Ice wins today, boys. TK makes the manufacturers nervous, but we love it. Thanks for braving the cold, Steve and company. Real world tests like this are why we keep coming back. Cheers from sunny south Florida 🌞😎 🤣
@@galaxyphone7784 yeah, from 2019 I believe. It was Voodoo blue if I recall correctly, which was the 2019 color. It was pre-Truck King, when Steve was still with TFL. He was their "TFL Canada" host before he went out on his own with TK. Edit: here's the link. ruclips.net/video/9L1y0S0gcKo/видео.htmlsi=SaxqVOokRk_3Iovq
Not sure if those were drone shots at the end around 27:41 but they were sick. This channel continues to improve and put out great content even with the frozen tundra they are currently in!
Absolutely. I just replaced my ram 1500 with this exact trim but with the 7.3l and it is a beast. I pull my 14k lb dump trailer around and it doesn’t even feel it.
Right on with the recovery advice, I do my best to educate younger ones and wish more people would think about safety like you do. Thanks for taking the time to talk about it. kudos.
I've got the 2020 F250 Tremor, and I'll say there isn't much you can strip down to get a base Tremor, since you can only get it as a crew cab, 4x4 with the 7.3. During the pandemic they didn't offer it as an XLT, but with that back in the line up, you're not losing much, to get max payload, especially since it is sitting on the exact same chassis as the F350 Tremor.
I’ve used chains for decades. Even snapped a couple with 1 inch thick links. Not the safest method for sure; but back in the day you didn’t have a lot of options.
I live in western Nebraska and I remember we used chains a lot growing up. I know it used to mess up the roads some so they are kind of frowned on now I think in a lot of places.
There is actually another truck that brings together luxury and off road capability. It’s called a Power Wagon. It foregoes the front limited slip differential in favor of a locking front axle and has 33” of articulation. It more than likely could made it through that snow, but if not, it has a winch in front to extricate itself. If it has to make a tight turn in a situation like that, you just turn off the ESC and give it a little gas and the rear will spin right around on a dime. It also has a 12” infotainment screen with an Alpine sound system. Your Tremor is a nice truck though.
This HD sized and HEAVY truck did surprisingly WELL on the off-road trails. I'm on the West Coast of British Columbia 3000 km away from Ontaro where it is much WETTER and MUDDIER so I would be very interested how it does on our local trails. Most of our forest service roads are WIDER than Ontario's back country roads so this HD truck won't be too bad to go off-road with. The much better bed capacity allows me to carry a big camper on the back with more fuel and camp hear for longer camping/fishing/hunting runs into the deep rivers and lakes backcountry areas. The 1300 lbs of carrying capacity using a Chevy Colorado ZR2 or Ford Ranger just doesn't cut it for me and even the F150 or Ram 1500 trucks can't move all the gear I like carrying to the backcountry. I'm more into GLAMPING than sitting in a small tent so I want my 3000 lbs worth of truck bed camper in the back AND my winter-insulated hot-tent with portable wood stove, full camp kitchen, inflatable bed and couches, hot water shower, toilet tent, big propane tanks and BBQ plus my propane generator and 50 gallons of extra truck fuel onboard, especially since I am usually staying for a full week or two traversing to my favourite backcountry rivers and lake camp spots! V
The important part is that one sized doens't fit all. I live in the Great Basin. HD trucks do well, because it's wide open. Go into the Sierra Nevada's and a midsized is much better due to often narrow access roads with few turn around spots.
AFAIK you can NOT carry a slide in camper on the Tremors, at least not mine... I have a 24 350 KR Tremor with the diesel, says it is NOT slide in camper certified, I don't think the camper prep option mixes with the Tremor suspension or something
@@cigarsgunsanddiesel8032 I would just replace the suspension anyways with a LIQUID SPRINGS fully active suspension and replace ALL the leaf springs, all shocks, their mountings and their attachment points WITH higher-strength upgrades. Then I would add/weld extra T-Plate strengthening members along the ENTIRE frame rail that boosts tensile strength and allows for heavier weights in the bed. With my metallurgy and welding knowledge, I can DOUBLE the tensile, torsion, extension, flexion and even compressive strength of the entire frame so it CAN take the slide-in camper. I would be putting super-wide 37 inch M/T winter ice/snow-rated off-road tires on it and my camper would be a high-end off-grid-ready Northern Lite Arctic winter-rated version! I am NEVER saisfied with what comes form the factory! I ALWAYS upgrade, rebuild, winterize, amourize, strengthen and put extra coatings EVERYWHERE on any truck or car I get to make SURE it can take the worst winter weather, hottest deserts and most corrosive saltwater marine environments possible! Line-X Truck bed liner is YOUR FRIEND! Spray a 1/4" Inch thick (8mm) coating of the super-heat-and-UV-resistant version inside AND outside of every newly-sand-blasted and high-pressure steam-cleaned undebody section, every frame rail, all drive shafts and wheel components, body panel, wheel well, interior floor and wall, and on every topside and hood part, and every part of the bed AND on all your full width-and-height bushbars and heavy duty bumpers. It protects against ALL weather and sound-proofs your cabin! V
Great video TK! It's nice to see a truck with some actual useable payload that won't get maxed out shopping for groceries. How much payload does the luxury pakage actually use up from that theoretical max of 4500 to take it down to 3050? 100 lbs? 200? How much is from the crew cab? The tires? What is the trade-off of the engine choice base (6.2?) Vs 7.3 vs 6.8 diesel for payload? Cheers!
You had a strap on the truck that the chain was attach too, So it would absorb most of the shock. Plus like you said, You gave a a light tug 1st to test it. Great review & real world test Bro!
Glad you mentioned the chains for pulling. They are illegal on industrial construction sites due to the dangers involved. Use proper straps, stay out of the line of fire and the driver should duck down and be protected by the high seat back. The clevis can kill you if the strap breaks. Great review!
Love your videos and the great explanations. You guys are awesome. Can't afford a truck like this but i have access to new trucks at work which let's me try either the Ford HD or the Ram 2500 and boy can these trucks handle a lot. I would just hate the monthly bill on these.
3050 Lbs of carrying capacity is quite a lot of carrying capacity! If you are so inclined as a hobbyist builder, instead of paying $30,000+ for a truck bed camper, you take a few days to watch MANY videos on carbon fibre layout and construction and built YOUR OWN super-light-weight TRUCK BED CAMPER out of Carbon Fibre and add EVERYTHING you need for four-season super-insulated "Glamping"! One of my buddies did that and it cost him $6500 CDN in materials and a whole winter of weekends (about 8 to 10 hours of work per weekend!) to make his own custom full-size truck bed camper out of carbon fibre that has built-in toilet and hot water shower, king size bed in upper sleeping area, full kitchen with hot water sink and combo fridge/freezer setup, propane stove and heating system, propane generator with a 100 lbs winter-insulated propane tank, extra 50 Gallon fuel tank built-in for longer driving range, full 120V/20 amp AND 240V/30 Amp electrical service with multiple outlets inside and outside of the camper, drinkable water and grey water tanks, full CB/VHF/GMRS/GPRS/Shortwave transceiver radio, 65 inch 4K QLED TV with surround sound and XBox gaming setup plus it has a back-extending winter-insulated hot-tent extension with portable wood stove that comes out of an in-bed box in order to make a 20 foot by 16 foot living room if he needs or wants it. The camper has closed cell foam insulation everywhere for -60 Celcius-rated winter camping capabilities! AND it is less than 2200 lbs in total when calculating total camper weight plus water, diesel and propane fuel weight which still gives him 800 lbs+ of food, cargo and passengers to carry! He even got the camper painted by a friend with a matte clear-coat over a fancy set of evergreen forest graphics for stealthy camping. He's had it for three years now and it works great for trips up to a few weeks time in the deep back woods! He has all the comforts of home in a custom-built portable truck bed camper setup. If you have the patience and the garage space to build your own, save your money and build a truck bed camper yourself! V
Steve great review. I'm wondering if you should take those overland tire traction paddles that people have on the sides of their trucks to help dig you out of deep mud or situations with ice like you had in this review. Save the hike getting the tractor 😅
@@Edgar-gx6ynThat's not even remotely true. XL and XLT do not come with chrome. Platinum comes with shiny and satin chrome while the Limited comes with satin chrome. Yes, it is because it's a Lariat as to why it has chrome. No other trim has as much straight, shiny chrome as a Lariat does.
Um no I own a few and I got the sport appearance on an xlt and a black appearance on an xlt ? I guess I own unicorns?? Also have an xlt with chrome pkg . It come in all 3 configurations
Does it really have a front LSD? The guys on the Ford Truck forum looked up part numbers and concluded that the same front diff is in all the trucks. I dunno....
Add a few Carli suspension pieces and she will ride like a 1/2 ton on steroids..well.. after you add the 37's, dual exhaust and a 5 Star tunes. Wakes that truck up and adjusts tranny for better shift points while adding hp and additional torque in the right area.
I'm curious, with all of the offroad videos you make, "thank you for them by the way" why do you not have a yankum rope, or winch on the tractor or both?
Thanks for the video guys - great work and I loved the drone shots at the end! You guys really go offroad, unlike the pretenders on other channels (TFL) and it's good to see some practical off roading on these vehicles.
@@PrzemyslawSliwinskiRams air suspension is problematic to say the least. Especially in Canada, if you live in cold weather areas, the air suspension constantly malfunctions, as soon as the weather changes, that’s when the issues happen. And as far as buses and tractor trailers go, they have a properly functioning air system, that includes an air dryer and that is not nearly as complicated.
Go for a Liquid Springs suepension setup and 37 inch tires instead! The Liquid Springs give you much better ride AND you can adjust height to give you as much as 16 inches of ground clearance with appropriately upgraded control arms and drive shafts. I would also put on a Mishimoto-brand upgraded radiator plus upgraded higher-flow-rate oil and transmission fluid cooler for better towing! V
The worst part about doing what you did, is the potential for bending a hollow aluminum drive shaft. They are the weak spot in trucks with skid plates. I've seen it many times in Moab.
I understand some people's desire to make a truck they spent that much money on do everything but it's unrealistic. At least unrealistic to expect it to do everything well. A superduty is heavy and has a suspension built for towing. That is the opposite of what you want off road.
Solid axles will most always have more droop, and having the wheels connected will mean weight transfer from one wheel to the other! The cons are having the low hanging differential and shock mounts, can more easily get hung up
No, @josephina24 Solid Axles don't have any droop relative to the lowest point, because the lowest point IS the axle. The first thing to get hung up, in mud, snow, sand, or ruts, is the differential or axle. You can "turtle" a solid axle vehicle without ever getting deep enough to touch the frame. It's stuck as soon as the friction of the axles on the ground or against a rock, or on top of a log, or inside a mud bog, or against snow or sand exceeds the traction supplied by the tires.
Umm, the Dadge Ram 2500 Powerwagon Laramie has been around since 2006 so almost 20yrs before this model. So ya we've seen this before. Also, the Tremor only comes is one cab and bed configuration and the only less equipped trim is the XLT. So you saying the Lariet has 1,000 pounds worth of options????? That makes NO sense unless one is configured with the diesel and the other the gas engine.
Very few will ever have to worry about what their 100k truck can go through…. Unless it’s got a company name on the side… my truck cost a third of that and it’s not going to be used that way… Just because you can squeak by making the payment don’t mean you can afford it….
Overall, good vid. But one thing you must learn from getting stuck. It's called MOMENTUM. Once you lose it, you're probably STUCK, as you were here. You got to hit the ruts with some speed, not go into them in snail/granny/creeping mode. Too slow in and then gingerly trying to back up, no wonder you got stuck. Yu needed to put those horses to work and POWER your way through. "Balls to the wall" so to speak.
Man, Truck King really goes the distance for its viewers.
no 4k video, its like they are stuck in 2007
Thanks for the video. I was wondering about the Ford Tremer, and you illustrated it in the woods. Good call.
Ice wins today, boys. TK makes the manufacturers nervous, but we love it. Thanks for braving the cold, Steve and company. Real world tests like this are why we keep coming back. Cheers from sunny south Florida 🌞😎 🤣
I really do like this truck 😊 I like the fact that you have the capability to get to your favorite camping spots in the truck 😊
Also the 100k price tag, 7 year 1300 a month sure is worth it!
Thanks for this proper offroad test. It's worth your efforts
That 4Runner ice test video was truly epic.
That was nuts
Not going to lie, that video was one of the things that sealed the deal with me buying a 4Runner, haha.

Did you ever notice that most Ontario Hydro pickups have winches?
Cant wait for you and your dad to get back together after he is finished with his winter vacation.
Easily one of the truck reviews of all time!
Best?
Your Tremer was tested where other luxury vehicles wouldn't think of going. Two thumbs up!
I would rather have this for 100k than an f150 for the same price. You just get so much more capability for your money.
Absolutely. I just replaced my ram 1500 with this exact trim but with the 7.3l and it is a beast. I pull my 14k lb dump trailer around and it doesn’t even feel it.
This F250 Tremor or Raptor?

Excellent episode as always!!! 😁
Close up on the ice after being stuck.. game changer!!!!
Thank you so much! This is exactly what I needed to help me relax.
Great job boys! Looking forward to seeing the Colorado bison 35 inch tire beast out there.
I do love that truck. I tow a 42-foot fifth wheel, so I bought a diesel. If i didn't need the tow capacity, I would buy that or a ZR2 Bison...
Heck ya Truck King! Actually testing vehicles hard. I like TFL but they sure dont do testing like TK.

I find it humorous that a light duty, two wheel drive tractor was used to pull out a heavy-duty 4wd truck. 😂
I have the FX4 and I don’t think much anymore about the rough road even curbs at times. I think more about will it fit or will I make that turn 😂

Do the power wagon. Same test!!
The chrome isn't because it's a lariat, it's because it wasn't optioned with the sport appearance package.
You answered your dumb statement. Chrome is because of the Lariat
@@speterbilthuh all the other trims have chrome as well. That’s just how they come unless you get the option like the other guy said.
Exactly, lariat tremor = chrome
Lariat tremor with sport appearance pkg = monochromatic

Add 37” tires and a Carli E-Venture kit
That truck needs to go spend a week at wild Willie's in Georgia & receive some more ground clearance along with some bigger tires.
More speed!
I bottomed out my "23 F250 Lariat in sand here in El Paso
Nice you do the new ram rebel cummins off road course
I've never seen blue interior. Is that something for Canada only?
should have got the 4runner to pull it out😅😅 love my 2016 4runner trail.
Did somebody make sure to lock the front axle. Have to get out and manually do that
Great review bro!
Damn these trucks are getting crazy expensive
I really like that color... Don't like the price, but definitely like the color.
The Rebel 2500 on smaller tires didn't get stuck last year ;-) There was also ice, although it is not known whether it was as hard.
Did you pressure down your tires? What was your Tire Pressure in the snow/ice trails? Thank you.
Love this truck 😊
Where does the ground clearance numbers come from ? Is it to the pumpkin ?
What tire pressure were you running??
Tires aired down works lol!
But also put you deeper and turtled worse however .
I'm curious, with all of the offroad videos you make, "thank you for them by the way" why do you not have a yankum rope, or winch on the tractor or both?
I would recommend super swampers with bias plies........ best off road tire company! pick the boggers!

Absolutely the most important option on HD trucks ....just means buisness!!. It's 100$ option!!!
I know you’re driving the 7.3 gasser but can you get a Tremor with a Powerstroke?
Beautiful workhorse. Thanks for pushing it to the limit!🫡
He got stuck I'm shocked.
Here's where you messed up you didn't opt for the 3800 ford package that comes with the winch. I did LOL. I may use it twice ever

The worst part about doing what you did, is the potential for bending a hollow aluminum drive shaft. They are the weak spot in trucks with skid plates. I've seen it many times in Moab.
The best thing about the max lay down option is, you can take a nap while waiting for the tow truck.
But Chevy doesn't offer the lay down seats. So you 'll just have to sit there and wait for the tow truck all normal like.
Sad thing is only 2% of the buyers of this truck will actually do this. Primarily just a status symbol ✌🏽❤️
Didn’t the 4Runner make it ?
I wonder how the new RAM would do in that condition.
I understand some people's desire to make a truck they spent that much money on do everything but it's unrealistic. At least unrealistic to expect it to do everything well. A superduty is heavy and has a suspension built for towing. That is the opposite of what you want off road.
The power is no better than a f150 but it weighs more?
This is a good example of where solid front axles are not as good as IFS.
You took the words out of my mouth. Ifs is superior on and off road. The advancements in ifs also tows just as well as solid axle.

Solid axles will most always have more droop, and having the wheels connected will mean weight transfer from one wheel to the other! The cons are having the low hanging differential and shock mounts, can more easily get hung up
No, @josephina24 Solid Axles don't have any droop relative to the lowest point, because the lowest point IS the axle. The first thing to get hung up, in mud, snow, sand, or ruts, is the differential or axle.
You can "turtle" a solid axle vehicle without ever getting deep enough to touch the frame. It's stuck as soon as the friction of the axles on the ground or against a rock, or on top of a log, or inside a mud bog, or against snow or sand exceeds the traction supplied by the tires.
Jeeps and rock buggies use solid axles for a reason.
Umm, the Dadge Ram 2500 Powerwagon Laramie has been around since 2006 so almost 20yrs before this model. So ya we've seen this before.
Also, the Tremor only comes is one cab and bed configuration and the only less equipped trim is the XLT. So you saying the Lariet has 1,000 pounds worth of options????? That makes NO sense unless one is configured with the diesel and the other the gas engine.
How it does, with some load on it.
Very few will ever have to worry about what their 100k truck can go through…. Unless it’s got a company name on the side… my truck cost a third of that and it’s not going to be used that way…
Just because you can squeak by making the payment don’t mean you can afford it….
Power wagon is a HD which rides like an 1/2ton offroad, Especially if you disconnect the sway bar. HD's don't do well in mud and snow. Too heavy
GMs HDs do just fine off-road, not ideal but better than this.
Overall, good vid. But one thing you must learn from getting stuck. It's called MOMENTUM. Once you lose it, you're probably STUCK, as you were here. You got to hit the ruts with some speed, not go into them in snail/granny/creeping mode.
Too slow in and then gingerly trying to back up, no wonder you got stuck. Yu needed to put those horses to work and POWER your way through. "Balls to the wall" so to speak.
I never seen a review where they actually do that.I agree
Worse thing to do is chain on strap. Straight chain is actually safer.
i love it... i want one! that $ tho :(
ZR2 ate this course up on the last review
