From F450 to Tremor F-150!

[Hawkspring]

Well, I kind of took the long way round on this. I used to run an ‘05 Tacoma in the early days of expedition travel. I wanted a Raptor back in 2011, but military life was interfering. Then we returned from overseas duty and jumped right to an F450 and Arctic Fox camper and started traveling and exploring the SW with our kids. Fast forward they are bigger and we have a travel trailer, so the F450 has been sitting in the garage mostly unused. Just made a deal with a dealer to trade for a loaded Atlas Blue tremor.

Looking forward to getting back into a lighter offroad capable truck. We ordered my wife a 22 Expedition Timberline and both are super impressed with it, so this Tremor is going to be just the ticket for me.

Glad to see a good forum for them. I don’t use fakebook and always loved the community of car forums of the years. Anyway, truck should arrive any day and I will get some pics up.

Welcome! Looking forward to seeing your rig. You'll feel pampered on trails after the 450

Truck arrived but had some chips from transport and a door alignment issue. It’s headed to paint and body, no ETA yet due to holiday slowdown.

already purchased and awaiting the truck:
husky contour weather mats
sunshade
bedrug impact mat (planned ARE CX evolve shell, this will allow the led lighting from the factory to illum the shell interior)
console vault safe (had it on my 450, love it)

yes, I am sick.

Said goodbye to my glorious beast of an F450. Dealer made it an Easy deal on this tremor. 402A, tow, big stereo, bed junk, and blue cruise. My 8th Ford, but first F-150. Feels good to have a lighter footprint.

Does this count as mountain camouflage?
