" to 3 1/2" and added 35's to replace the stock 33's, maybe a bit of poke too, could a full 35 spare still fit in the spare spot under the rear of the bed in the Tremor? If not, where do you put it, is there something that can be done to make it fit there? Also, does doing that after market work in any way negatively affect the use of the front torsion diff or anything else in the Tremor? If I did that work I wouldn't be averse to further upgrading the Tremor suspension, better coil springs, shocks, control arms, balls, whatever if needed. I don't care so much about the towing as I do the extra payload capacity of the Tremor compared to the Raptor, I just thought the payload difference would be greater. On a side note, I wish I could get the Powerboost as an option in the 2025 Tremor, and I wish all the F150's put a light on either side in the front of the bed just like in the rear that can turn on with that stock switch. I heard a rumor by two youtubers about the Powerboost being available on the 2025 Tremor, but others said no, not true. Oh, one other question. Do you notice a difference in comfort between the Raptor and Tremor leather seats, is one more comfortable than the other, especially on longer highway drives? Front and rear? You mentioned more bolstering on the Raptor but what padding in the seat beneath your butt. You said they're both comfortable but in different ways, maybe you could expand on that comment? And does the suspension make the Raptor a more comfortable, noticeably smoother drive than the Tremor? I do a lot of highway driving, among other types, but also drive in mountainy snowstorms a lot. Thanks. And another, now that they've apparently dropped the "Deep snow/sand" mode on both, I wish I could get the custom mode R button on the Tremor too. I wonder if it would be useful putting a larger cold air intake into the Tremor, if it's even possible, if that might help it at high altitudes a bit and maybe increase average mpg a bit? I've actually been considering a Platinum or Platinum plus as well, and doing some similar after market mods on it, so that I can get the Powerboost, and the max luxury interior, but then I'd have to forego the Front torsion diff, and from what I understand that is not only useful off road, but will also help in snow and ice and big snowstorms some too, very relevant to me. Also, i understand that if you add the FX4 package to the Platinums you lose the dampening shocks, though maybe I'd lose those anyway if I upgraded the coils springs and shocks and such with my level/lift, so less relevant. And though I do get to the deserts, I'm more likely to be on trails, am a little concerned about the much greater width of the Raptor. That said, man, I'd really love that buttery smooth highway drive of the Raptor so many comment on, and that extra minimum road clearance, especially of the 37 package. Round and round. Buying in 2025 so in research phase now.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Lots of great questions here: Let me unpack what I know...I do not see the Powerboost being available YET on the Tremor, but I have heard Ford is trying to sneak the PB in the tremor and Raptor...but if you do highway driving I dont think you will see much MPG improvement with PB over standard motor. Regarding comfort in seats...I personally like the Raptor seat more, its very comfortable..regarding torsion front diff..awesome feature for extreme off road use, rock crawling, mud and deep deep snow...other than that I do not think its that useful, and it has some drawbacks. Regarding spare tire under the Tremor being a 35...great question, I think you will need to get under one if possible and just see if there is enough clearance to get one in. I think its going to be tight...but I got a 37 spare to fit under my 35 package raptor...you have to get creative! If it cant fit you would have to put in the bed or see if a Raptor bumper is an option to get you more clearance. You can typically put 35s on a standard F-150 with the proper leveling kit...I recommend the Roush Fox 2.0 setup..expensive but really nice. Check out my MPG videos comparing different trucks and engines to see how they do on the highway! Good luck on your search!

[@Nate-zy5ce]

@@CTECH-REVIEW You mentioned drawbacks of the front torsion diff, what are those? I really appreciate that extra 4WD capability, especially in snow, both on and off road, living in the mountains of ski country as I do. But I'd like to factor in those drawbacks if you'd be so kind as to share them. As for the 35 spare fitting where the Tremor's 33 spare goes, since asking that question I found two videos that confirm the 35 spare will fit in the normal place, snug but it will fit. Bottom line, with that front torsion diff, the Tremor would be an easier decision for me if there was just a larger difference in payload and towing capacity, especially payload, but as it is, I am still undecided, though leaning Tremor. I do wish the interior cabin noise was quieter in both. I had been considering an Audi Q8 or SQ8, a sports suv, and with their acoustic laminated windshield and double pane side windows, the quiet rating was around 54/55 if i remember correctly, versus 66/67 for the Tremor and I suspect the Raptor too. I wonder if the Platinum is quieter? But right now, I'd really like to know what those front torsion diff drawbacks are?

[@TRDTalk]

Great comparison.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Thank you for the comment and for watching!

[@sean47w7]

I think that $3500 more for a Raptor is worth it for much better suspension and the wide body look

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

That’s my thoughts too!

[@JT012]

My Tremor has 1760 lbs of payload and 10,300 lbs of tow capacity. The Tremor does truck things better. The Raptor is better off-road with wide roads and has a better ride.

[@Mike-o4t9j]

Tremor qualifies for ford financing (1.9% rn). Raptor, being ford performance, does not (~4.6%+). Finance that for a couple years then build that into the overall cost of the vehicle

[@michaelholliday6037]

Tremor has nicer looking seats! But I’m sure the raptor’s are more comfortable.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

They’re both nice and different ways

[@Nate-zy5ce]

I've been asking all around about this front torsion differential, and the consensus is, apparently confirmed now on the Ford website if you click thru to the 2025 build, that you do get the front torsion diff on the Raptor, 35 package and apparently also the 37 package, but it's the Raptor R with the much more powerful engine that you lose the front torsion diff. This is a great vid, but you might want to confirm this point and add a comment as to what you find. It's a big issue for me. I have significantly less interest in a Raptor without the front torsion diff. I lean Tremor or Raptor based on this issue. I also think I need to educate myself more on the difference b/t the locked versus open front diff that you reference, pro's and con's, etc...

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Torsion diff has been gone from all Raptor since 2023...ford Kept it quiet. I will make a follow up video to this topic though! I have had both open and Torsion front diff...I will make a video to talk about this...for me...I want open because of how I use my truck in the winter long towing on the highway in 4x4 sucks with Torsion diff up front.

[@Nate-zy5ce]

@@CTECH-REVIEW Thanks. I clearly have a lot to learn on this issue. I went to the Ford website and thought I saw it referenced in the 2025 Raptor build section, and someone else said that too, but now you've bot me thinking that it may be a question of wording that I might have misunderstood. I will keep an eye out for your vid discussing this issue. I don't anticipate any heavy towing or long distance towing, and even if I did it would be very rare. I am most concerned about handling all kinds of bad weather, especially bad snowstorms, on and off road, but especially on road, locals and highways during the worst storms and in their mixed aftermath, as well as just maximum or at least reasonable versatility.flexibility. And still having a smooth long distance highway drive, I really want max luxury on the inside. There may be some payload capacity concerns, but even that would not be a frequent thing, and would likely not involve extreme weights. They both look like great trucks. If I got the Tremor, I might well have some after market mods done, primarily to increase tire size to 35's, and maybe a few inches of extra level/lift to facilitate no rubbing. I might also then add a tad more poke. But my purchase likely won't be till late 2025, so I'm in education mode now.

[@germanjimenez5968]

I'm considering buying the Tremor. But I'm not too crazy paying 80gs. That's ridiculous.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

I completely get it! They are pricey!

[@trez2187]

Tremor and a Whipple is all you need.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Deadly combination

[@yransrm]

This is what I needed to hear 🤔🙌🏻

[@trez2187]

@CTECH-REVIEW @yransrm It's not an easy task satisfying towing, approx 20K lbs, and the need for speed. Can I do this with a 1/2 ton or 3/4? A cheaper way out is buying a 2-3 year old 5.0 Lariat that can be Whipplized, but may not handle towing a triple axle with approximately 20-22K lbs. Thank you, gentlemen.

[@ril850_1]

That Tremor is nice! Glad Ford is giving us options but Ford needs to drop that 5.0 in a Raptor and its game over for everyone else. Considering the difference in price, the Raptor is a better deal.

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Heck ya!!

Raptor looks better, $2k more, better resale value, and more powerful engine. For a $80k tremor, the headlight looks like they pull it off a stx even lariat looks better

[@shawnshute6925]

Tremor is nice, but it’s still a rapper Junior. Don’t matter how you look at it even with the V8 .I’m on my third Raptor. I have two buddies that own tremors. Both of them enjoy driving my Raptor more than then tremors. Just more fun and the exterior of the two trucks there’s no comparison how aggressive the raptor looks

[@CTECH-REVIEW]

Hard to beat the Raptor! It’s a true off-road beast

[@br5145-v3m]

*Raptor *Doesn’t

[@tysonzielke4369]

I think looks for sure but for a lot of guys they want to be able to go off road get through whatever they need to or take them out to a lease or pipeline and then be able to pull their camper on the weekend. You're quite limited as to payload and towing with a raptor.
