With this truck you can take over the infotainment system with both, android auto and Apple car play using it with your phone navigation app in the truck. Also how is the exhaust break workin for ya?

[@singletrackscott1053]

Love the Tremor 6.7 diesel. Love it so much I custom ordered a Lariat 250 in Jan 2020. After 7,500 miles, Ford bought it back from me after it spent 88 days in the shop trying to repair the damage done by the Bosch CP4 fuel pump that detonated as it is apparently prone to doing based on the research I did after the fact. Better be adding lubricant to avoid the same result. When Ford decides to go away from the Bosch CP4 - as GM did in 2017 and as Dodge did in 2021 - I'll reconsider the Tremor.

[@trentniemetz5831]

The Cp3 injection pump is way better than that Cp4

[@justanotheraviator2357]

Cummins only added it in 2019 and then promptly removed it again, there is also a kit to revert to cp3

[@jc7435]

7.3 Godzilla?

[@singletrackscott1053]

@@jc7435 torque numbers aren't anywhere close to the diesel. Also, when I ordered my F250, the Gozilla engine was brand new, i.e., untested. I actually test drove an F250 with the gas engine immediately prior to driving the F250 with the diesel and opted for the diesel due to the torque. The diesel was, quite simply, a rocket. Unfortunately, it was a rocket with a faulty fuel delivery system that Ford seems content leave in place.

[@AB-so3jv]

Awesome purchase!! We have a 2019 F350 Dually, and you can download Android Auto (we have Androids, maybe there is also for Apple, etc) and we use Google maps on the phone, plug in to the USB port in the truck and maps show in the trucks display. You may want to plug your phone via USB and take it from there. Really happy for you guys, enjoy!!!!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Oh nice, that's good to know thanks. I saw the apps section in Sync3 but haven't messed with it yet. Also saw Wayze app for nav....but we like goolge best I think. We'll check it out!! I think i heard sync 4 will have the wireless applecar play and Android auto...

[@SoCalRizzy]

@@IreneIronTravels You have the Ford Sync3 system, so you can do Apple Carplay or Android Auto and then you'll have Google Maps on your display. Just plug your phone into one of the USB ports (standard USB or the new USB-C). Wireless Carplay unfortunately is for Sync4 only.

[@marknichols7861]

My wife and I bought a set of (4) collapsible orange safety cones from Amazon and went to our local mall parking lot to practice with our dually and 5th wheel. We made “parking spots“ with the cones and pulled in and out, and also backed in. We found what the trailer was doing with our steering inputs. Walkie Talkies are handy (or cell phones on speaker) when being guided by your partner. With the cones, you can change the layout of the parking area (narrower, wider, longer, etc.)

[@penelopebartell840]

Cool truck! Totally agree about the touch displays. Old-school buttons and knobs are faster and safer to use while driving.

[@campingalan]

Hello Chris and Aaron!! Thank you very much for sharing the details of your new truck!! This looks like a really awesome rig! A few years ago when we were shopping for a 1ton single rear wheel truck, I went with the Ram, but my wife liked the F350 better. We had gotten rid of the Ram 1ton; I traded it for a Toyota Tacoma and 4Runner so that we could 4wheel here in Ouray. Well....once we committed to getting a travel trailer and knew we would be towing, it was time to get a 1ton again. We did chose the 7.3l Godzilla. So, if we can time it correctly, you'll be able to compare that once we get our trailers. It is a bit of a risk for us since we live in CO and I know the diesels rule with all of their power. But...I'm hoping the 7.3l with the 4.30 gearing and with my happy go lucky patience, that the extra 45 seconds it takes for me to get to the top of the pass as compared with in your diesel will make the $8k savings worth it. We'll see hehehe That Tremor package looks awesome!! Though I special ordered our truck to get all the options that we wanted, I didn't get the Tremor, mostly out of ignorance as I assumed it would reduce the towing capability. Well...it looks like I was quite wrong. And, considering where we live here in the San Juan Mountains, some of those Tremor perks look like they would have been beneficial. Oh well. So...our mid June ETA of the truck is still holding strong. I'd say, at this point, that is a minor miracle as there are many others special ordering and having theirs canceled and pushed to 2022s. It is going to be fabulous to watch you build out your systems in a way that it takes you through the next 3or so months! Bleh...that is slightly upsetting to hear how much the nav sucks on your truck. We ordered that feature too. Does your truck have android auto or apple car play so that you can continue to use your google maps? I wonder how long I'll continue using that android auto system before I switch over to something like RV Trip to at least get trailer dimensions included in the routing so as to not take out the top of your rig on a low bridge. Safe travels!!! Fingers crossed the rigs come in before October !!

[@universalmediaus]

We bought the 2021 7.3 F-250 Lariat and we've put over 15K miles on it since December, loving the 7.3 and the 360 camera system has made maneuvering in tight spaces so easy. Definitely try and mod up something that will allow you to at least have a front camera. I almost got the Tremor model but had a first edition Bronco on order so the wife stopped me from getting the Tremor package, but now we decided to wait on the Bronco so kinda wish we did get the Tremor. That being said, we've done some great off-roading and beach driving and it's handled great! Congrats!

[@bigchang23]

Guys when you have a truck this big it’s always easier to reverse park. Thats how we all do it lol get used to parking in reverse. Trust me makes parking so much easier and the truck is easier to maneuver in reverse.

[@DanMar5858]

It also makes it SO Much easier to Leave the Parking Spot, when you can just pull straight out. Trying to Back Out of any parking spot with a truck is a big pain, especially in the city environment. I’ve been backing into parking spots now for 23 years and even if I’m drinking my daughters car, I still back in.

[@Chrisamici]

I think the diesel is the best choice. You get twice as much torque, which is amazing for towing, plus you will get way better fuel mileage and btw diesel is averaging about 20 cents cheaper a gallon, at least in my area. Great truck, congrats guys

[@IreneIronTravels]

I think we'll be happy with it for sure. Good point on the mpg's as the range with a 34 gallon tank is about 150 more miles. No fun to be towing and having to get gas every couple hundred miles. I

[@vdub3235]

They do have a lot of collapsible items. Laundry basket, buckets, other things you might want to look at. Also, think about an RV GPS. I’m sure you probably know about them, or maybe a truckers atlas, since you are towing a taller RV. Also, a good air compressor and a TPMS system. Good I’m so excited for you guys. Love the truck. So cool. Can’t wait for upcoming vids. A lot of these upcoming videos will be great for newbies. Add the new stuff to Amazon store. Prime days coming in June!!!😜take care be safe

[@IreneIronTravels]

Good points!! Thanks!

[@philipbielarski3762]

Getting ready to take the plunge and buy one of these. Just trying to decide between the 6.7 power stroke and 7.3 Godzilla. Love the diesel, but in my situation the gasser may be more practical. Enjoy your Tremor, and Best of Luck! !

[@IreneIronTravels]

Nice, yeah tough decision for sure. If we didn't full time RV the 7.3 would make more sense for us too. The diesel is a definite "nice" to have..... but spendy. Thanks for watching!

[@LWRC]

I've never owned a pickup truck and now after watching this video, I want to get a Tremor 6.7!!! Great video and thanks for sharing your beautiful truck!!!

[@roymercer441]

Had a tremor for a few months my 5’er was just too much for it. Dealer took it back and now have a 450, way more stable and safer. Really want a Prevost next.

[@MrJoshuasurillo]

How heavy is your 5th wheel?

[@roymercer441]

@@MrJoshuasurillo my old one was max 18k wet and loaded and my new keystone is closer to 16 dry 19 loaded. The suspension and tire combo was too bouncy even at 16k. I was told it was mostly do to the sidewall height on the tires. If I had never towed with another truck and didnt know any better I might have been happy. I dont need a 450 but at the time there just weren't many trucks to choose from but an F350SRW would have been way better. Since I have a 450 now I bought a new 5'er which is a bit larger. The dealer was good to me and I didnt lose any money over it. I even took them for a ride with the 5 hooked up in the tremor. F350 Tremor in my opinion is good for under 13-15 range regardless of what ford says.

[@markb8486]

Bed mounted toolbox- for tools and to mount your lithium battery & inverter. Roll up tuxedo tonneau cover or soft expandable camper shell, mount your exoskeleton rack for the tent. Awesome truck enjoy!

[@shelleymcquillin7329]

Super cool tow rig!! You'll appreciate the diesel power in the mountains. Looking forward to watching your tenting adventures.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks Shelley!!👍

[@JnJaylo2010]

Hello again. Our new Interstate arrived and while we were inspecting it, a brand new 2022 Interstate X arrived at the dealer. WoW! It is a one-off for Airstream on the Merc 170 etx chassis. It is lifted 8”, has AT tires, black rhino coating from mid to bottom of rig, top rack with off road lighting and extreme lithium package. It is completely redone inside with area for bikes, etc inside. We were pretty disappointed in our new rig when we saw that lol. We held off taking delivery. It is a sick rig!!! I tried finding info online but Airstream has been very secretive and I can’t find anything. Keep bringing the updates!!

[@Cometman2007]

Love the truck!! Great video and can’t wait to see the tent setup and when you get the TT on it as well. Keep up the great work.

[@turtleinthemix]

just ordered my 2022 f350 platinum tremor in carbonized grey. thanks for this video. all of your videos are great!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Good choice! You're going to love your new Tremor, thanks for watching!

[@bigdanc.8429]

Ford all the way baby.

[@recordingsobie]

Love Ford Trucks ! I ordered my 2020 White Ford F 350 Lariat 6.2L with the max payload capacity of 4250 before the chip factory burning down in China. Now keep in mind I'm going the same route your going so now RV hunting. I put an ARE HD cap on the bed which has an internal aluminum structure lining the roof with a capacity of 550 lbs. Four (4) Black Roam 95L Boxes fit perfectly in the 6 3/4 bed. On top of the Roam's is a 10 inch Cool Gel Mattress for Roko Dog. Go Rhino running boards and roof rack. I ordered Goodyear 35's on it with the stock Lariat wheels.

[@outdoorsman2b918]

You may also check a KYD (Keep Your Daydream) video were they did various upgrades to their truck (onboard air compressor, bigger fuel tank, etc). You may decide research further more.

[@armedprophet3321]

You really need to look at the gen 2 disaster prevention kit. WHEN the cp4 fuel pump detonates, and unfortunately it will, it will literally save you at least 7 to 8 thousand dollars that will come out of your pocket. It costs about 400 dollars plus install. I highly suggest you do it and not look back. S&S diesel is the company.

[@leemorin6260]

We are using a goal zero lithium 3000x for power in our van runs refrigerator on 110 for 3 plus days and we run the water pump on 12 volt before recharging. You can also charge it off the alt . It might solve your power in the tent. You can run power out the vents of the back of the cab and up to the tent. Check out the wrapon toilet. It’s the green box. Watching the transformation. Have fun.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for the suggestions! I actually just saw a video on that green box bathroom!

[@alexanderschooler579]

The chip shortage isn’t just effecting Ford, it is impacting the whole industry, to include computers

[@ToInfinitySomewhereTV]

This is an awesome review of the 2021 Tremor package. We have an F250 with the 7.3 and absolutely love it. It was hard finding what we wanted when we went to look. Kind of fell into the truck luckily. And they honored our x-plan pricing. :). We just stumbled on your channel. Looking forward to following along with you on your future adventures.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Nice, glad to hear you got xpp. When I started shopping mid April it was just starting to get really bad and most dealers would not honor it and one even said 10k over! The dealer I bought from backed out of x plan at the last minute on us after the salesmen said yes! These trucks are just too high of demand and someone else actuality had a deposit on it. They ended up ordering a 2022 so we got this one, but I was a little bummed on the pricing. But, we can't wait for a 2022 and need to get back on the road! Thanks for watching!

[@ToInfinitySomewhereTV]

@@IreneIronTravels Totally agreed. We were in a spot where we needed something by June. We bought at the beginning of March. Here's to one day we cross paths in our travels.

[@step2ohio]

I am so excited for both of you!! Plus I’m excited for the video to come!!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yay! Thank you!

[@UsernameRK07]

I totally agree on the OEM GPS. It kinda just gives a "I got you close...the rest is on you" vibe ha. Enjoyed the video!

[@richardziemies8247]

The problem with your GPS is that you have to take it back to the Ford dealer to get the radio updated so your gps will work. Have fun with your new truck you two.

[@SlowTransitTimes]

Truck is awesome! Are you going to look into a separate RV GPS? I hear those are super useful, especially when towing. Let us know! Also keep us posted on the power supply that you’re going to be putting in there. Have fun!!

[@IreneIronTravels]

I think we will look into a RV GPS apps to help with height clearance, but I would like to avoid adding another screen. Thanks!

Thanks Chris...you look gorgeous :-) when ru coming you the SW

[@johnnydough8841]

Sometime around whiffa.

[@rdouglass7787]

the jackery 240 is $170 on amazon right now. buy two and it will handle all you needs. My rockpal 300 died after less than two years so I went with Jackery. It ran my 58qt 12volt fridge/freezer for 11.5 hours and still had 17% battery life left. You could get two for a fraction of the price of two lithium batteries and an inverter. actually you could buy three and the solar panel for less than a two battery setup. and its less weight and portable. more flexibility

[@patriotone755]

Bought a 2021 F350 Lithium Gray with BAP loaded. Love it!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Nice!

[@marvs4321]

I have a few suggestions for you (in no particular order) 1. Try and buy electrical components for your truck that you can move to your RV when you get it. I’d suggest Victron components like their DC-DC charger and solar charge controller. 2. Think carefully about purchasing a Multiplus or some other inverter charger. Since your truck already has an inverter you’d be duplicating that component. If you were to get one big enough for your RV it would take up too much space in your truck. The only issue though is that you’d need to run your truck anytime you wanted AC power. My suggestion would be to get a small inverter that you could use with your lithium batteries, or investigate if you can hack the truck so that the inverter works when the truck is not running. 3. I’d suggest a porta-pottie and small shower tent as a portable outhouse. Some have composting capability also. 4. Water storage is going to be a big issue. Be sure to include the weight of your fully loaded water tank(s) in your payload capacity calculations. 5.Standardize all of your 12v power connections with Anderson Powerpoles of the proper rating. That way you can plug any one thing into any other thing whenever you need to use or supply 12V to something. 6. Create a properly fused power distribution box as the central hub in your electrical system. 7. If you find you just can’t fit everything in the bed of the truck, there are plenty of off-road capable mini-trailers that you can get. some have kitchen, water and storage capability.. 8. If you’re going deep off-road, consider adding a front winch to your truck, as well as a recovery kit with tow straps, etc. 9. You should be able to design your system such that solar panels or a dc-dc charger connected to the truck is all you’ll ever need to keep your batteries up. 10. Design it all out on paper and triple check things before you buy anything. Measure twice and cut once. Good Luck, hopefully I’ve at least given you a few things to think about.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thank you Marv! All great things to consider!

[@duncanyoung5482]

I have a 2017 Ford F-150 King Ranch that we use to pull our Airstream 23FB. The truck also has the backup trailer assist. We don't use it. We find it easier just to back the trailer up the conventional way. The 360-degree camera option is a better system IMO.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Nice, that's kinda what I've been hearing. In the super duties they combine the pro back up and 360 camera, so you have to get both...... too bad as the 360 makes sooo much sense in a truck!

[@lisalovessoulsbeachcoach8029]

thats my block the driving i use to drive truck years ago u guys are inspiring team work

[@joehawaii5788]

Just think about attaching the Solar panel on both side of top rails of your frame for the tent. Let then swing up and down freely with adjustable rods to get them optimal direction to the sun. I think you can see wear I'm going this ? It will all so protect your thing while traveling.

[@NvFlyAngler]

I'm in 100% agreement regarding Ford's GPS. It sucked in my 2019 F-250 so I ordered my 2021 F-350 without it; I didn't want to spend $570 on an option that sucks. Oh, and I put a deposit down on a 2022 Outdoors RV 25RDS last week. Thanks for another informative video!

[@dean_ov_az]

Congrats on the awesome rig! Looking forward to your future adventures. Volta Power Systems now offers retrofitting setups. I haven't really looked into them so I'm not sure how customizable they are, but it may be worth looking at. We love the Volta system in our van. Good luck!

[@derrick1964]

Looks like it’s going to be a fun summer 😎⛺️

[@victorraynes4962]

Hey guys, excited for your new adventure. One small suggestion about your stuff in boxes. I’d put them plastic air tight totes. The rain will get into the bed of the truck, even with a cover it somehow finds a way. Just speaking from experience. Wet box’s suck and then the stuff in it is pretty much gone.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for the suggestion! We are think along the same line as we don't want all our stuff ruined! It will be back there for a good 3 months!

[@andyt4214]

Like your truck and your videos. Keep them coming. You can get your iPhone to display Google Maps by plugging your phone into the usb port for the dash. It should pop up and override the worthless Ford GPS. Also, you will have Apple Play and can use other apps on your phone such the pod casts and Libby or other audible book apps. We have a 2020 F150 3.5 Ecoboost and the screen sometimes did not bring up Google/Apple Play. I asked the local dealer to check for updates and since then it seems to work every time. You did not mention the adjustable brake and gas peddles. These sold my wife on the truck. She is short (5-3) and I am 6 ft., she can bring the peddles to the right height for her; then I can put them back for me. We take turns towing a 2018 Flying Cloud 25 FB. Our first Ford and we really like it.

[@GopherChoker.]

You have lots of space in the bed for a power pod… you can have the lithium batteries and possibly get an viair setup (2 1/2 gallon air tank) as well that is mounted. I have a setup like this in the bed of my truck. It is nice to have.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks for the tips, sounds like a nice setup you have!

[@garretlewis4103]

Nice truck. I do like the Tremor package. Ford does a good job with their Tremor packages (HD & Ranger) with keeping the vehicle’s tow capacity. Only bad thing about the HD truck is it is BIG. I can see a bunch of pinstripes on those narrow trails. Also, have you thought about a bed slide for the bed to help with access to those items when you have the RTT on the truck?

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! Yes, the HD size will limit us on trails for sure, but being full time rvers we need the extra payload for our gear/belongings/water, etc and our 10k gvwr travel trailer. Really liked the Tundra TRD pro as well as the gladiator..... but no good on the payload. Have seen the decked slidouts and they do look pretty nice. Once we have our TT in a couple months we can clear out our giant totes in the bed and possibly go that route.

[@garretlewis4103]

@@IreneIronTravels The Decked drawer system or similar systems are nice. I was referring to a slide for the entire bed. This way you are not limited by the drawers.

We got out of debt, lived below our means, and saved up to 75% of income for about 5 years for this transition into fulltime Rving. We started our own business (IreneIronFitness) where Chris is online fitness and nutrition coach and I (Aaron) run the tech side, website, and KZbin Channel. So we now work remotely from anywhere and travel the country. It is an inexpensive way to live so that allows us to spend a bit more on our setup as it is basically our house. Thanks for watching!

Thinking about adding batteries inside of your truck for auxiliary power…. Have you given any thoughts to using a Yeti or Jackey 1000-1500 and adding a solar panel to keep the portable power charged? This would give you power when you need it charging while driving or when sun is available and just keep it in the bed of the truck. Just another option…..

[@joycemoses2411]

Your truck looks great for your adventures....CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks Joyce!👍

Nice! I thought I made a lot of money until I saw the prices of new TRUCKS! I thought maybe someone swapped out the price tag of a Porsche, but nope it was a Ford LOL.

[@weaverswandering972]

awesome truck...have my 250 delayed due to chip...supposed to have been here in mid may...so you guys did get lucky. Like the idea of the tent to be used for on the trails...

[@IreneIronTravels]

Right on! Hope your truck comes soon!

[@SirithKhan]

I went on a road trip to Oregon (from Southern California) with my in-laws (who I love...so no jokes about them here). We rented a GMC Yukon for a week. As a Honda Accord driver I have to admit that while I had no difficulty driving the thing, I did have little trouble parking it. I simple could not see the actual parking space over the hood once I got too close. It did not take too long to get it between the lines, but I consistently failed to park far enough up. I was always a couple feet back. Now I know why so many pickup truck/SUV drivers back in...it's the cameras. Mystery solved. Queue comments from people who say they've been backing in to parking spaces since before they had backup cameras...

[@malimish]

Wow they just keep squeezing more power our of the 6.7 power stroke diesel. The torque spec on it is a mind numbing number! Impressive truck for sure. Congrats on your new ride.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! Yeah, I'm not really sure if we would ever really need over 1000 ft lbs of torque......but it's there!😂 I'm sure we will really appreciate it in the mountains and probably everyday towing once we have it. Really enjoyed the low RPM torque in the Sprinter for sure.

[@malimish]

@@IreneIronTravels we had a 2015 f250 with the 6.7 diesel and it was a beast! Back then I think we were only in the ~800 range for torque. For the last 3 years we've also had a sprinter with a 3L diesel. It's comparably anemic to the Ford!

[@IreneIronTravels]

I actually ran across you guys when I was researching vans in 2017/2018 and I think that's when you guys bought yours. Your family has sure lived in just about everything!

[@malimish]

@@IreneIronTravels haha yeah we've switched up our home a few times in 13 years. But I'm proud to say we've never lived in a camper with swooshy decals 😁 Our Casita 16 would have had some but there was an option for a factory decal delete and we jumped on that!

Volta now has a portable system you should check out.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Oh, nice, I haven't seen that yet thanks!

[@joycem2795]

I do hope you’re going to shop at REI and have a co-op membership! We have the Nemo solar shower with the foot pump to pressurize it and it works great. A privacy tent for the shower and a portable toilet would work well. I think you mentioned traveling through the Smokies, not sure if they have showers in the National Park campgrounds. They didn’t have them in the past. Can’t wait to see your travels.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks Joyce, good suggestions! We are trying to get the bare necessities and then see what we "really" need once we are out there.. We'll see soon!

First time viewer now sub. I’m excited for you two. Great adventures ahead. Yeah I was once told just get the 350 and you will not have to wonder if you can tow. Stay safe.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! Yeah, no need for extra worry or brain damage for sure. And it's good for future changes and options!

[@angelusbrick917]

Yeah, always go 350. You get another 1,000 lbs payload and better brakes. I ordered a XLT tremor with Godzilla 4.30’s and all the towing goodies. Be sure to always get dual batteries and dual alternators too. Upfitter switches help with accessories. We tow our 14,000 lb. fifth wheel no problem. Happy Trails

[@johnt6673]

The newer f150 is much better with the navigation, which the 2022 superduty will be getting like you mentioned.

[@brentfrench752]

So Aaron, are you ever going to be able to drive this truck, or just admire it from the passenger seat? It’s a very sweet truck!

[@johnmurray9660]

Great new truck, totally Gnarly! Thanks for sharing an overview. Aaron, I'm showing my electrical knowledge ignorance, but you said the truck has a 400 watt onboard inverter. My 2019 F-150 has what they say is a 2K watt inverter. What am I missing? I know you're the man when it comes to this type stuff. Enjoy, and hopefully your tent rack arrives soon. 🙏 Travel safe! 😎

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks John! Yes, you must have the sweet Ford Pro Power Onboad generator that the F150's have as an option. They haven't rolled that out to the Super Duty line yet. When your truck is running it should have 2k power available. It will be nice when the trucks continue to go Hybrid and all electric so there is already a Lithium battery in them and I don't have to add one!

[@johnmurray9660]

@@IreneIronTravels Thanks for the info Aaron. I'll be interested in your lithium battery upgrade when that happens. Probably something I should do if we get serious about RVing and our F-150 is in the equation. 😎

I like your overall floor plan more ;). They had some little issues with the dealer, try and make sure they give you a full walk through and system check. Have fun....the app crashed before I could proof read it ;)

You might want to think about your bike placement. It looked like they block your tail lights

[@cskipper65]

Diesels are great but not really necessary for towing under 10k pounds. Or the occasional 15k load. 7.3 is a great option and should be very low maintenance costs if you keep your truck for 200k+ miles.

[@daveb3816]

How is your steering at 40mph plus? Mine (250 Tremor Diesel) wonders left and right. Only has 900 miles on her. Been told the tires need to be broken in…

[@IreneIronTravels]

I've heard about the tire break-in as well and some people just don't like the "feel" of the Dura tracs. I did notice a little bit of wonder or play at highway speeds but nothing too crazy. I just assumed it was the 2 in lift, 35in tires, and HD 1 ton truck components. This is our first truck like this and our Sprinter van (which weighed 10,500 lbs), also had dura tracs on it. We just hit 2800 miles driving back to the midwest from Florida and I'll say it's pretty smooth driving for a big truck. I do notice a little bit of the 10-speed shift at times though and hope that smooths out.

[@edwarderickson3000]

Wow, great truck. I’d really like to know how to find that truck or Ford SRW that has a 4200 payload capacity. Can you point me in the right direction on that. I’ve almost given up. Can’t do a dully where I am.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Thanks! To get the most payload of the 1 ton SRW you will have to go with the gas engine and very light on options, like the XLT trim. You can still get a tremor package but the biggest thing that drops the payload is the extra weight of the diesel. Our truck would probably been around 3900lbs in the Lariat trim with the 7.3 gas. So drop as many options as possible like moon roof, etc..

[@WorldWideCynthia]

Wow, didn't realize it was a 350 - nice!

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes!

[@eddygoodwin7089]

A compost toilet would be nice

[@rdsii64]

Doesn't your head unit support apple car play and android auto? If so your preferred map on your phone should work fine at least it works in my f150.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes it does have both if plugged into your ohone! The truck was pretty new and we hadn't experimented with that yet.... but still pretty disappointed in a $500 for nav option. We have been using android auto and it works great!

[@jamesvelvet3612]

I'm kinda stunned regarding the weak cargo capacity of some of these Tremors. Saw one at the dealer (10,000 lbs GVWR) and the door sticker said max cargo capacity was 1,300 lbs (!) According to the Ford Towing Guide 2021 there is no Tremor with a 4,000 lb cargo capacity, more like about 2,800 lbs max and that is only if stripped. Curious as to what your door sticker says. I think the low cargo rating is why Ford won't certify the Tremor for a camper. BTW, I had a Ram 3500 Diesel and it was a BEAST towing and (surprisingly) has some of the best brakes of any truck I ever owned. The optional 50 gallon fuel tank was nice too :-) You will love this diesel the power is pretty mind blowing.

[@IreneIronTravels]

My sticker is 3442lbs for a f350 with the 6.7 diesel and 11,500 gvwr. A f350 XLT with the 7.3 gas should be over 4,000lbs easy. Here is a good thread for you from the tremor forum where members show their stickers. Looks like around 2,600lbs is the low end for the F250's with a 6.7 and the 10,000 gvwr. Are you sure about that 1,300lbs??!! www.fordtremor.com/threads/actual-ford-tremor-payload.107/

[@jamesvelvet3612]

@@IreneIronTravels TY for the info! Yes, it was a F250/2021. Even the sales guy was pretty amazed. According to Ford, the max cargo capacity of a Tremor is 2,900 lbs for a base model. Heck, empty a stripped diesel F350 Crew short bed is well over 7,000 lbs. I think you are mixing up cargo capacity and payload. Cargo capacity is the max weight rating that can go in the bed, payload is the gross vehicle weight rating minus the actual weight of the loaded vehicle. For your truck it would be at least something like 11,500 lbs minus say, 7,700 lbs (empty weight) and another 500 lbs for people and stuff. That would leave you 3,300 lbs payload Your cargo capacity is likely about 2,800 lbs EDIT: Wanted to add that on my truck, the door sticker said one thing, but almost at the bottom of the door, so you had to lie on your back to read was another sticker with hand written weights that needed to be subtracted from the door sticker. Had something to do with added accessories that weren't calculated at the factory. I know this is all moot to you guys This truck will meet your needs perfectly! You aren't putting a truck camper on it :-) But if anyone is following it would be prudent to point it out. Who knows, maybe it is all because the Tremor sits higher than other trucks and that is why Ford won't certify it for a truck camper.

[@prestonasay6525]

I mean you do lose almost 5000 pounds of towing with the tremor package. However it still is the best in class truck for towing. Ford is great.

[@josephcraig765]

Mine is only 1100 lbs lower than original. Mines an f250 though so it has the 350 ear and rear end anyway. So it’s a win for me either way :)

[@dwaynedwayne1964]

Since you are active people, I'm curious to see your shower option with this sort of living. For me that seems to be the biggest challenge especially when it's cold. I guess you can go to a gym, but not if youre up in the mountains for days and working out.

[@IreneIronTravels]

Yes.... shower is going to be tough. We will for sure use the gyms and campgrounds while we are in them..... but your right it will be tough while dry camping. We could carry an extra 7 gallon water jug for Showering, but we are going to be tight on space with all of our van stuff on board. We might just spend 1-3 days off grid no showers only wet wipes and then head back into the facilities! We'll find out!

We just bought a 2021 7.3 and it too has no front camera. I did find an after market system but not sure if we will pursue it. My wife drives the truck as her primary driver and she would like to have it. We will see, I found a KZbin video of a guy installing it.
