THE TREMOR IS THE F-150 BUILT FOR WHERE THE PAVEMENT QUITS
You back it out of the driveway before sunrise, the 275/70R18 all terrains humming low on the highway, the 12 inch screen glowing with the route to the trailhead. Two hours later the county road turns to washboard and then to rock, and you thumb the transfer case into four wheel drive without slowing down. The skid plates underneath are not a badge. Neither are the unique front knuckles or the 3.73 electronic locking rear axle. This is the F-150 Ford builds for people who actually leave the map.
Under the hood is the 3.5L V6 EcoBoost paired to Ford's 10 speed automatic, the powertrain combination every other half ton gets measured against. It is a 4x4 SuperCrew on the 145 inch wheelbase, which means a full size back seat and real rear doors, not a jump seat compromise. Antimatter Blue Metallic over black sport cloth with the 40/console/40 front seat, so you get a center console when you want one and a middle seat when you need one.
From the factory window sticker: Equipment Group 401A with the Tremor Series package, 18 inch alloy wheels in dark matte finish, 275/70R18 all terrain tires, 3.73 electronic locking rear axle, 7050 pound GVWR package, tow/haul package, integrated trailer brake controller, Pro Trailer Hitch Assist, trailer sway control, Class IV trailer hitch, skid plates, engine block heater, and BlueCruise equipment. Inside you get SYNC 4 on the 12 inch center screen, the 12 inch productivity display, dual zone electronic climate control, six upfitter switches, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, outside temperature and compass, illuminated entry, power locks and windows, and FordPass Connect. Driver assistance runs deep: adaptive cruise control, pre collision assist with automatic emergency braking, BLIS with cross traffic alert, lane keeping system, reverse brake assist, reverse sensing system, rear view camera, post collision braking, AdvanceTrac with roll stability control, safety canopy airbags, front seat mounted side impact airbags, SOS post crash alert, perimeter alarm, and tire pressure monitoring. Zone lighting, LED reflector headlamps with autolamp, LED fog lamps, dual rear exhaust, power tailgate lock, cargo box tie down hooks, and the capless fuel filler finish it off.
The history is clean. CARFAX reports no accidents and no damage of any kind, no structural damage, no airbag deployment, and a title guaranteed free of salvage, junk, rebuilt, fire, flood, hail and lemon branding. The odometer reads 12,030 miles. This truck was originally built for the Canadian market and spent its early life in British Columbia, which is where that factory engine block heater came from, and it carries seven service records out of franchised dealers in Kamloops BC, Richmond BC, and Issaquah WA: four tires mounted and balanced, maintenance inspections, brakes and fluids checked, tires rotated, a four wheel alignment, an oil and filter change, and a shock absorber replacement handled at 3,351 miles. It was titled in Kennewick and carries no open recalls.
CARFAX also puts it in the top 25 percent for predicted reliability against similar vehicles, with a forecast average repair cost near $360 per year, and estimated roughly 19 months or 23,970 miles of factory basic warranty coverage remaining at the time the report was pulled. Bring your questions about that coverage and we will pull the VIN and go through it with you.
Twelve thousand miles is barely broken in on a truck like this one. The first owner absorbed the steepest part of the depreciation curve on the drive home from the dealership. You get the truck.
