Ford announced the 2020 SD Tremor package to compete with the Ram Power Wagon. It looks like it will be a great package, but I am disappointed they left off the winch, front locking differential, and disconnecting articulating front sway-bar.

That being said, it is going to have the 7.3 Gas motor as well as a Diesel option. It will have nearly the same towing and payload capabilities as the regular SD's. I am going to wait until they are actually out to make my final decision between the Tremor and the PW.

I get that there’s differences, but this just looks like every other F250 already on the road. I don’t really wanna call it a half ass’d effort, but that’s my initial impression. That said, I’ll bet every lil 5’6” Napoleon around here will buy one...

I tend to agree that it is a bit of a half-assed effort. I was expecting to see something that blew the PW away.

I hope Ford really knocks it out of the park on the next redesign, as I just got a 2019 RAM Limited....

My 2016 powerstroke has a locking rear diff and it has saved me more than a handful of times. I've also buried it in snow with brand new snow tires installed. If they would just add a front diff lock, I would we a happy camper.

I think it looks good if you want the leveled on 35s look from the factory. It's similar to what Chevy did with the Trail Boss on the new 1500. If I were in the market for a F250, I would probably buy it for the mere fact I could get color matched bumpers on an XLT (assuming it's not priced stupid).

All price stupid now.

I was hoping it would be more of a Super Duty Raptor. I can't wait to see what the ADMs will be on this.
I dont think there will be ADMs. Ford probably wants to spec as many Super Duties as they can with this package.

A locking rear diff is the more important one for sure. I have taken my Jeep Wrangler (3.5 inch lift on 37s) on all kinds of crazy off road trails & rock crawling adventures, we have only ever needed the rear locker to get up pretty much anything.

I was thinking a Super Duty version would be cool for the Baja racers. I have a customer with a Class 7 trophy truck who is a champion many times over. They have a 2010 Raptor as a pre-runner and a couple Super Dutys for support vehicles.
