Is the honeymoon over ?

[DanSS]

I have about 4500 miles in last 4 months of city and highway use with no off-roading or load haul. I only use 91 gas, either at Costco or Arco that are both supposedly better quality. Haven’t done the oil change yet but the ‘25 tremor seems to drive harsher in normal mode. I hardly ever use sport mode as even though the acceleration is great, and had babied the car in first thousand miles. Will this improve with oil change ? Thanks.

How's the air filter?

Just asking?
Harsher, How?

Yep.

"Seems to drive harsher in Normal mode" is not much detail for anyone to speculate on.

 

[Gpp]

I can’t comprehend what would change as far as that goes.

Harsher than what? What do you mean by harsher?

Not sure what you are comparing to? I've had both a '24 Lariat EB and a '24 Lariat Tremor, the Tremor definitely has more of a "sport" profile with regards to shifting and throttle response.
Now, if it only had paddle shifters,,,,,,,,

BTW, I thought you were going to replace the OEM Territory RT's with more of a street tire?

I m confused. I didn’t think the Tremor had sport or Econ mode, can’t find it in my 24.

sorry, what I'm trying to say is that my Tremors' "normal" profile is "sportier" than the non-Tremor Lariat I had. Other than an occasional Tow/Haul, I never change profiles.

My understanding is the Tremor has lower gearing and that gives it a sport feel and lower mileage. 3.8 versus 3.6

Agreed, but my non-Tremor Lariat had the 4K tow package, so it had the lower gear ratio. Since the Tremor has larger OD tires, it's actually at a slight disadvantage.

You would generally expect a sportier trim like a Tremor to have harsher suspension calibration than a mass-market trim. Comes with the territory, unless you're buying an expensive vehicle with air suspension.

Could be transmission learning. Pretty simple service reset on forscan

Tremor with no off-road use.

Previous thread about trading it for a Ranger Raptor.

You know what rides plush and smooth around town? A non-truck/SUV Lexus.

Wrong tool for the job, IMO.
