Ownership F-150 Tremor Review: Pros/Cons

Going over our 20K+ miles in one year of ownership of the 2022 F150 Tremor! Let us know what you think and if you have any more info for our viewers.

[@arieljaquez5444]

Hey, really enjoyed your review of the Tremor, there are so many about the truck on a showroom floor, not enough showing how it really is in the world being used. Thank you for being real, im looking to buy a 24 Tremor. Has a few changes, but nothing major. Thank you for your service as a firefighter. 👨‍🚒

[@TheBoostedFam]

Happy I could help!!! If there’s issues I’ll let everybody know especially for how much they are now lol

[@kylesummers1565]

The General Grabbers definitely earn their name. They grab and toss every bit of gravel they encounter. I bought a 23 Tremor in March but went with the Coyote. I'm very happy with mine as well but getting better mpg. I've had a couple computer glitches but as you said they have fixed themselves. I'm at almost 10K miles right now. I don't tow much so I'll take the mpg and exhaust sound. Peace, Love!!

[@TheBoostedFam]

Great to hear a review on the 5.0! Sorry forgot to reply after looking your comment months ago lol

[@kylesummers1565]

@@TheBoostedFam I've washed mine twice. I think it's at about 19.1 mpg over the last 4k miles. It hates the wind, but I guess that is to be expected with any high-profile vehicle. I get better mileage (over 21) around the tri-city area. I haven't done a lot of tough off-roading with it, but it has handled winter driving very well. Peace, Love!!

[@cidlopez]

Thanks for the post. I’m trying to decide between a tremor and tundra. This tremor looks great!

[@TheBoostedFam]

Ive personally heard a few people not liking their newer Tundra’s and other refusing to give up their old ones for the newer ones… not a Ford salesman by any means (Ford has issues too) but I’ve heard more negative on the new Tundra’s than expected.

[@cidlopez]

@@TheBoostedFam I didn’t catch it in your video, your tremor a v6 or v8?

[@TheBoostedFam]

@cidlopez V6 3.5TT but when I ordered mine they didn’t come in the 5.0 V8 yet, but now they can.

[@jimsteinway695]

As a Porsche guy I put protection film on my 22 black tremor. Just a half film for $800. All along the rockers the headlamps all painted surfaces on the front. I want it to look new if I ever sell which at this point is doubtful

[@TheBoostedFam]

I wish I had done that too at this point, but I’m a little late now.

[@drewolm]

The pros and cons are all related to cleaning it?

[@cwqrpportable]

The Tremor is a fantastic truck!

[@layercake17]

Too heavy o gas

[@user-ov2qd2uh8s]

I just got a 2022 Tremor and love the idea of that open toolbox under your back seat! Can u tell me where I can pick one up?

[@kylesummers1565]

I have the under-seat storage, but I haven't seen it after-market. It looks like it is collapsible if you want a flatter floor, but mine is filled with off-road goodies and tools, so the dog will have to make do with the front seat or the existing floorboard. I guess you could build one since I thing all the back seats fold up.

[@markforest6176]

I see that you have weathertech mats. The rear one is for the extended cab only because you have the underseat security box, correct? I am looking at buying a new Tremor and was curious. Thanks!

[@TheBoostedFam]

No the rear one was made for the crew cab. It’s forms around the box correctly.

[@user-pk3pn4dr3v]

Those general grabbers would be the first thing to go before even driving it off the lot

[@Memento-_-Mori-_-982]

I have a 2022 Explorer XLT and I want to upgrade to the tremor but with the 5.0 on it, but I'll have to wait another year or two before that happens.

[@JT012]

I've had my Tremor with the 5.0 for 8 months. Love it.

[@healthylifecircle2801]

Great truck..

[@Nate-zy5ce]

That's a beauty! What kind of mpg do you think you'd get just long distance highway driving, no towing, no especially heavy load in the bed, just classic road trips? Might you get over 20mpg? 22mpg? And how comfortable are those seats on long distance drives? A smooth, quiet long distance highway drive? Thanks. The one thing I would do to your truck, add black wheel well covers in the rear. The front wells look black already.

[@TheBoostedFam]

I get right at 20 normally on our road trips and the seats are amazing!!! I like taking our truck over my wife’s ST with massaging seats if that says anything

[@Nate-zy5ce]

Thanks for the input, good to know, and I meant to say wheel well liners, though maybe that's the same thing.@@TheBoostedFam

[@TheBoostedFam]

@@Nate-zy5ce been thinking the same just haven’t got around to putting some in lol

[@danielcull5054]

'I did promise id wait for these tires to wear out before any...' "hmmm" I felt this in my soul 😅The wifey's just don't understand how bothered we are by the 4 inch rake and 33's but its a promise we have to make

[@TheBoostedFam]

I mean at 23k miles the tires are riding a little “rough” 😂🤣😂 sadly I was just looking at lifts 30 mins ago but that’s not the first time and I’ve held out haha

[@danielcull5054]

@@TheBoostedFam I was looking at the 2 inch ready lift just to claim the rake down for the time being.. Then when the tires are worn it'll be time for 35s 😅

[@TheBoostedFam]

@danielcull5054 same here! I’ll just tell my wife an extra 2 inches never hurts 😂🤣

[@toddreeder3082]

Beautiful Truck! Are the running boards removable?

[@TheBoostedFam]

Thank ya! Yes they are

[@davidzambrano9126]

What film did you use for tint? Llumar?

[@TheBoostedFam]

Yes their ceramic tint

[@wyliecoyote5.082]

Does the Tremor have the bending light beam on the headlights in corners?

[@TheBoostedFam]

It sure does. Well you can get it without that but my model does.

[@Nnatti_lawn]

402a has them - also levels up and down too - seems to not blind cars your parked behind at a stoplight I believe

[@bozartg]

The high end package does have the LED's that move as you turn. It's a super safety feature. All vehicles will have them someday.

[@kevinbreese5739]

What color white is that? is it Star white metallic tri-coat, or oxford white?

[@TheBoostedFam]

I’ll have to double check but it was the only white you could pick for the Tremor

[@kevinbreese5739]

​@@TheBoostedFam OH maybe in 2022 the only white was Oxford white. On the build and price now there is an optional star white for a $795 upcharge.

[@Jimanderson124]

Hey is the tremor hood vents functional?

[@TheBoostedFam]

I looked and I don’t believe so, just for show.

[@bozartg]

I've driven many V8's and I absolutely love the Low-end torque of my 3.5 Tremor. You don't have to rev the crap out of this engine to get the truck moving or towing including when you really put your foot into it. Plus, IMHO a V8 makes way too much noise. I love my truck, my son owns a Shop where he drives many trucks that come in for repair and when he drove my Tremor he was very impressed.

[@TheBoostedFam]

Great to hear someone else having the same experience!

[@grantdidthat]

What tow hitch are you using?

[@TheBoostedFam]

B&W adjustable with 3 ball size selection

[@SpanishGrows]

is the front tire taller then the rear ?

[@TheBoostedFam]

No same size. Angles can make it look like they are possible but they’re all the same

[@zackriden79]

my rear seat belt makes a werid noise with the windows down

[@TheBoostedFam]

Can’t say I’d know… my kids are using the ones in the back but even when I don’t have them with me I haven’t noticed but I could be oblivious to it lol

[@josipdolic6391]

Nice nice

[@Mark-zz9rt]

I wanna see 5 years and 100k reviews

[@TheBoostedFam]

Working on that 100k miles lol already at 28k in 15 months

[@Frdtsl]

With f150 5.0 Does 3.31 vs 3.73 fear axle make a difference?

[@TheBoostedFam]

Different gears ratios always make a difference no matter what vehicle if they have the same tire/motor specs. 3.31 would be more of a daily with better mpg but the lower (but higher) gears is typically better for towing or bigger tire setups.

[@Frdtsl]

@@TheBoostedFam would it matter if I got the 3.73 just for daily driving, no towing? Do they feel and sound the same when driving?

[@TheBoostedFam]

@Ply4L unless you’re trying to drag race it from red light to red light I would personally take the 3.73 just for I’d rather have the lower range gears for if you ever needed them… better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them…

[@Frdtsl]

@TheBoostedFam ok thank you

[@Frdtsl]

@TheBoostedFam I wanted the tremor but I don't like tge dotted yellow leatger seats so I might get the lariat.

[@gnarlytothemax]

lol 20k miles om a 2 year old truck isnt shit. basically brand new and under warranty. you better not have any issues.. more interested in how it holds up after 10 years and 100k miles

[@TheBoostedFam]

20k miles on a 1 year old truck* lol I’ll give an update at 100k mines in just a few years. In 5 years it’ll really be tested when I pass it to my daughter 😂

[@terryreceveur9319]

I have the same truck with the high end package. Frankly, I don’t think there’s an ounce of ‘real’ leather on those seats

[@TheBoostedFam]

I have all bells and whistles too but whatever they used for leather works for me lol

[@bozartg]

Why would you think that? I don't doubt the 402A package has real leather. Sure seems like it to me.

[@terryreceveur9319]

@@bozartg I’d be happy to be proven wrong, but compare it side by side to a vehicle with known leather seats and the difference is pretty clear. And lift up a rear seat and undo the zipper on the seat cover - look at the salvage edge of the material; that’s not leather. In fact, I don’t even think the quality of the Naugahyde or whatever it is is very good. The upper portion of the covers (where the “Tremor” embroidery is) seems thin, cheap, and it has puckers. And a post on another forum shows the finish lifting on the perforated seats - and this the portion I first thought just might be leather but apparently not.

[@terryreceveur9319]

One further comment: I’ve checked my window build sheet and nowhere does it mention “leather” 🙁

[@TheBoostedFam]

@@terryreceveur9319 dang now I want to double check my build sheet lol

[@solaydbak]

NEVER EVER get white paint from Ford. It's the cheapest option to get because its only one layer of paint.

[@wwz1011]

Actually most of the Tremor colors are the same price as the white.

[@jimsteinway695]

Why anyone would buy the 5.0 in a truck is beyond me. The 5.0 sounds better but that’s it. It’s a high revving low torque motor. Perfect for a track car like the mustang. If you tow anything it will scream so loud you can’t have a conversation in the cab. Especially going up hill. The 3.5 is a more superior motor for a truck. More torque in the low end. That’s EXACTLY why Toyota moved to the 3.5 twin turbo, and discarded their v8. Absolutely nothing wrong with the 5.0 but this is the wrong application. It’s similar to the 4.0 liter motor in my GT3 500hp 400 ft lbs of torque red line at 9000 rpm.high revving for the track not much torque. Who ever buys the 5.0 isn’t buying a truck he/she’s buying a car that looks like a truck The 3.5 kept me from buying a diesel. It easily tows my trailer, it’s faster than any truck I’ve ever owned. The Tremor is a fantastic package. I love the blue cruise

[@TheBoostedFam]

Thanks for saying all that for me and many others

[@drewolm]

You don’t have to deal with issues related to turbos. What’s it cost to replace turbos on these?

[@TheBoostedFam]

I personally don’t but the dealership I buy all my vehicles from give a lifetime powertrain warranty.

[@bcw686]

My question is will the 3.5 last as long since it has turbos making the engine work harder? I mean I have no idea but was told by several people to stay away from the eco-boost engines.

[@TheBoostedFam]

@bcw686 they were known for issues at the beginning but I’ve heard most of the issues were fixed before this model…

[@xaos1087]

This video is clickbate and almost completely useless for actual information on the Tremor

[@Frdtsl]

I disagree it's an unbiased opinion of a f150 tremor owner. I thought it was very informative.
