So my Tremor has been home just 3 weeks now. So far it has nearly replaced our Bronco as our tow vehicle. If I have to do any bigger trailers or two a vehicle very far I will probably still use the Bronco, but for short strap car tows or our little 5'x8' Karavan trailer from Home Depot, the Tremor does the job perfectly. So far I have done a 500lb dump/recycling run, a sub 1000lb greenwaste run, and today I did the big bad heavy dump and scrap metal run. Loaded up was 6 trash can varying from 50 to 100lbs, a 50 year old stove, a camp oven, a couple bikes, a dissasembled eliptical machine, a stationary recumbent bike machine, old iron gate chunks, a 3x5 chrome steel mall display table, a rim firepit, a bunch of random metal chunks and a few parts from a squat rack, 2 45lb plates (for forward weight), some old T posts, 3 soggied bus seats, a soggy 3 place bucket/bench seat out a Dakota, and a few other bits of crap.
It was a big load and I could tell it was way over its 1483lb weight rating. But I felt it was safe enough for my 20 mile straight drive to the dump. Including its empty weight I was probably towing 2500-2600lbs. Reasonable enough considering the one difference between the Tremor and the 4k is radiator size. Also the trailer was tail heavy and I had to add 90lbs of weight to the front to balance it so that takes alot of the suspension issues out of the equation. The only real thing standing in the way of my dump run is our 16-17 degree, U-turn, rutted gravel driveway. Here is the footage.
Here is the second half of the climb. It did really well. Pulled solid the whole way up, never slowed. I used Mud N' Ruts mode with the rear locked. Its hard to tell but there is offset alternating dips along the way starting right when you see the Tremor. They are about about 6-8 inches deep. So it rocks the vehicle back and forth to find traction. Im so impressed with this truck.
