If you always wanted the Ford F-Series Super Duty with a bit more off-road credibility, then great news as Ford has just announced the new Tremor package.
To be offered in the 2020 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty models, Ford’s new Tremor Off-Road Package adds new hardware and tech to boost the pickup truck’s rough terrain handling. Ford claims that this is the most capable off-road Super Duty they’ve ever offered.
“A growing number of Super Duty customers use their trucks for more than work. They’re fishing, camping and towing boats on weekends and they go off-road, so we designed this truck specifically for them – more ground clearance, bigger shocks, bigger tires and more off-road capability,” said Todd Eckert, Ford truck group marketing manager. “Tremor balances what customers demand in terms of work with what they need in the great outdoors.”

The package includes things like a set of 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac tires mounted on unique 18-inch matt black wheels, combined with a 2-inch front-end lift. This results into a 10.8-inch ground clearance, as well as the best approach and departure angles of any Super Duty ever – 31.65 degrees and 24.51 degrees respectively.In addition, the 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty Tremor comes with a best-in-class water fording of 33 inches.
The suspension utilizes new progressive-rate springs along with custom and pretty massive 1.7-inch piston twin-tube dampers. A new rear stabilizer bar is also present, along with a locking rear differential with electronic shift-on-the-fly engagement and a front Dana limited-slip differential.
Other hardware changes include off-road running boards that can tuck under the body, extended-axle vent tubes and the same beefy skid plates you find in FX4 models.
The 2020 Ford F-Series Super Duty Tremor also comes with an extra driving mode, called Rock-Crawl. This mode can be selected when the 4×4 low is engaged. Tremor-equipped trucks offer a 53:1 crawl ratio when powered with the 7.3-liter gas engine and a 44:1 crawl ratio with the 6.7-liter diesel engine.
The new Tremor off-road package will become available when Ford launches the 2020 Super Duty later this year.
