Mobiauto went to Patagonia Argentina to meet the new Ford F-150 Tremor, which makes its debut in Brazil in a configuration to please those who use the pickup in rural environments, or who for those who like to go on weekends to the interior. Sold for R $ 580.000the novelty comes with both aesthetic and dynamic differences, but maintaining its characteristics already known as the Mustang V8 5.0 engine and the package stuffed with equipment.

Ford F-150 Tremor-Positive Points

1) Motor V8 5.0

O motor V8 5.0 Coyote do Ford Mustang It is still present in the new Ford F-150 Tremor, which follows here delivering no less than 405 horsepower and 56.7 kgfm of torque, which always works with the 10-speed automatic transmission-also used in the iconic sports. It continues to deliver a good performance to the pickup, so much so that it accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 7 seconds, not bad for a vehicle of more than two tons. Torque comes progressively and pleases both in use on the asphalt and on earth.

2) Driving

It also pleases how the pickup is well done in off-road use, where we can drive it through a trail on a beaten ground road, as well as gravel, mud and even snow. ANDShooted with 4×4 tractionthe truck guarantees a lot of safety under these conditions, without escaping the rear even when we take more load on the throttle. Also cool that even if the F-150 tremor is almost 6 meters long, it seems to be lower driving-the result of the good calibration of the direction.

3) off-road capacity

The Tremor line serves as an intermediate configuration before arriving at the F-150 Raptor-still far from Brazil. But the F-150 Tremor credentials please, so much so that it has good differences in relation to Black and Lariat versions. For starters, his suspension was completely revised and brings new springs, shock absorbers, as well as a new stabilizing bar.

The pickup also received new direction geometry and new front -axis sleeve. The pickup was higher too, which reflected at the minimum ground height (277 mm compared to 239 mm) and higher attack angle (28º before 24.3º). The maximum capacity to cross flooded sections is 600 mm. It is also worth mentioning the addition of lower metal protections, as well as the limited sliding torsen front differential, plus 4×2, 4×4 h, 4×4 A and 4×4 traction with reduced (L).

4) Off-road curve assistant

One of the most interesting systems of the F-150 Tremor is called the Off-road curve assistantwhich acts at low speeds. We tested the system on the dirt road in practice to see how it worked. It basically decreases the spinning radius in closed curves, which helps the use of the pickup in use in tighter places. For this, the assistant wraps the rear wheel to make the skidden pickup, so she throws the bucket in and ends the curve. It is almost a controlled “wooden horse” made slowly.

5) Off-road autopilot

For those who want to purchase the pickup and use it in a heavier off-road, Ford thought of an interesting system called Off-road autopilot. Such a feature controls the acceleration and brake of the vehicle, and works at speeds of up to 32 km/h, thus allowing the driver to use only one pedal – which is very useful in trail and mud situations. Ford ensures that the system is very useful and accurate, preventing the car from sliding in a steep stretch, for example, a situation that requires rapid alternation of the throttle pedal and car brake. To do this, the driver just drives with one pedal, letting the system act alone and reading the situation.

7)

Count on bucket sockets in a pickup designed for adventure It’s a great idea, especially when it has easy access by the bucket. The F-150 Tremor features Pro Power Onboad, with 120V and 20 amps, whose simultaneous capacity allows the use of up to 2,000W. You can place from a 400W portable refrigerator to a 1,200W chainsaw. For those who like to break new destinations and camp around, it can be a good one.

Ford F-150 Tremor-Negative Points

1) Urban use

Almost 6 meters long and more than 2 meters wide, the F-150 It is not one of the most practical vehicles to use in the city. Running on narrow roads requires attention like all other versions of the pickup, not to mention that finding parking spaces in urban centers can be a complicated task. That is why its ideal environment is the field and beach, as well as mountainous scenarios such as what we tested the pickup.

2) Consumption

With V8 5.0 engine under the hood, the F-150 Tremor It is notmore economical and currently. Horse drinking, so the praise -performance pickup truck even with more than two tons makes only 6.5 km/l in the city and a maximum of 8.5 km/l on the road. What saves it has a road autonomy of over 1,000 km is its huge fuel tank of no less than 136 liters.

Ford F-150 Tremor – Vale a pena?

Sold for $ 580,000, it arrives for $ 20,000 more only with a portion of visual news, more stuffed list of equipment and a more parruda suspension (with the right to differentiates Torsen) for those who are not afraid to put the pickup in the most difficult places. No doubt it is the best option currently among the large pickups, after all, RAM has stopped selling the 1500 Rebel and Chevrolet offers nothing more to the Silverado In addition to a luxurious option. With this news, it is capable of F-150 Climb in sales and try to seek the best -selling rival in the segment.
