I am a long-time Raptor owner (10+ years over two generations) and I am considering the move to a new Super Duty, mainly for towing a 7000 lb travel trailer. My current Gen 2 Raptor has Toyo RT 37s along with a lot of other suspension/performance mods, so I am no stranger to modified Ford trucks.
If I am planning to do a 3.5" Carli Pintop Suspension with Add-a-pack leafs and 37s on my new Super Duty, is there any reason to buy the Tremor package? I will be replacing the Tremor tires/wheels and shocks, so what else do I get with the Tremor package? I see there are $1710 in discounts when you combine the Tremor with various Lariat and trailer towing packages, so that makes the price of the Tremor package more reasonable. (I want the Lariat and towing packages one way or the other) However, It looks like I can get a similarly equipped Lariat Sport/Ultimate with Diesel and High Capacity Trailer Towing for about the same money, but there seems to be better discounts available for the non-Tremor trucks. Do I get the Tremor just for the cool factor?
I want the diesel for towing, but I can be talked out of it if the 4:30s with the 7.3L gas engine are the right way to go for a truck with 37s that will be used more for towing than off-roading. Most of the Tremor diesels I have found in Texas are spec'd with the 3:55s and high capacity towing option, plus I really like the idea of 1050 lb-ft of torque for towing my TT across the country in the upcoming year.
