2014 Ford F-150 Tremor 3.5L EcoBoost V-6 4x2 and 4x4 - Car and Driver
Ford has had some success with special-edition pickup trucks, and the Tremor is the latest, as well as the last created on the current F-150 platform before the truck switches to aluminum construction for 2015 . It represents a departure from... Don’t worry, this is not your garden-variety V-6. It’s the 3. 5-liter twin-turbo EcoBoost V-6 that’s already dislodged many F-150 loyalists from their longstanding V-8 traditions. Turbo engines are torque monsters, and Ford’s 3. 5 huffs up plenty of it—420 lb-ft, ramping up steeply from just above idle, peaking at 2500 rpm, and sustaining that generous grunt most of the way to five grand. It’s a pretty good prescription for hustle in a hot street truck. Although it has decent ground clearance and the option of four-wheel drive (we tested both rear- and four-wheel-drive versions), the Tremor isn’t conceived as or equipped to be a desert racer. In the first scoring category, the Tremor measures up pretty well with its black 20-inch aluminum wheels, even better than pretty well when combined with the graphics package (although many of us weren’t fans of the truck in white). The standard-cab body reduces the truck’s visual mass, as well as its curb weight. Source: www.caranddriver.com
