Once again, shout to whomever produces/edits lately for taking the time to add in a ton of footage and images of the actual trucks while the guys are talking. Adds so much to the video vs. just having an image on the screen behind them 🙌🏼
Your vids on the Rebel helped influence my decision to buy my 22. It’s been a great daily and overland rig. It’s offroad capability has surprised me, and it’s a fantastic road tripper. Only issues after 31k miles were a loose mirror glass that was replaced under warranty, and some infotainment glitches that were fixed with an update. I’m keeping it for a while, and do plan on putting small (probably an Icon) lift on it to fit 35s. But if I did need to replace it in the next few years for some reason, that ZR2 has caught my eye….
I'd have bought Tremor pkg. on my 2022 F150 5.0 but need 6.5 foot bed for carrying kayaks & ability to camp. So went with the FX4. I did add transmission skid plate from Raptor, that really protects the Cats from theft. But Tremor should be available with long bed
@@daveallen7767 I agree. I went from a 6.5' bed F-150 to a 22 Tremor 3.5EB and it was a huge change with one less foot of bed length. I guess that was a compromise.....in my case I'd rather have the supercrew (4doors) instead of the 6.5' bed. And having both on the Tremor would really put the breakover angle at a huge deficit.
I’m with Roman on this one with cost being a factor. I LOVE my 2021 Trailboss. But it’s great how much competition there is now. Good video as always guys!
Big fan of my F150 Tremor. Actually got to take it off road recently and with snow that has been fun also. It is very feature packed and my only complaints are is I wish I got the V8, and wish it had more color choices when I bought it.
Bang for the buck, it's probably a Ford F-150 supercrew 5.0 XL or XLT 4x4, lift and supercharge as needed. You can easily add a Torsen/Eaton TruTrac to the front differential. Slap 35's on it and call it done. Instead of off-roading a $100k truck, you are off-roading a $60-70k truck.
I just bought a 24 Silverado ZR2 Duramax earlier this week. The LT trail boss was still 67k so going up to the Zr2 for 75 sticker was a no brainer. Btw I did not pay msrp. I paid under 70
How do you like it so far? Do you think its as good as a raptor or do you wish you got a raptor instead. Im just curious because everyone pissed on the zr2 calling it “not a real raptor competitor” so i wana get an owner’s personal experience.
@@Inferno45 mine has the duramax so it’s not anywhere near as fast as a raptor but I’m getting 24+ mpg and a raptor won’t be anywhere near that either. I’m very happy with it so far, the ride is better than people on RUclips say it is. There was only 1 f150 raptor available in my area and it was another 8-9k over the Zr2. Personally I don’t live in the desert and don’t want the extra wide body. I feel like I got a ton of features for the money
@@Inferno45 Also for me personally I would have bought a used TRX before I’d buy a new raptor but that’s mainly because I’m not crazy about fords engines and can’t afford a Raptor R for 125k
Just by reading the comments, we have a great disparity in what everyone thinks is the best. And I bet every one of them can back it up with good reasons. This is truly a good thing.
What about the Warlock package on a Ram Tradesmen crew cab ? Lots of capability at an affordable price. Less than 3k option. Just bought a 2024 with 5.7 and tow package.
my choice at this time is a stubby single cab 6.5" short box ute , like shorter wheel base than a crew cab with a 5.5 ' box , swb utes drive like the 1980s-91 grand wagoneer /bronco/K 5 BLAZER /ramcharger, have owned or driven all of them , the swb one has to drive them to know the magic
Ford needs to build a Tremor R, with a SC 5.0 and keep it for general off-roading, and the Torsen Front Diff, I'm not racing/running Baja. Also needs to have the 17" Wheels and 35's and optional 37's, and I'd love to see it as a SuperCab.
You got to learn how to modulate the g80, mashing the gas makes it lurch, you have to burp the throttle, engage it then take off. Plus you won’t explode it with this method.
Thank you for slowing down the pace and taking the time to flesh out conversations; I would much rather have a longer more natural sounding video then to rush through it to keep it short (besides, anyone can increase playback speed if that is what they want).
I think you did a very good job with this. I own a 3rd gen tundra and really wanted the Toyota durability. I’m very happy with my truck even if it’s not perfect in every aspect, none are. They don’t have a preset version that compares even to rebel or tremor. The trd pro has a tiny lift. I did a limited trd OR premium with the trd 3” lift and am very happy with it. And it was less cost because I don’t care about a bunch of pro badges. If money wasn’t an object I buy a raptor R. All day.
Up here in Saskatchewan we don't need ground clearance. We do need a better ride so we should have good springs and shocks. Two wheel drive is good enough. Driving on our gravel rural roads is what we do. A good grid road truck is what we need. A low tech pre-runner?
99% of Americans don’t actually Need all that high level 4x4, skid plates, super ground clearance, hill decent etc etc. but it sure is a fancy way to go broke 😂
My prediction is the 2024 Ford Ranger Raptor will be crowned the best new mid-size off-road truck for 2024! BTW they’re starting to show up now, our local Ford dealer has one listed for $59095! a bit more than the $56K originally projected.
@TFLOffRoad Andrev, respectfully @05:22 the Custom Trail Boss has cloth seats/carpeted flooring not vinyl. I wish your team would pick one of these up with the 2.7 liter Turbo Max for a full on trail challenge review.
Woops! You completely missed one of the most capable options! The secret is You can get the FX4 in a reg cab with 122in wheelbase, which you can't get in a Tremor or a Raptor R! Who needs trail turn assist?
Why don't you give these trucks an off-road score that you developed several years ago? Did you find it to not be a good indicator of relative off-road performance between off-road brands and models?
My truck rides way better with its lift. I did new front Bilstein coilovers and new rear springs and shocks. Rides so much softer/smoother and handles the road much tighter. No body roll at all. No nose diving at brisk stops. Cheap lift kits will ruin your truck. Pay for the right equipment and don't ruin your expensive truck with spacers or pucks.
32 inch tires on the TRD Pro? I figured that would be on the regular Tundra, idk why they don't off the 6.4 in Rebel it would be for sure best for money then.
I drive my TRX off-road like I stole it. I have aftermarket bumpers (better approach angles). I have broken axels and destroyed tires. I'm not a youtuber or own a off-road company, I just drive it the way it is supposed to be driven. Why would anyone spend that much on a truck not to drive it that way?

does ford have the rattler for the F-150 if they do is that like above the FX4 but below the tremor or am I wrong on that because they didn't mention the rattler F-150

This is the answer. A single cab short bed with a lift and tires will do better than anything on this list short of raptor prerunning activities.
