What year model is this, 2024? I will be looking at a new truck this time next year maybe and am trying to learn as much as a I can before then. Was it bought brand new? Yes 2024. From what I’ve been seeing they are completely changing the interior layout and adding all functions into the infotainment system, you’ll no longer have the HVAC controls separate. I’m not a fan of the new setup, it can currently be seen in the Expeditions.

From the way everyone talked, Ford hung the moon, so I took a chance. What a waste of money.

Sorry your trucks a disappointment but you should have known better, go back to a Ram and stop trying to find a cure for a disease that doesn’t exist..

From the way everyone talked, Ford hung the moon, so I took a chance. What a waste of money. I had a buddy talk me into buying a Dodge dually back in 2000. I traded it in at 6000 miles, 2 months after buying it. Went in to dealer for oil change and e brake cable broke. Dealer wanted to pull down the auto trans. It was a dog with a trailer hooked up. I passed on the tranny removal, and went back to my local Ford dealer and traded it in. It works both ways. Sometimes you get a turd.

Every one I’ve owned has been reliable and great, Ford dodge or gm made no difference.

Steering wheel alignment is an easy fix. If off center to left then lengthen tie rod on left side and shorten tie rod on opposite side by same amount. Reverse if off-center to the right.

27,000 miles here with 6k in miles towing. Love it like the day I bought it!
Great truck!
With that being said, some of the 24’s were “strike” vehicles and I would not have bought the H/O output engine. 1st year for that engine and not proven.
Good luck in your future search.

Good luck in your future search. It’s the same engine just with a different tune. The issues ford is having is with the CP4, the transmission and the electrical system. And you can’t get a Tremor with the regular 6.7…

Maybe too late to post this, but you likely had your infotainment set to do “Auto updating”. The most recent update has crashed many infotainment centers. Worse, Ford knows however there is no fix currently available. October is the expected release date.
There is a ton of helpful of info to be found at Fordtremor.com if you are not aware. I have a 21 Tremor. Best Ford I have had thus far. Odd....the screen on my 2020 went down the other day but came back to life. First time it has ever done that.

Stainless steel headers and a water jacket turbine housing are not performance mods. It’s all controlled by engine tune via the CPU.
I can go get a bully dog or banks and get the same HP and torque as the H.O. Ford just figured they might as well do it from the factory.
And again, the issues they are having have nothing to do with the engine. The 6.7 is a bulletproof engine in either format.
You didn’t buy a Tremor because your a road warrior who doesn’t need the off road benefits, not because of any preconceived notions about the reliability of the engine

Ok, it’s more than a “tune”. There were changes, not the original “bulletproof” 6.7. Period. In addition, I have owned a 6.7 since 2017 with a logged over 150,000 miles in true reliable experience so didn’t want to change to a “improved engine”, HO.

My AC went out yesterday in my 2024. 10,000 miles. Said 2 freon lines were rubbing together and rubbed a hole in both of them. Mine is spastic. When I have the blower on the lowest setting it randomly blows full force for a few seconds, then blows ICE cold for a few minutes. When it’s doing this it doesn’t respond to the controls.
