General Tremor Predictions

[Jmav2152]

So to address something mentioned that is vague, what is meant by additional skid plates? Do we know what is being added? I'm assuming the FX4 and Tremor will have the same frame, so these could be added to FX4 without a ton of effort no?

You would think it may be a tad bigger and a more robust material. I believe on the real trucks they use a aluminum and it covers right up flush with the bumper. There's also a steel cover on the xfer case and a plastic plate on the gas tank. Maybe something along those lines for the baby tremor?

So lets break it down.
I would pay $500 extra to have less felt and more metal under my chassis.
Any old school 4x4 I would pay $500 for a locker and install it myself with new bearings $150. Plus half day of work.
On an old school I would also fab my own bumper because of how low that air dam is $500 in metal(maui price). Plus 1 day of work.
Suspension lift gonna do it anyway and upgrade the shocks so since the kits dont have shock upgrades lets call it $750 plus half day of work.
Trans cooler $150 2 hrs of work.
Upgraded shafts I would have to do after I break a boot or two as is customary. New ones $300.
Falken ATs not my first choice but its the best they offer and the upgrade costs like $750 or something.
More orange, well Im ginger so lets call that a $500 bonus.

These are the most important things that the Tremor offers that interests me.

Lets add it all up. $3700 plus atleast 2 days at work.

So yeah the Tremor is worth it. Yeah it will be better offroad and more durable in the rough than the FX4K. Looks are subjective. The tow rating sucks but I got a FSB for that rare occasion that I need to tow anything heavier than my ass.

So yeah Tremor for the win.

Its all subjective and you are absolutely right on the money that the package is worth its money if that's what you want. The cool thing is that your keeping a IRS rear while getting a locker type setup vs throwing a locker in a solid axle rear. Enjoying better handling and capability is always a plus.

You're hyping up the dual clutch but it sounds like you've reached the exact same conclusion as me. The theoretical improvements won't greatly increase the Mavericks real world capabilities - and even if they did the drawbacks are too great.

Has anyone done a side by side of the Badlands against the other trims? I saw one video using stock equipment, but it was street continental tires vs offroad wildpeaks. Not remotely equivalent so the comparisons were bogus.



Snarky with nothing interesting to say - my favorite! I ain't got time for rude little kids and if you don't want to address that hill of beans you're just a troll. Get lost or at least stuff a sock in it!

and yet you feel compelled to respond with opinion to what I posted to what I've actually seen in automotive press. Who exactly is the little teenie troll here? Obviously you.

It seems, and I've only seen one report, that the additional plate is the same one as installed on the BS+BL. I'd think the different bumper angle would make it a different part lay out.

Almost all of what you quoted wasn't directed at you. You're dumb AND a troll. Congratulations. Welcome to the mute list, kid.

Tremor mechanical upgrades only. Ref MotorTrend 8/1/22

Dual clutch lockable rear diff plus frt/rear lock mode
Increased cooling for the transmission. PTU AND the radiator
HOSS spec suspension with 1 inch lift
235/65R17 Falken Wildpeak ATT
Revised front bumper
Additional skid plates
Heavier half shafts
Full sized spare
5 GOAT modes plus Trail Control
Blacked head and tail lights and emblems, ok not mechanical but cool

Saying it's not much more than the FX4? I'd say it's not bad for $2,995. Plus the in/out trim up/grades and black seats which I do like.
Full pass on the appearance group

The package is looking more like a Bronco Sport drivetrain/suspension on a Maverick body.

If the HOSS suspension is indeed spec'd the same as what is on Bronco Sports then the Tremor should be capable of rock crawl/climbing among other improvements that you can't or shouldn't do with an FX4 package.

Next question will be based on the older H.O.S.S. or newer 2022 3.0 version

I just saw some Tremor bits. They are unique to the model and badass.

The links are to Bronco. not Bronco Sport, suspensions. Is the H.O.S.S. also on the Sport/Tremor as well as the full sized Bronco?

• Inspired by Baja trophy trucks, Bronco two- and four-door SUVs feature HOSS-tuned independent front suspension and coil-over shocks for high-speed agility in the sand and traction on the rocks; available Bilstein® position-sensitive dampers add more capability
• Bronco Sport SUV delivers thrilling high-speed off-road capability with HOSS-tuned independent suspension, uniquely tuned steering system and available hydraulic rebound stops on higher-capability Badlands™ series models

Still waiting on formal confirmation from Ford that a version of the H.O.S.S. suspension is indeed coming to the Tremor package.

Monotube, not your standard stamped and welded cheap body. Not Fox but not Monroe either.

It'll go around a turn track as good as a BS Badlands(Which I've done and its pretty fun) but suspension doesn't magically make it a great rock crawler with that wheelbase and untouched rear bumper.

Maybe not but if it also incorporates the disconnecting sway bar in rock crawl mode that is important to the off road aspect.

You are confusing Broncos. The Maverick is based off the bronco sport and that line does not disconnect the sway bar links at all. The big bronco does on two of the trims.

The maverick tremor doesn't even come with a front camera or a rock crawl mode like the Bronco sport if that's any indication that it's not built for crawling.

It's a trail blaster.

No chance. The Bronco Sport doesn't have a disconnecting sway bar.
