When Ford unveiled the Tremor, all I could think of was "running boards?" "no drop?"
#thereIfixedit
plus CAI, Borla catback, tune, Forgiato wheels, etc., etc.
Ice Nine put this together for Hagerty's Fantasy Bid contest that they hold during Barrett Jackson Scottsdale on Speed. Winner of the contest gets the truck.
As an aside, how do I find the Truck Yeah sub? I went to check it out and I realized I couldn't get to it...

I'd DD that. Looks sweet.
Truck Yeah is a Jalopnik blog, not an open forum like Oppo.

Right, but how do I go check it out? Is there a link to it somewhere on the FP or in a drop down menu? Didn't see one when I looked, maybe I missed it.

Sorry, just wanted to make sure. I looked for a link as well but didn't find one so I went to their most recent post shared to the front page and clicked their logo to get their main page. It's linked in my comment above.

Yeah, I figured a way to get there, and thanks. Just thought they'd make it easier? People want to see more trucks. Ok, I want to see more trucks. :)

I like the idea of Tremor...
But it should have a Raptor style front end, with the flared front fenders, but with the street-truck front bumper.
And it should have the option for the extended cab, and/or a step-side bed with rear fenders as wide as the flared raptor-style front fenders.
Basically it should be a street/sport alternative to the off-road Raptor, with an EcoBoost V6 or 5.0 Coyote V8...

The one thing that would really make this truck look awesome is losing the fucking instacrap filters!

In this case the filters are covering low light cell phone pics. Not much to be done.

I like all trucks. Monster trucks, sport trucks, work trucks, vintage trucks. I'm not a huge min truck fan, but some of the fab work and engineering that goes into the good ones is pretty fantastic.
I'm so tired of the lazy "sports trucks are worthless" narrative. I have a lowered Ram R/T, I live in Detroit, I drive it year round. So while my friends with their Mustangs and Vettes and Vipers are storing their toy for 3-4 months, I'm still having fun in my 400hp daily driver. Runs quick enough to sneak up on plenty of muscle cars, gets close to 20mpg, I can drive it year round, and I've got a giant "trunk" if I need it. What's not to love?

I love street trucks. I wish the big 3 would make more. I don't understand why car companies market all these big trucks with perceived off road capability. Sure a small few actually take these trucks off road (farmers, and contractors). The majority of people jus want a truck for utility. It drives me nuts when I see a loaded Ram truck bumping around in the mud. That rarely happens. I want to see a mid size production street truck. Something like this is great.

There's actually an advantage to having a "street truck" if you own a motorcycle - They're much easier to load!

With the EB there is sooo much power on the table for under $2k.

FINALLY some press on the Tremor...even though it took a tuner to get it noticed. Its a fun truck stock.
Now I guess I can stop posting about how its never been featured.

You're being sarcastic, right? This thing was everywhere when Ford announced it.
Unlike the Ram R/T, which for 5 years now has put up the same numbers, looks better, and is cheaper.

It was everywhere but Jalopnik. Unless my memory, and the search, are both on the fritz.

Street trucks need to come back. Seriously. How many of these jacked-up "bro trucks" actually go off road?
