2014 Ford F 150 Tremor MPG - Passage has had a few accomplishment with exceptional release pickup trucks, and the Tremor is the most recent, and also the keep going made on the current F-150 stage before the truck switches to aluminum development for 2015. It speaks to a takeoff from past pickups made by Ford's Special Vehicle Team (SVT) skunkworks, (for example, the Lightning and Raptor), with a V-6 motor giving push as opposed to a decent ol' enormous inch American V-8.

Sound a bit sinful? Don't stress, this is not your arrangement assortment V-6. It's the 3.5-liter twin-turbo Ecoboost V-6 that is now ousted numerous F-150 supporters from their longstanding V-8 conventions.

There's a decent explanation behind this. Turbo motors are torque creatures, and Ford's 3.5 spats up a lot of it—420 lb-ft, increase steeply from just above unmoving, topping at 2500 rpm, and managing that liberal snort the majority of the route to five thousand. There's moment throttle reaction, as well, bolstering torque to a 4.10:1 backside with an electronically bolting diff. It's a really decent medicine for hustle in a hot road truck.

Road Cred

Road cred is the thing that the Tremor is about. Despite the fact that it has fair ground freedom and the choice of four-wheel drive (we tried both back  and four-wheel-drive forms), the Ford F 150 Tremor isn't imagined as or prepared to be a desert racer. That is the area of the sublimely devilish Raptor (take a stab at saying that three times quick without seeming like Elmer Fudd).

In the city, cred goes to presentation and straight-ahead execution. In the first scoring class, the Tremor measures up really well with its dark 20-inch aluminum wheels, far and away superior to really well when joined with the representation bundle (albeit a large portion of us weren't aficionados of the truck in white). The standard-taxicab body lessens the truck's visual mass, and in addition its check weight. Inside that taxi, the dark inner part is accentuated with clever red sewing and brilliant trim, and its nothing if not studly. The dark basin seats, with cowhide supports and fake velour focuses, are scandalous in appearance and strong in hard cornering.

All the more on hard cornering in a moment. In the first place, how hot would it say it is? How about we say its well above room temperature, however not exactly torrid—6.0 seconds to 60 mph, which is really snappy for a vehicle that weighs 5123 pounds. The 4x4 adaptation, 238 pounds heavier, did the dash in 6.4.

That is still really lively, however it loses a bit of its shine contrasted and some greater, four-entryway turbocharged F-150s we've put on the clock. For instance, the Ecoboost Fx4 Supercrew 4x4 we tried in 2011 (at 5699 pounds, 338 heavier than the 4wd Tremor) sprinted to 60 mph in 6.1 seconds. An alternate 0-to-60 viewpoint: In 2001, we hustled a F-150 Lightning to 60 in 5.2 seconds and through the quarter-mile in 13.8 at 104 mph. Yes, the Lightning had a voracity for smoky burnouts and, with 380 steeds and 450 lb-ft from a supercharged 5.4-liter V-8 in a 4702-pound pickup, an enormous edge in force to weight. Yet, what does that say in regards to this last day road pole? The Tremor's high temperature doesn't generally measure up to the presentation.

Conscious Dynamics


As you'd expect, the Tremor isn't precisely Dancing with the Stars material, something that is valid for pretty much any generation pickup. In spite of the fact that body movements aren't extreme for a vehicle of this sort, transient reactions are hesitant, and hold supplied by a set of all-season Pirelli Scorpions (275/55-20)—is so-so at 0.75 g, with or without 4wd. Push the Tremor into a corner with unnecessary energy, and you'll end up heading straight for the brambles. The solidness control can be debilitated, yet this doesn't diminish the hesitance to pivot into a corner, and its not clear why anybody would need to switch it off at anyway.

Stresses on the Positives

There are different upsides. For one, this is the main F-150 standard taxi that offers the 3.5-liter Ecoboost V-6. Most standard-taxi pickups go to armadas, and the dominant part of those go out the entryway with Ford's characteristically suctioned 3.7-liter V-6, the base motor for the lineup. With Ecoboost power, the Tremor can tow up to 8000 pounds.

For an alternate, Ford's Sync and Myford Touch telematics, some piece of the Tremor bundle, incorporate some huge HVAC and sound controls, intended to suit drivers who may be wearing work gloves. It's tricky to envision anybody procuring this specific bundle on account of a true work-truck plan, however we respect the customary handles and catches in any case.

Additionally, the Ecoboost six improves EPA mileage rating in the back drive Tremor—16 mpg city and 22 interstate than in trucks impelled by V-8 motors. The 5.0-liter V-8 is appraised 15/21. (The EPA advantage runs away with 4wd, which is likewise evaluated 15/21.) However, accomplishing anything near those interstate numbers obliges an extremely restrained right foot—support is propensity framing, in this or some other turbo motor. We logged 15 mpg with both trucks, which was just 1 mpg thriftier than the much quicker SVT Lightning V-8 we tried 13 years prior.

Extraordinary bundles involve uncommon estimating. The F-150 Tremor Fx2 begins at $40,030 and incorporates the Ecoboost V-6, 4.11:1 last drive, 20-inch tires, power flexible pedals, a CD player, HID headlamps, dark tubular running-board rails, and dark painted 20-inch aluminum wheels. Our truck was likewise outfitted with the Tremor Plus bundle (route, remote begin, a pickup couch extender, a tailgate step, a rearview cam, and a converse sensing framework for $1995).

Attach $475 for the spread in bedliner—proposed for any pickup truck—and you have a stupendous aggregate of $42,500. That is with back wheel drive. Requesting four-wheel drive will set you back a couple of thousand dollars additionally totaling $46,325 for this situation.

Does that appear a bit soak? In case you're stricken with the styling—and styling is the thing that the Tremor is about consider this: You're taking a gander at a potential collectible. At the point when Ford's 2015 aluminum F-150 miracle truck assumes control over, the earth evil presence Raptor will return, however the Tremor won't make the cut one year from now. Furthermore as we watch so regularly, individuals will gather just about anything (Pez containers, Shriner memorabilia, and so forth.), particularly constrained versions. A club may be shaping even presently. Yet we'd take our $45,000 and plunk it down on the way cool—and V-8–powered—raptor instead.
