That depends a great deal on the mission. A Raptor will not tow as much nor can it be a supercharged V8.Just get a lightly used Raptor. Better overall truck than the Lariat or Tremor and you won’t have to spend all that money on mods and upgrades
I can’t disagree with you more !! Terrible gas, mileage the truck’s a whole lot, heavier, terrible gas mileage again !!Just get a lightly used Raptor. Better overall truck than the Lariat or Tremor and you won’t have to spend all that money on mods and upgrades
To me the exhaust note is rather disappointing as well.
I like the way the look and drive. But the mileage you get out of them suck. I looked really really hard at them ! But went with the Tremor. On the Tremor I drove the V-8 , but went back with the V-6 . My last 3 trucks were FX4's and there still in the family! Running Strong.
Very true.It's really hard to find a 402a for a price I can do with the insurance payout.But I won't get anything else.
Possibly not surprisingly, what I am finding is that there are a lot of V6 models for sale and much fewer V8s, which is also a problem for me...
Did you get the screenshots of the two used 2023 V8 TREMORS that I linked on here a couple of days ago?
for 2026, it might be 402b or nothing...402a has the regular 4A and no torsen. 402b has the hi-loc and torsen. Can't option both so 402a is a lariat with a lift, 401a is an xlt with a lift and 402b is an xlt with a lift, torsen and raptor transfer case. I suspect customer orders will trend toward 402b, dealers will still order 402a because it has the highest price point and they should sell zero 401a because anyone who picks 401a over 402b doesn't deserve a tremor.
Yeah, I see that, I missed that line at the top of the 402A box.. odd that they list the hi-lock transfer case under 402B and two speed automatic AWD with mechanical locking 4wd under 402A (which I guess is the same thing). In that case, I guess the 402A is cheaper than it was (wonder what it used to have that it doesn't anymore).
As someone with a supercharged Coyote Tremor, I don’t disagree. I’m just saying, it comes stock with more of the mods he may be adding if he starts with the Raptor platform.
Agree. It’s about what you want. For me the ‘23 tremor 402a ecoboost with a tune is the sweet spot! Still can get 20 on interstate if at 72-75.
I haven't pulled the trigger on the tune yet though I have the supporting mods. Some day soon.
I've got the 2025 f150 Tremor 402a trim with the 5.0 and am happy with it.
Don't get me wrong, I'm definitely looking for one, scouring the interwebs, but to find a V8 402a is difficult, let alone with bed utility package, tow package, Torsen, et cetera. I'm also not seeing prices anywhere near that good, sadly. Even for a truck with 90,000 miles, it's in the mid $40k, USD. There are lots of V6's but I'd rather not have a V6, personally.
Yes, I did! Thank you for sending those. I think they were both 401a, though.
For me, a Raptor wouldn't work as well as I need the towing capability, but I do take your point. Although, being real here, I'd probably go to the Raptor forum and find all the upgrades and mods I never knew I needed and mod it out anyway...Just get a lightly used Raptor. Better overall truck than the Lariat or Tremor and you won’t have to spend all that money on mods and upgrades
Same!
Good point. I'm short and fat (sorry, "compact and famine resistant") so it's nice to have that step, especially with the additional lift. I don't need the auto tailgate and can definitely do the lights myself...
