2021 tremor uneven wheel offset

I didn't notice it on mine until I installed aftermarket wheels and tires, front is definitely noticeably out further than the rear now.

So why are you accepting such a defective truck if you have others to compare it to? You as the buyer have final say to accept the deal or not and here you are complaining as a FORD employee about how messed up it looks compared to other trucks... Take that as your first flag. Walk away, send it back, get another! Almost sounds like somebody really screwed up and put a Ranger axle on the truck!

because I already own it. It pulled up on the delivery truck still wrapped in plastic, hadnt been PDI'd yet and I paid for it. and from the side you cant really tell. it was made obvious when the no drill flaps were installed. And you cant just send a truck back without first going through steps and not having a resolution, employee or not. hence why I asked on a tremor forum if this was common. Didnt think some smartass would shit on someone for an honest question, but then again it is 2021...
 
Just curious if you have the Dana or Sterling rear end, every Tremor I have seen has the Dana M275, maybe yours is a Sterling?

Not shitting on you - just wondering why! When I go to pick my truck up, I'll walk down everything ... you know that you have the option to walk away if there is something you don't like or they are unwilling to fix. You're under no obligation to buy an ordered vehicle if you don't like it.

I know you’re not under obligation. But after you bought and paid for it it’s yours. And that’s what happened. I didn’t notice till a couple days later, then started doing comparisons.
 
Mine is the same...spacer in the back? I do like a thicker ass...

Any resolution on this ? I had a 2020 tremor in 250 that’s was not this way and drove great ,i traded for a 350 21 and it drives like absolute crap but it has the narrow rear axle wear as my 250 did not
 
I wonder if by chance you guys aren’t taking into account the wheel flares that all Tremors have, but only two tone non-Tremors have. That would give the appearance of I’d guess a 1” or 1.5” “narrower” rear track, perhaps even more.
 
Every tremor I have ever seen has the rears tucked in, thats why there are hundreds of pages showing aftermarket wheel and tire changes. I work at a dealership and see every flavor of 250-550 many times a day, I notice it because I know to look, most people don’t ever notice, but believe me its there. My 19 250 really showed it when I put new rims on with a +12 offset.....rears were flush, fronts were out 2”. It depends on what angle you look at, but the tucked in rears are pretty standard practice on these superduties. I will be ordering a new set of either +12 or 0 offset rims for my tremor on order....will solve that problem before I take delivery!

Mine’s not.

See spec sheet from Ford. Front Track is wider than Rear Track. It’s normal and not a defect.
Been that way on Ford’s since the 70’s


Here is why:

forums.off-road.com

Why rear axles narrower?

Why are stock axles like 1-2" narrower than the fronts? What would happen on a CJ7 if you tired to run a rear axle that was a couple inches wider than the front axle? Some moderate highway driving would be seen... I haven't seen a vechile with the rear wider...probably some reason for that:)...

No sir not talking “appearance” talking tape measure center to center difference... then comparing to many of the other 19/20/21 super duty’s at work and not finding any with that much

Time to start checking the rear axle tags to see if Tremors have a different part number. I'm referring to the axle housing itself.
 
What makes you guys think the front fenders are supposed to be the same as the rear fenders? Or that the fenders are used to accurately measure the width of the track? Is that some sort of standard, or guarantee from Ford? The same on both sides tells you it is designed that way, and centered. The problem would be if the rear was off to one side.

If you are concerned about the track width, measure the front track width and compare it to the rear width. The fenders are not the measuring point. it's the outside width of the tires on the ground.

So, the best thing to do is turn it down and leave in disgust, based on an imagined problem. Then another guy can buy it the same day and have a great truck for life.

Totally agree! Many have gone way too far down the rabbit hole on this one. Dont worry about the things you cant change, especially when it is not having any detrimental effect. IMHO
