So, I'm a Jeep guy through and through. Had to make the gut wrenching decision to trade my '20 Gladiator Rubicon in on my newly acquired '22 150 402A Tremor. I really wanted to go the Super Duty Route, but couldn't justify the wait and extra funds for a truck I didn't "need". Anyways, my boys and some doggo additions just made the Gladiator impractical... which sucked. But, I'm happy with the truck so far, and I'm loving all the room. The biggest adjustment has been what seems to be a limited aftermarket selection compared to the Jeep world.

This is my second 150, my first was a '14 XLT 302A pickup... had to buy it to move across the country for a job offer, as the LJ Wrangler couldn't make it happen. I have regretted getting rid of that Jeep everyday, and had that pickup for 9 months until I traded it in for another Jeep.

Welcome! My first car was a 97 TJ Sport. I really have started liking the Gladiator. There are a few in my area that are kitted up quite nicely. Nothing will beat the F150 though you're going to love it.

Yeah, I love it already… but it’s just apples and oranges comparison wise. Looking forward to billing this thing out tho!

Welcome! I have been a F-150 guy for 4 generations of the truck now but that gladiator almost got me! I Test drove a Mojave and really tried to talk myself into it, but after being in full sized trucks for the past 15 years or so it just felt to cramped and busy inside. That and like you the 3 kids wouldn’t quite fit inside without a cattle prod! Got the Tremor and haven’t regretted it a bit!

Welcome, I think Ford and the aftermarket industry are starting to catch on that "We the people, who buy their products have the right to modify how we want them" in other words Ford is playing catch-up to get more companies in the aftermarket involved in making stuff available. They really didn't have to worry about this till the last few years, enter the raptor and bronco, now the tremor, so give it a few months and you'll start seeing more aftermarket upgrades.

Same thing here, sold my gladiator a few weeks ago but have 3 kids and it is just tough to fit them.

have had 3 F150s and they are great but I always miss having a jeep come spring and summer.

hopefully my tremor is built soon....tired of driving around an old Ford Escape and definitely miss the Gladiator...its a great all around mid-size, just too small for 3 kids.

my wife is happy as she likes the comfort of the F150 over the gladiator

Welcome to the forum @Rexor91 Any mods planned for the Tremor?

I'll likely do a leveling kit with shocks, wheels and tires... but we'll see what comes out in the wash product availability wise. I'm also eying the Decked Tool box

Sucks man, I loved my Gladiator... but now I'm in the market for another LJ. That was my all-time favorite Jeep -- and I've got a '76 Wagoneer to throw a 401 in and tinker with. So, I'll live I guess lol
