Want a truck that can handle itself off road and has a huge towing capacity? Well, Ford has the thing for you: The new Tremor package for its Super Duty pickups, which includes aggressive all-terrain tires, a reworked suspension, and lots of other new off-roading hardware. Meet your new go-anywhere tow rig.
The Tremor off-road package is new for 2020, and can be optioned on an F-250 or F-350. This isn't some surface-level appearance pack, either. Ford made a lot of changes, which included installing bespoke twin-tube dampers, retuned springs, an electronic locking rear differential, a limited-slip front differential, and 35-inch Goodyear tires. The front end is two inches taller, allowing for 10.8 inches of ground clearance and a water fording depth of 33 inches. The Tremor's approach angle is 31.65 degrees, while departure angle is 24.51 degrees. Other additions include power-operated running boards, extended-axle vent tubes, and skid plates.
The Super Duty Tremor gets five selectable drive modes: Normal, for around-town driving, Tow/Haul for—you guessed it—towing things, Eco for saving fuel, Slippery for low-traction conditions, and Deep snow/sand for driving on loose surfaces.
You can order the Tremor package with only one Super Duty body configuration—single-rear-wheel SuperCrew with a 6.75-foot bed—but it's available with the XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum trims. Buyers can pick between Ford's all-new 7.3-liter V-8 or a 6.7-liter Power Stroke diesel. The sole transmission is a 10-speed automatic. Ford says that if you want the Tremor package on an F-250, you'll have to also option the high-capacity trailer-tow package. The Tremor package will be available upon the 2020 Super Duty's launch later this year.
