2014 Ford Tremor

Eh, not really feeling it. Trim package is ugly on top of an already ugly truck, 2wd sits about a mile too damned high, too much fancy crap on the inside, and the bed is a couple feet too short. I could probably order a reg. cab/longbed Hemi Ram Tradesman package or comparable Silverado and have a more usable vehicle that will still run like a sonofabitch for a hell of a lot less money.

yeah, seems pointless. 2wd? go buy a focus
 
I kinda like it.i personally think they should have taken some ideas from the lightning,They should have Gone with more of a sport truck vibe like the lightning,lower it,special exhaust and that cab is wwwaaayyy too short.a buddy of mine went in to price one and the dealer said $42,000!!!!! Its a neat truck but theres some things that could be tweeked
 
$42k:shock:

For $29k I could get a fairly nice 2wd Hemi Ram Tradesman longbed with the 8 speed and 3.92 limited slip rear gear. Bump it up another $4k, and I can get the turbo diesel V-6 in it instead. Then it wouldn't too nice not to use as an actual truck too!

$42k?! WTF!...pickup trucks are supposed to be used for hauling sh#% around,throwing stuff in them etc...

For $42k I'd buy me a little Toyota for $10k and bank the other $32k for whatever else the world throws at me! That's rediculious to be that high in price! That's luxury vehicle price. Just saying.

Exactly, you could find a decent truck and a nice car for the price of just that truck! If Chrysler was running any incentives on the Rams, that $42k would pay for what I would want in a truck and finish off the loan on my 200.
 
Customer: How much is that F150?
Salesman: $42k
Customer: What? *starts shaking uncontrollably*
Sales Manager: Dammit! Why does this thing give everyone the tremors? Someone get Corporate on the phone...

Under 40,000 is becoming a deal for a new truck.
They are all outrageously over priced.

The Motortrend truck of the year test for an example had a Ram Dually price as
tested over 70,000.00 !!:shock:

Yeah, seems like the test vehicles they give the reviewers are optioned to the hilt. A few months back I watched a video of the turbodiesel 1500 Ram and the quad cab test vehicle they were driving was $55k, I think done how I would buy it was under $35k.

Yup, $42k for a regular cab, short bed, V-6 full sized pickup, think that's how I would react too.
 
They've been selling like crazy at our dealership. Very nice trucks, price is a little high, but that doesn't appear to be stopping people from buying them.

Yup, have no idea why somebody would pay that much for one, or buy one so pointlessly fancy.
 
I like it, then again I am a die hard Ford guy. Grandad's flex was the Ecoboost AWD, and that thing would MOVE. Pretty sure it was heavier than this truck will be too. Loaded up with 5 people and a week of luggage, it would do standstill to 60 in 6.5 seconds and hit 120 with ease.
 
The OPs post is nothing new. You couldve ordered a 2wd regular cab short bed eco boost F150 2yrs ago and gotten the same thing minus the 'tremors'.

As for the costs of new trucks, I guess some of you guys are being gouged. Around here you can get a brand new loaded 1-ton diesel 4x4 for beteen 48-60k. Half tons are high 20's to high 30's.
 
The one I saw on Powerblock tv this morning had a little different features than the one pictured. Exhaust dumped out in front of the rear tires, like the Lighting.

As far as others comments on prices of trucks in general. I paid a moderate amount for my 2013 Silverado LTZ 1500. Well worth the money in my opinion. Heated and cooled seats. Nuff said. :flipoff:
