2021 Tremor - Iconic Silver
So took the dogs on adventure to get a little of the pavement princess dust off the Tremor. Didn't have time for the entire Black Mountain Truck trail but the first half was more than enough for the boys.
First, this truck makes it way too easy! Trail assist takes some getting used to, but quickly becomes very comfortable.
Second, trail turn is really nice. While none of the turns really needed it, trying it out showed how much potential it has.
Third, this truck has the right setup to give confidence going damn near anywhere. A Jeep headed back up, said he was really shocked I brought a full size truck up there. I said it was so sure footed there was never even a moment's hesitation.
Can't wait to get back out again!

Just got mine today, ordered in Mid January with 401 package & Torsen. Can’t wait to take it out soon after the break in period. Nice color by the way. PS I’m averaging 18-20 MPG with a new unbroken engine. So far I’m impressed.

That's sweet man. Is that black mountain in the NC area? I think I remember driving through that area on my last trip to the parkway. Would love to take the tremor through when I'm there this September.

Actually Black Mountain in San Diego County... just a hop, skip and a long jump from NC!

I wish black mountain NC looked like that! @Cranbery If you do head back up to SC-NC area I can recommend some areas to check out.

Please do!

I have a VRBO for the week of labor day, right outside Brevard, NC. Taking my gravel bike to hit Pisgah and duponte, kayak for a few of the lakes, plan to do some rafting, and a lot of hiking. Would love recommendations, especially for any good truck trails. Dying to do some actual truck shit in this thing, but I'm surrounded by concrete and city here.

Gulches ORV isn't too far from there, ~3.5 hrs in SC, plus several places near Brevard to take it, @ChsTremor I'm sure can point you in that direction, lots of awesome mountain biking in that area. Labor day weekend will probably have something going on at Gulches so you could get a show as well.
 
I'm in NC and will defiantly need to know some good areas for camping, hiking, and fishing soon.
