I've got the 2020 F250 Tremor, and I'll say there isn't much you can strip down to get a base Tremor, since you can only get it as a crew cab, 4x4 with the 7.3. During the pandemic they didn't offer it as an XLT, but with that back in the line up, you're not losing much, to get max payload, especially since it is sitting on the exact same chassis as the F350 Tremor.

This HD sized and HEAVY truck did surprisingly WELL on the off-road trails. I'm on the West Coast of British Columbia 3000 km away from Ontaro where it is much WETTER and MUDDIER so I would be very interested how it does on our local trails. Most of our forest service roads are WIDER than Ontario's back country roads so this HD truck won't be too bad to go off-road with. The much better bed capacity allows me to carry a big camper on the back with more fuel and camp hear for longer camping/fishing/hunting runs into the deep rivers and lakes backcountry areas. The 1300 lbs of carrying capacity using a Chevy Colorado ZR2 or Ford Ranger just doesn't cut it for me and even the F150 or Ram 1500 trucks can't move all the gear I like carrying to the backcountry. I'm more into GLAMPING than sitting in a small tent so I want my 3000 lbs worth of truck bed camper in the back AND my winter-insulated hot-tent with portable wood stove, full camp kitchen, inflatable bed and couches, hot water shower, toilet tent, big propane tanks and BBQ plus my propane generator and 50 gallons of extra truck fuel onboard, especially since I am usually staying for a full week or two traversing to my favourite backcountry rivers and lake camp spots!

The important part is that one sized doens't fit all. I live in the Great Basin. HD trucks do well, because it's wide open. Go into the Sierra Nevada's and a midsized is much better due to often narrow access roads with few turn around spots.
@patriot55266 күн бұрын
There is actually another truck that brings together luxury and off road capability. It’s called a Power Wagon. It foregoes the front limited slip differential in favor of a locking front axle and has 33” of articulation. It more than likely could made it through that snow, but if not, it has a winch in front to extricate itself. If it has to make a tight turn in a situation like that, you just turn off the ESC and give it a little gas and the rear will spin right around on a dime. It also has a 12” infotainment screen with an Alpine sound system. Your Tremor is a nice truck though.

What is the trade-off of the engine choice base (6.2?) Vs 7.3 vs 6.8 diesel for payload? Cheers!

3050 Lbs of carrying capacity is quite a lot of carrying capacity! If you are so inclined as a hobbyist builder, instead of paying $30,000+ for a truck bed camper, you take a few days to watch MANY videos on carbon fibre layout and construction and built YOUR OWN super-light-weight TRUCK BED CAMPER out of Carbon Fibre and add EVERYTHING you need for four-season super-insulated "Glamping"! One of my buddies did that and it cost him $6500 CDN in materials and a whole winter of weekends (about 8 to 10 hours of work per weekend!) to make his own custom full-size truck bed camper out of carbon fibre that has built-in toilet and hot water shower, king size bed in upper sleeping area, full kitchen with hot water sink and combo fridge/freezer setup, propane stove and heating system, propane generator with a 100 lbs winter-insulated propane tank, extra 50 Gallon fuel tank built-in for longer driving range, full 120V/20 amp AND 240V/30 Amp electrical service with multiple outlets inside and outside of the camper, drinkable water and grey water tanks, full CB/VHF/GMRS/GPRS/Shortwave transceiver radio, 65 inch 4K QLED TV with surround sound and XBox gaming setup plus it has a back-extending winter-insulated hot-tent extension with portable wood stove that comes out of an in-bed box in order to make a 20 foot by 16 foot living room if he needs or wants it. The camper has closed cell foam insulation everywhere for -60 Celcius-rated winter camping capabilities! AND it is less than 2200 lbs in total when calculating total camper weight plus water, diesel and propane fuel weight which still gives him 800 lbs+ of food, cargo and passengers to carry! He even got the camper painted by a friend with a matte clear-coat over a fancy set of evergreen forest graphics for stealthy camping. He's had it for three years now and it works great for trips up to a few weeks time in the deep back woods! He has all the comforts of home in a custom-built portable truck bed camper setup. If you have the patience and the garage space to build your own, save your money and build a truck bed camper yourself! V

No, @josephina24 Solid Axles don't have any droop relative to the lowest point, because the lowest point IS the axle. The first thing to get hung up, in mud, snow, sand, or ruts, is the differential or axle. You can "turtle" a solid axle vehicle without ever getting deep enough to touch the frame. It's stuck as soon as the friction of the axles on the ground or against a rock, or on top of a log, or inside a mud bog, or against snow or sand exceeds the traction supplied by the tires.
