Tremor tow vs 4k tow package

[Rivers90]

I have yet to tow anything with any vehicle I have owned.



But a bigger tow number would be cool to impress people on the internet.

I think if you can tow small dirt bike or atv that’s all I would ever think to need tow personally

My tow rating is 5000 phalluses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Higher with weight distributing knee pads.

Not necessarily relevant. The odds that it will overheat regardless the size of the rad is very low. I have pulled all sorts of things over the technical spec and never had something overheat. You are much more likely to feel uncomfortable with the suspension well before you hit limits of the power train. Thus, airbags.

Correct, it will not bother me in the slightest to pull 4K.

If it overheats just crank up the cabin heaters on blast and then you won’t over heat, well you will but your truck wont

Looking at the difference between the Tremor vs FX4 tow package .
1.Tremor had 3.81 ratio
FX4 has 3.81 ration
2. Tremor has heavy duty trans cooler
FX4 tow has heavy duty trans cooler
3. Tremor has a different Radiator & fan then the EV or the FX4 tow , this is the only difference I see.
So with a brake controller installed you should be able to tow 4000 k.

Your forgetting the AWD drivetrain and suspension required for 4K tow capability

Yes, the suspension is certainly a problem! I loaded my Polaris 570 in the back of my tuck and it's like driving a football because the suspension is so soft in the back.

Imagine so, that's a heavy 4 wheeler. By the time you load that, bunch of other gear and some passengers your at about the max payload I would imagine

I'm Wondering if the 1500lbs air bag kit would help to at least get the tow up to around 3000lbs.

The other thing I had trouble with was the small radiator when towing. I pulled my 10' aluma trailer (425 lbs) with my Polaris General on it over the Bighorn mountains & before I made it to the top, an engine over temp warning light came on and it derated my power for a short time until the temp came back down. Is there a fix for this ? THX

I'd be checking part numbers on fans to see if the 2.0l eb # is the same as the Tremor. If so the 4K fan should fit.

It's the rear end. Can't take the "load"

Wasnt their a radiator hose clamp issue early on, may that was the Bronco?

Hey mav man74, been long time! Hope your wife is doing well!
My hpr tremor is awesome! 6000 miles now. Picking up a small travel trailer and might have to go closer to 3000 lbs! I dont think that will be a problem if I keep the tongue weight reasonable

Aloha, Josi is hanging in there. Having our Tremor sure does help. Probably just avoid using the diff locker when towing. I think it has more to do with the springs, can't remember if you got air bags but that could help with sag and stability. Have fun!
