Ford F150 Fx4 Review 2014- Back in the early 2000s, games trucks were extremely popular. While the Camaro was stopped and the Mustang delivered a powerless 260 hp, the Chevrolet Silverado SS, Dodge Ram SRT-10, and Ford F-150 SVT Lightning all gladly spoke to the red white and blue with shouting V-8s (and even a V-10!) under their hoods. These game trucks didn't stick around long. By 2006 or 2007, all were stopped as gas costs went up and purchasers began searching for execution autos fit for pulling ass and turning corners. Most since have considered the game truck dead, yet some in the Ford camp were energetic to bring it back. While its no forte occupation like the SVT-planned Lightning, the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor is a kind of Ecoboost-fueled test by Ford to see whether there are any more game truck lovers out there.
While the two eras of Ford Lightnings were developed starting from the earliest stage be execution trucks, the 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor is a significantly less-intensive undertaking. In view of the lively mid-level F-150 Fx2 (back wheel drive) or F-150 Fx4 (four-wheel drive) trim level, the Tremor is the main way you can get Ford's praised Ecoboost 3.5-liter twin-turbo V-6 in the customary game truck arrangement of a normal taxicab/short couch. In spite of the fact that the Ecoboost is unmodified, it scarcely needs it with 365 hp and 420 lb-ft of turn on tap, mated to a six-velocity programmed. The main execution "adjustment" is the Tremor's electronic-locking back differential (all the better to do burnouts with) and its 4.10:1 last drive proportion. Whatever remains of the F-150 Tremor concentrates on the "show" instead of the "go." The Tremor dons the FX's hockey stick side stripes (complete with a Tremor sticker on the bunk), dark 20-inch wheels with all-season tires, and two game seats in the taxicab.
Regardless of the possibility that the Tremor is minimal more than a stickered-up F-150, in any case you'd anticipate that the enormous puppy will perform the track. Contingent upon what your desires are, it does. In case you're anticipating that the Tremor will be a faster form of the current F-150, you'll likely be satisfied. In case you're at last exchanging that old F-150 SVT Lightning however, you may end up frustrated. The Ford F-150 Tremor 4x2 quickens in 5.9 seconds from 0-60 mph, while the F-150 Tremor 4x4 does the deed in 5.8 seconds. The last Lightning we tried, a '04 model, required only 5.1 seconds to quicken from 0-60 mph. Its 5.4-liter supercharged V-8 may not have the capacity to beat the Ecoboost in mileage, however there's no supplanting the F-150 SVT Lightning's 380 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque.

The same story strives for the quarter-mile; the Tremor 4x2 tore down the drag strip at 95.7 mph in 14.4 seconds, and 4x4 of Tremor by and by was a hair quicker at 14.3 seconds and 94.4 mph. The old Lightning, then again, finished the quarter mile very nearly a full second snappier, requiring 13.6 seconds at 102.0 mph. While the Ford F-150 Tremor may overflow liveliness, its just among the speediest pickups we've tried by a nose. In our testing both the 2014 Chevrolet Silverado High Country and 2014 GMC Sierra Denali, furnished with the 6.2-liter V-8 and team taxicabs, were one moment slower to 60 mph than the Tremor. Braking execution is superb for the class, with the Tremor 4x4 in 118 feet and the Tremor 4x2 preventing from 60 mph in 115 feet,.
Cornering isn't fundamentally the Tremor's thing either. The 300-pound lighter (and inch lower) back drive F-150 Tremor made up lost ground on the figure eight, where it finished a lap in 28.2 seconds at 0.60 g normal. The four-wheel-drive F-150 Tremor required somewhat more of an opportunity on the figure eight, finishing the course in 28.6 seconds at a 0.59 g normal. That isn't an especially amazing figure for a game truck. Despite the fact that the last-era Ford Lightning and Ram SRT-10 originate before our figure eight tests, contrasting the Tremor with say, a 3.7-liter 302-hp V-6-fueled 2013 F-150 XLT expanded taxicab's 28.9 second at 0.59 g normal leaves a bit to be sought. Looking outside the Blue Oval demonstrates that the Tremor's lap time is normal – the last 2014 GMC Sierra 1500 SLT 4x4 we tried, tied the four-wheel drive Tremor's figure eight time, furnished with the 355-hp 5.3-liter V-8, while beating the two-wheel drive model's normal g with its 0.61 g normal.
Out in this present reality, the Tremors feel about as lively as their numbers recommend. With Ecoboost control on tap, both trucks rapidly and effectively impact out of the opening, yet the fun of crushing the long, thin pedal to the floor at every stoplight wears thin rapidly. Those trusting the Tremor can deal with a few corners should look somewhere else in the Ford lineup. While the F-150 has dependably been a decent driving and taking care of truck, there's nothing energetic about the Tremor's controlling feel, or ride besides. The Tremor 4x2 handles better than its heavier four-wheel drive kin, yet input from the guiding wheel is needing by and large. Despite the fact that the Tremor handles better on paper, the Ford F-150 SVT Raptor is indeed more fun (and better) to drive on and off the asphalt.

The Tremor isn't just defaced by style that compose checks the truck can't money, however it is additionally let around a really soak sticker cost for what you get. The Ford F-150 Fx2 Tremor begins at $39,740, including the Ecoboost V-6, 4.10 last drive with a locking back hub, and the FX appearance pack, which includes the dark hood stress and hockey stick stripes to the truck. Our F-150 Tremor 4x2 was additionally furnished with a shower in cot liner, and the Tremor Plus Package, which included route, a go down cam, a couch extender, and Ford's smart incorporated tailgate step, bringing its out-the-entryway cost to $42,210. Our four-wheel-drive F-150 Fx4 Tremor analyzer began at $43,855, and with the same choices totaled $46,325. For correlation purposes, a comparably prepared 2014 Ram 1500 Sport stickers for $38,535 in 4x2 structure, or $42,605 in 4x4 structure, or a Raptor can be had for a couple stupendous more than our Ford F-150 Fx4 Tremor's cost.
On the off chance that you can live without the go-quick stripes, one could likewise dependably get a normal taxi, short bunk base F-150 XL with the Coyote 5.0-liter V-8 (selecting the Ecoboost consequently provides for you an eight-foot couch) that comes generally prepared for a hair more than 30 thousand. Point is, without any serious execution updates, Tremor purchasers may be better off using their cash on a base trim truck and optioning it out as a sleeper.
The 2014 Ford F-150 Tremor may be a magnificent pickup truck, yet it doesn't exactly satisfy the game truck notoriety the last F-150 SVT Lightning had. At its cost, and provided for its execution, I think most purchasers would be more satisfied with the truck the SVT group has been investing a large portion of now is the ideal time with recently, the Raptor.
