2020 F250 7.3 Tremor
Just got back from a 4,600 mile Western US trip which was long in planning. The trip involved pulling our 38' travel trailer and included a meet up with 3 college buddies for several days of four wheeling in Moab. I am very impressed with the towing and the off road capabilities of the Tremor. We hit a variety of trails and used the book by Charles A. Wells, "Guide to Moab, UT Backroads & 4-Wheel-Drive Trails" along with Trails Illustrated Topo maps of Moab South, & Moab North. We had two vehicles, My Tremor, and a buddy's 4-Runner with 3 inch lift and 32" AT tires. The 4-Runner had open diffs and struggled in some areas where the Tremor made it through taking the harder line. No scrapes or hits on the Super Duty but several for the 4-Runner including detaching one of the mud flaps. I was very deliberate in my placements and had pretty good guidance from one of my more sane friends. I must have heard at least a dozen times "You drove that truck in here"??? Mostly from the Jeepers and Razor drivers.

The photos were all taken with i-phones and the quality is OK.

I tried to include short videos but got a message that the files was too large. Anyone know how to get around this??

Below is our itinerary of trails we explored.

Trail # 22 - Gemini Bridges (easy) 13 miles total approximately 2 hours

Razor came down just after the Tremor - he did it faster but not better.....

Suggestion for the videos is to upload to YouTube and then link to them here in the forum. The links will automatically turn into a thumbnail that can be played inline.

If you don't want folks randomly discovering them on YouTube for some reason, you could set their visibility such that you need the link but they won't show up in search or recommendations.
 
Also: AWESOME trip, write-up and pictures! Tremor looks amazing out on the trails!

Ah you need to include the regular video link, not the studio link. The links you’ve included are to the admin page behind the scenes.
 
Looks like a great trip, the Tremor looks great out there! The quality on the photos is perfectly fine IMO. Now lets see some more pictures you might have and maybe the inside of the travel trailer! Thank you very much for this amazing post!

For the videos, make them Unlisted, not private

Was out in Moab the last week of April. The Tremor stayed at the KOA though. The Jeep ran Pritchett among other trails.

Saw more Tremors in a week in Moab than I've seen in the rest of the country combined since it was introduced.

Did see this guy on Hells, not a Tremor

We stayed on the South end of town at Spanish Trail RV. I saw several Tremors in town but none on the trails. I saw a video of an F-250 on Hells Revenge - how do you think a Tremor would do?
