How the truck is with unstoppable mechanics and its own style

It is not necessary to make a revisionism to mark the importance of pickups and Ford series. It will be enough to say that almost half a century ago It is the best -selling vehicle in the United States; 48 uninterrupted years to be more exact.

Of course, to sustain that leadership, it is necessary to always pursue the avant -garde. And there are no doubts that Ford has been doing it with its hybrid versions, with the incredible Raptor and now with a personality version, which surprises with its high degree of comfort and for the robustness and strength he delivers to face any obstacle: tremor .

Soon we will see available in our country beyond the F-150.

This tremor level gives even greater differentiation to the large truck of Ford. When the brand renewed its range, the aesthetic changes in the Raptor and Lariat versions were not very large.

On the other hand, in this new edition that is offered with an unprecedented face for our market, it is a whole novelty. In addition, it becomes The only one in the range of conserving the V8 engine. And just that is already an argument for more than one. It should be clarified that being pickup, it did not enter the pricing sales that Ford made after the announcement of changes in internal taxes.

The tremor tube has more rounded shapes and headlights, grill and bumper with another design. Even the Ford logo has a darker blue tone. The tires, bumpers, stirrups and mirrors are dark. If yours are chrome and brightness, I left here, wonder.

There is a detail that defines this model and repeats it on the outside and inside: The orange color. In the tube it gives it a particular effect, both by the bar that “floats” on the grill and the division of the front lights. And inside there are seams, appliques and embroidery that carry the same color.

Apart from cosmetics, the F-150 also has a specific configuration. It is further from the ground than a hybrid F-150 and wears intermediate tires that pay very well out of the asphalt.

The other strong novelty of his body is his double opening load lid. The traditional carries an electric motor that rises and low. The novelty is a door in the center of the lid (of just over 1/3 of it) that opens like the door of a car and is very practical to accommodate or remove objects. It is also more convenient if there is not much space.

Its suspension system is also specific, without becoming that of the Raptor. It has shock absorbers calling “tremor” (they played with the name) and a robust tuning that does not resign comfort.

Inside it is still a wide monkey environment, with a lot of space (a lot seriously) For five adults to travel comfortable. To give a reference: if a part (2/3) of the rear cushion is raised, something that can be done in a simple, fast and effortless way; A large washing machine could be accommodated in the space that is generated.

The equipment is endless and superior to that of many luxury cars. The driver has an electrical regulation of the seat (also the companion), the steering wheel and the pedal. The front seats are heated (with heating and cooling) and the rear have heating. The same as the hoop of the steering wheel.

The upholstery is leather, easy to clean, and The sliding sunroof is a window to heaven. Además, las pantallas ofrecen una alta calidad de imagen, y la de la consola central es tan grande que su uso se puede combinar una parte (2/3) con Apple CarPlay o Android Auto (de conexión inalámbrica) y otra (1/3 ) With travel information.

The F-150 Tremor incorporates the PRO Power Onboard, before available only in hybrid versions, which is a system that functions as an electric generator that allows you to connect artifacts such as tools or small appliances.

In terms of security carries a Great provision of assistance elements

The important novelty that incorporates this version is the Head Up Display, a device that projects information on the windshield so that the driver does not need to divert the look of the road. Informs speed, outside temperature, browser indications or acting assistance systems.

But if one connects double traction and off -road functions, andl Design of this display is reconfigured

But the element that will be valued by fans and purists is the V8 engine, which is in the only version that is maintained in the country. It is the traditional Coyote 5.0 aspiratedthe same that carries the Mustang, and that in this case yields 406 strength horses.

It is combined with a 10 -speed automatic box and a complete double -traction system that includes 4×4 automatic function, reducing box and several handling programs in which electronics acted based on soil conditions.

The test of Clarion It included the uses that anyone can give to such a pickup. First, the urban, which is not the most appropriate vehicle for this environment, not only for its size but also because of its rotation radius, which complicates simple maneuvers.

En route, on the other hand, it is a real pleasure to travel. Its robustness eliminates any imperfection or irregularity of the road. Ysi we have the bad luck of grabbing a very large well, the cushioning is responsible for invisible: if there is no blow. There is no blow.

Outside him explodes with all his power. We put it in the sand and there was nothing to stop it. Entre la fuerza de su motor, la rapidez de la caja de cambios y la eficacia de su sistema de doble tracción, hasta se siente cierta agilidad con este monstruo de 6 metros de largo y casi 2,4 toneladas de peso.

Its performance varies depending on the use. En route, traveling at 120 km/h Consumption 14 l/100 km. Spend 3 l/100 km more than the F-150 hybrid in the same conditions. But if the step is rushed to 130 km/h, the consumption rises to 16 l/100 km. That is why in city it is easy to overcome 20 l/100 km if it is not delicate with the right foot.

Anyway, who is looking for a vehicle like the F-150 Tremor will not be very concerned about consumption. What is clear is that you will get a novel and different truck, but with the power and ability to withstand punishment or to deliver high doses of comfort.
