F250 Tremor: What It Adds and Who Needs It on a Super Duty
The F250 Tremor is not a trim of its own: Tremor is an off-road package Ford lists for the 2027 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty. It adds 35-inch (889 mm) all-terrain tires, 18-inch Ebony Black machined and painted aluminum wheels and off-road tuned front and rear suspension, with either the 7.3L V8 gas engine or the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke® V8 turbo diesel.
If your week runs between a Carleton Place job site and a camp road past Almonte, the question is whether that hardware fits your work or a Super Duty 4x4 without the package will do. Browse our new F-250 Super Duty inventory at Carleton Place Ford.
Key Takeaways
The F-250 Tremor is a package, not a trim. Ford lists the Tremor Off-Road Package on the 2027 F-250 and F-350 XLT and Lariat, and on the XL with the STX Appearance Package and the other packages Ford pairs with it.
Tires, wheels and suspension. The 2027 F-250 Tremor puts the truck on 35-inch all-terrain tires and 18-inch black aluminum wheels, with off-road tuned front and rear suspension.
Gas or diesel. Ford lists the 7.3L V8 gas engine as standard on the 2027 F-250 and the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke® V8 turbo diesel as an option, and the package is offered with either, so confirm the engine on the exact truck.
Two box lengths. The 2027 F-250 Tremor is offered with a 2.1 or 2.4 metre (6.75- or 8-foot) box.
Let your roads decide. For plowed concessions and Highway 7, a Super Duty 4x4 without the package may be all you need; for a bush lot, a camp road or a gravel pit, look at the F-250 Tremor.
What Does the F250 Tremor Add?
A Ford F250 Tremor adds the hardware Ford lists in the Tremor Off-Road Package: 35-inch (889 mm) all-terrain tires, 18-inch (457 mm) Ebony Black machined and painted aluminum wheels, and off-road tuned front and rear suspension. Ford lists the 2027 F-250 Tremor with a 2.1 or 2.4 metre (6.75- or 8-foot) box, so the long box stays on the table.
Picture the lane into a hunting camp, or the track across the back forty to a sugar bush in Lanark County. Those tires and that suspension are the parts of the F-250 Tremor that meet that kind of ground.
What the package does not do is change which Super Duty you need. Pick the F-250 or F-350 for the work and the trailer first, then decide whether the Tremor hardware belongs on it.
Which Super Duty Trucks and Trims Offer the Tremor Package?
Ford lists the Tremor Off-Road Package on the 2027 F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, on the XLT and Lariat trims. It is also offered on the XL when the XL is paired with the STX Appearance Package, and our team can confirm the rest of an XL build.
If an F350 Tremor is the truck you have in mind, it is the same package on the F-350, with the same tires, wheels and suspension.
For a trim not named here, ask our team to confirm the build before you settle on it.
If you are weighing a trim for its cabin rather than its tires, our look at the F-250 King Ranch covers what that trim brings.
Gas or Diesel: Engines for the F-250 Tremor
On the 2027 F-250 and F-350, Ford lists the 7.3L V8 gas engine as standard and the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke® V8 turbo diesel as an option, and the Tremor package is offered with either. So an F-250 Tremor can be a gas truck or a diesel truck, depending on the build.
2027 engine | F-250 and F-350 XLT and Lariat | With the Tremor package |
|---|---|---|
7.3L V8 gas engine | Standard | Available |
6.7L High-Output Power Stroke® V8 turbo diesel | Available | Available |
Choose the engine for the work you do and the trailer you pull, then confirm it on the exact truck, because the window sticker names the one it carries.
If a heavy trailer is part of your week, check the payload label on the exact truck's door jamb and Ford's tow guide before you settle on an engine. Ratings change with the configuration.
Who Needs an F-250 Tremor Around Lanark County?
An F-250 Tremor suits the Lanark County truck owner whose working week leaves the pavement: a bush lot, a hunting-camp road or a gravel pit. On the 2027 truck, its 35-inch all-terrain tires and off-road tuned suspension are the parts Ford built for that kind of ground.
The contractor with a gravel-pit run: if the day starts on a pit floor or a site road outside Carleton Place and ends on Highway 7, the F-250 Tremor's tires and tuning are aimed at the rough half of that day.
The acreage or hobby-farm owner: if the truck crosses a back field to the woodlot or carries fence posts down a lane near Perth, weigh the F-250 Tremor's hardware and the 2.4 metre box together.
The hunter or camp owner: if a camp road is the last stretch of your weekend, the F-250 Tremor's hardware is meant for that stretch, so choose the engine and box for everything before it.
Moving up from a half-ton: if the F-150 Tremor has been your truck and the work now calls for a Super Duty, the name carries over as an option package on the F-250 and F-350. If your current truck is part of the plan, value your trade online first.

When Is a Super Duty 4x4 Enough Instead of the F-250 Tremor?
A Super Duty 4x4 without the package may be all you need if your driving is mostly plowed concessions, town streets and Highway 7. The 2027 F-250 Tremor's 35-inch all-terrain tires and off-road tuned suspension earn their place when the week leaves maintained roads for a bush trail, a sugar-bush lane or a camp road.
Ford lists two other off-road choices on the 2027 Super Duty, the FX4® Off-Road Package and the XL Off-Road packages. Ask our team what each one includes on the truck you are considering.
The honest test is your own calendar. Count the days in a year your truck leaves the pavement, and let that, not the look, make the call.
A snowy concession road with the plow a day behind is part of life in Lanark County. Ford names the F-250 Tremor's package for off-road ground, so give the bush lot and the camp road more weight than the snowbank.
What to Check Before You Choose an F-250 Tremor
On any F-250 Tremor you are considering, look for the Tremor Off-Road Package on the window sticker, then confirm the trim, the engine and the box on that same truck. This article covers the 2027 F-250 and F-350 as Ford lists them; on another model year, confirm the package by the VIN before you count on any of it.
Bring your trailer's details and a sense of the roads you drive, from the Highway 7 commute to the last kilometre into camp.
Ask our team at Carleton Place Ford to confirm the package, trim, engine and box on the window sticker before you sign.
If the Super Duty you are looking at is not a Tremor, the same check shows which off-road package, if any, it carries.
With the checklist in hand, browse our new F-250 Super Duty inventory and ask our team about the build you want.
Trading, Financing and Ordering an F-250 Tremor
Moving into an F-250 Tremor can start with the pickup or SUV you drive now: value your trade online, and bring it to Carleton Place Ford for our appraisal. We take trades of any make, whether it is paid off or not.
We put our appraisal of your trade in writing.
We buy vehicles outright, so an appraisal does not commit you to buying from us.
With your permission, we get the payout from your lender and show it beside our appraisal.
If you owe more than the vehicle is worth, the shortfall may be added to the amount financed, increasing the amount borrowed and potentially the total cost of borrowing. Financing is subject to lender approval (O.A.C.).
Apply for financing before you come in if you wish. With your consent, we can review options with participating lenders.
Approval, rate, term and payment depend on the applicant, lender and vehicle, and a credit-bureau inquiry may be required.
Bring a driver's licence and proof of income if requested; lender requirements vary.
If Ford's order bank, dealer allocation and your preferred configuration are available, we can review the build and help you submit an order. Availability, order acceptance, timing and pricing are subject to Ford and dealer confirmation.
Ask our team to check the VIN and confirm any open campaigns before you buy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which F250 Trims Offer the Tremor Package?
Tremor is an option package on the 2027 F-250, not a trim of its own. Ford lists it on the XLT and Lariat, and on the XL paired with the STX Appearance Package; for any other trim or the rest of an XL build, ask our team to confirm it.
Is There an F350 Tremor?
Yes. The Tremor Off-Road Package is offered on the 2027 F-350 too, with the same 35-inch (889 mm) all-terrain tires, 18-inch black aluminum wheels and off-road tuned suspension as the F-250; Ford does not list it on the F-450.
Is the F250 Tremor Gas or Diesel?
Either. On the 2027 F-250, the 7.3L V8 gas engine is standard and the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke® V8 turbo diesel is optional, and the Tremor package is offered with both, so confirm the engine on the exact truck.
What Size Tires Does the F250 Tremor Have?
The 2027 F-250 Tremor comes on 35-inch (889 mm) all-terrain tires, mounted on 18-inch (457 mm) Ebony Black machined and painted aluminum wheels. Those tires and the off-road tuned suspension are the heart of the package.
Do I Need the F250 Tremor, or Is a Super Duty 4x4 Enough?
Not if your roads are mostly plowed concessions and Highway 7: a Super Duty 4x4 without the package may be all you need there. If your week includes a bush lot, a camp road or a gravel pit, the F-250 Tremor's tires and off-road tuned suspension are aimed at exactly that.
Can I Trade in My Pickup for an F250 Tremor?
Yes, your current pickup can go toward an F-250 Tremor. We take trades of any make, whether it is paid off or not.
Bring the truck to Carleton Place Ford. We put our appraisal of your trade in writing.
