Making that decision a little easier, the specialized Tremor and Raptor trims are only available with the four-door SuperCrew cab and the short five-and-a-half foot bed. I’m not even mad, as this configuration provides plenty of interior space and the short bed makes both trucks a bit more nimble in the dirt, which is where these vehicles shine.
The whole lineup of F-150s get a few exterior design tweaks for 2024, but it would take a discerning eye to spot them. On the whole the truck remains good-looking and rugged with LED lighting, bumper steps to access the bed, and a few appearance packages to bring a bit of bling if that’s your jam.
The first half of my day is spent in the Tremor trim. While this is not nearly as bonkers as the Raptor or Raptor R variants, it still has more than enough capability to get families where they need to go. New for this year, the exterior gets some cool orange highlights, an available modular bumper that’s just waiting for a winch or light bar, and the option of adding the new Pro Access Tailgate.
A 5.0-liter V8 engine is standard with 400 horsepower and 410 pound-feet of torque, with an EPA fuel rating of 19 miles per gallon combined. Alternatively, buyers can select the 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 for 500 pound-feet of twist, and the same fuel economy. That’s a no-brainer decision in my opinion. The bummer is that the cool 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6 hybrid is not available for the Tremor. This powerplant puts out 430 ponies and 570 pound-feet of torque, all while achieving 23 miles per gallon combined. Put it in the Tremor, Ford!
