Who is considering upgrading to the RT (Ranger Tremor)

[Ron Quixote]

Oz Tremor only has rear locking diff, same as FX4.

Also same as literally any Ranger with the $420 OEM locker as an option.

I read somewhere before that Ford was making a suspension upgrade kit for the 24+ with Bilstein shocks, so this lines up with the Tremor coming in. It would be nice to have a warranty backed kit with a mild leveling kit.

so you would be better off buying the xl and building it up? since the xl seems to all have the rear locker

FYI, you can get a rear locker on ANY Ranger trim level, even 4x2. It comes standard on FX4.

I think the pricing would be too close to the Raptor for it to make sense.

But hopefully it would have a higher payload and towing capacity, while still having an upgraded suspension (Fox 2.0s).

I cant see the payload increasing. Typically the Tremor package reduces payload on the F150.

My assumption was based on the fact that the F150 adds a limited slip in the front. The US spec Tremor may be like the F150 or like the Aussie Ranger. Apparently the Gen 5 Ranger Tremor did NOT come with an upgraded front diff, so my initial assumption is probably wrong.

If there is a LS option, it would be tempting.

I wasn't clear. I expect a lower payload with the Tremor. For some, that won't matter, but I need every bit of mine. I have a Lariat with the 2.7, so my payload is already lower than everything but the Raptor.

I have an XLT with the FX4 package and the 2.7L. Ive got 1430 lbs but would like a bit more.

I think I've exceeded the Tremor trim with mods on my FX4 XLT (and probably paid less than the upcharge). Tremor isn't for me, but a lot of people may find the upcharge worth it vs the headache and/or labor having to do things aftermarket. From my perspective, Tremor is a pretty niche trim on a lot of these trucks.

I had a 2022 F150 Lariat 501a (mid) and bought all the OEM parts and made my own wiring harnesses to turn it into a 502a (high trim). It was a really fun experience where I learned a TON, but I wouldn’t do it again. I’d pay the money for the high trim lol.

"upgrading"?

Be content. You don't need it.

for some reason that doesn't sound fun

i had to rewire a cj5 one time and it wasn't fun so doing a new truck to add wires into that harness would be terrible to me

I'm glad there are people out there smart enough to know my needs.

You already know it. I'm just affirming it.
