2020 release. Pretty cool.

I’m a big ford fan but they need to let me do their commercials. I guess liability keeps them lame.

Yep, most of that a 1/2 ton 2wd can do with ease.

I am ready for a new truck now and have owned diesels for the last 20 years.

Thought about getting the gas 7.3 this time.

The Tremor won't be available until after the first of the year.

I may just get another 6.7.

Isnt that about normal comparing 1/2 tons to 3/4 and 1 tons? If I want offroad capability im not looking for a heavy duty.

My 6.8 2004 F350 can do all that and It's paid for.

all the hardcore 4x4 guys convert trucks like taco to solid front axles not IFS...

Big plus to tremor is electric front diff. My biggest complaint has been lack of front diff to match rear.

Off road is very generic term.

I would think the switch to solid axle is a long term reliability/simplicity item and not for pure functionality.

Im not a hardcore off roader, but I would suppose that they are swapping those items into a 1/2 on or smaller truck and not using a 3/4-1 ton speaks for itself.

Pure functional ability and Strength. IFS send axles flying w/locker

Like I said Offroad is generic, lot of hard core builds based off 3/4, frame and power plants. Especially Baja style and expedition

Buddy of mine used to keep a 1 ton has flat bed with mud tires just for pasture use. You take that weight of the diesel out of the front and a big truck does pretty good. Especially a dully

from general off road ability to a $100K+ emphasis on the + baha builds. I still think in general 1/2 tons do pretty well off road compared to larger heavier counter parts. I know for a fact my last z71 and current ram 1500 do way better off road in 2wd and still some better in 4wd than our diesel 3/4 and 1 tons.

You mean $3k/4k or less. You want to talk general 4x4 lets see what most western BLM type ranches run. Gas(5.4/6.2) 3/4 ford and 5.4 dodge. Strong front end and more capable. Front ends just last longer then IFS and better 4x4 system

Not all 3/4’s are diesel and you would loose that bet with a gasser. It’s simple to give a Ford or dodge 3/4 3x more articulation, clearance and suspension travel over your Chevy IFS, toss in fact the Ford has a rear e-locker and it gets worse for you.

Jeep is perfect example Dana 44 and E-locker options. You are hung up on weight, which with a diesel is correct, for certain muds/sand situations

ok. longevity hauling loads etc. aside. Ive never stuck my 2 half ton 4x4's anywhere. We have stuck our 3/4-1 tons many places. Several of them we have used the 1/2 ton to drive past the other and pull it out. In fairness and honesty most of our 3/4+ were diesel. Maybe im wrong seems like I always am.

My chevy had a locker it worked great

I've stuck my old 2000 Dodge 1500 4X4 off road with the 5.9 gas engine 1 time and that was in a snow drift that there was no bottom to. I hit it at night and was sitting on the axles before I knew what had happened.

I’ve stuck everything including a motorcycle and combine. Solid front axle is a better hardcore 4x4 option

Off pavement I would much rather have a 1/2 ton than a 3/4 ton platform.

My 3/4 ton diesel sucks off road. Leveled with 37” tires it’s much better then stock but still not great. Too big and rough.

It’s a tough SOB though, way tougher than my last 1/2 ton.


But it’s all relative to where you live...in Florida Off road can mean a lot of mud, in Canada mud and snow, in Mexico or Arizona it can mean a lot of rocks and hills.

And tires make a world of difference. You run 31” Michelin street treads it’s gonna suck no matter what you drive

No argument. Was the video above "hardcore" off road? Looks about like what our county road looks like every time it rains, minus the rocks at the end. We don't got no rocks.

No it was a dirt road with a bottom, that’s like vast majority of dirt roads. More of duratrac tire video in my opinion

Believe this...he's jacked up 4 anvils, 7 sledge hammers, a D9, 3 SuperDuties and a few excavators

Wonder if they will have one at the fair

Et tu judde

Garbage, pass...mine is paid for!

They do. They also have all the engines on display. It’s amazing how much smaller of a package the 7.3 is compared to the 6.2. That’s the difference between pushrod vs OHC

Like a rock.

But they don't use a solid axle in baja style. Alot of the top rigs in KOH now are all IFS front as well and I would say it is the hardest single day offroad race there is with 100mph sand stretches and stupid hardcore rock trails.
