Official: Ford Ranger Tremor (North America) Confirmed for Later 2026!

[cc1999]

Those pictures are all from overseas markets (Australia and Europe). TBD what it actually is here in North America.

Yea, I just wanted to put some images in the thread of what we sort of expect it to look like based on the Global versions. I am betting we don't see that rack least not as standard here in the US version.

In general, most trims tend to be pretty close globally, the Raptors still look like Raptors here or anywhere. XLT and Lariat seem to look the same as well.
Colors do seem to vary a bit, along with available options.

I'll wait to see pricing, but you could probably upfit an XLT into a more capable version of the Tremor for cheaper than the package cost... Thats kind of the approach I took with mine before the Tremor was an option. Of course I recognize that a lot of people wouldn't want to deal with that, so thats why this exists.

The prior Tremor had Fox shocks with a mild lift, which I thought was pretty nice part of that package. It will be interesting to see what we get this time if it's Bilstein shocks or FoX.
I think the higher end name brand shocks with a little lift is a big part of what makes the Tremor pkg attractive.

Also curious if we will get the +40 offset 17" rims the 5th gen tremor had.
Those tend to look pretty sharp on the 6th gens I have seen.

The Raptor is a good value relative to the competition, I would only point out that I see Colorado ZR2s and Tacoma TRD Pros at 10% under MSRP while most Raptors are still selling at or above.

But I think the Raptor premium is justified.

I got my Lariat around 14% off sticker with Ford and dealer discounts so it's not really as easy as comparing a $51k Lariat to the $56k Raptor, for example. Although I did see a $2k off Raptor on the forum so maybe the ice is breaking!

Wish our's were that close . I got my Lariat FX4 for $58K the Raptors go for around $80K here in Canada.

It's at least a $12k premium, I paid $44k and a Raptor would've been $56k+ based on quotes I was getting.

Now add the 2.7L v6 for 2.5k and 4k tremor package and you're very near Raptor money.

Is this considered equivalent interior specs vs lariat though? With other vehicles sometimes there is slightly more off-road but not as nice interior version that is equivalent to top of normal specs.

I suppose if you got an XLT tremor like you could in the 5th gen it could be a deal? XLT starts at $35k so that's ~43.5k with Tremor if it's a 4k option?

Yea.
They start getting a bit closer when you option the Lariat with the 2.7L V6.
A V6 in a Lariat adds another 2K.

I paid $58K for my 25 RR.
I paid $48K ea prox for the 3 Lariat 2.7Ls I bought for the company late last year.
Right at a $10K difference.
Drop that to about a $7K difference if you take out the rebates.
Drop that to a $4K difference in MSRPs.

The problem is the people at Ford developing the pricing strategies for how different trims and pkgs price out, I believe largely are looking at the MSRP's more so than the real-world transaction prices that we typically see when actually buying the trucks.

As many know deep discounts are generally only seen on non-raptor models.
Raptors tend to actually transact very close to MSRP.

I believe if it is like the last US Tremor it will be offered as an option pkg on the XLT or the Lariat.
That was how it was in 2023.

Someone mentioned back at the start of this thread that other product models have made Tremor its own trim level which, that would be new territory for us US customers. It was an option pkg like the FX4 pkg in the 5th Gen Ranger.

Have you actually priced any of those "other" top trim trucks?

The Raptor is currently an absolute bargain for what you get.

Yes, I have. I shopped them all over the last few months and brought home a loaded Rubicon. Loaded Rubicons are going for $50k. A GM ZR2 similar. The Raptor is astronomically priced for what it is. I honestly don't understand how it could be viewed otherwise.

The Tremor is now a trim in all other NA models that offer the Tremor. It wouldn’t make any sense to do it differently just for the Ranger, especially if it only comes with the 2.7l engine. I think the gap since the last gen all but makes that a sure thing that it will also be a trim and not an option like the FX-4.

Sorry to be rude, but you're smoking something

The Wrangler Rubicon isn't comparable. You must mean the Wrangler Rubicon 392 which is $100k. That's got a comparable powertrain to the Ranger Raptor.

The Rubicon is great, don't get me wrong, but it has a Dodge Caravan engine and last time I checked it can rock crawl but it sure can't jump like the Raptor can.

Good call. The first post should have included the pictures. For me, I come here to read, not click links and be directed somewhere else.

Oh, yea.

I always felt the old saying a picture says a thousand words was so true, and really I find forums much more entertaining to read and look at if there is pictures involved largely to help tell the story.

‘Only reason I have a YouTube channel is to give me a source for video just for posting visual aids on forums topics like I post on here.

No, I don't mean 392 which is a special limited edition (and I'm not sure is even available anymore in favor of a new Moab special edition that's FAR less money). I'm talking top trim levels. Rubicon in Wrangler/Gladiator. Raptor in Ranger. ZR2 in Colorado. Pro-4X in Frontier.

In shopping, and by shopping I mean going to dealerships and talking to them about these trucks, I found that the Ranger Raptor is the most expensive by a LONG shot. Hell, you can buy a USED Raptor with 5k miles on it for close to the same price as the competitors if you want. But if you insist on new you're looking at $10k more money just to get started.

I'm not knocking the Ranger. The Ranger is on my short list for my next pickup truck. All I'm saying is that the idea that the Raptor is a "great bargain" is insane. That truck is HEAVILY overpriced.
