EP 202: F-150 TREMOR, DETROIT AUTO SHOW MOVES AGAIN, HOW EV CHARGING STATION LOCATIONS ARE CHOSEN

EV Channels Review

The Consumer Guide Car Stuff Podcast episode delves into the Ford F-150 Tremor, highlighting its position as a capable off-road trim level situated between the FX4 package and the Raptor. Reviewer Jill Ciminillo shares her experience driving the Tremor from Chicago to Indianapolis, noting its surprisingly comfortable highway ride and good road handling, even in inclement weather. The F-150's signature features like the kick-down side windows and adjustable pedals are praised for accommodating a wide range of drivers. While the standard 5.0L V8 is competent, the 3.5L EcoBoost V6 is recommended for its additional torque, especially for towing or hauling. Fuel economy was reported around 16 MPG. The review emphasizes that the Tremor is more than just an appearance package, offering genuine off-road enhancements like suspension, tires, and skid plates. The discussion also touches on the F-150's pricing, with the tested model coming in at over $72,000, and the Tremor package itself costing $7,500.
