I giggle when I hear the Tremor name because that used to be a package on the little Ranger pickups that gave you a wicked audio system. Now they're using the name on the biggest truck they make as an off-road package. Lol. Ford is horrible at proper usage of trademarks and nameplates. Sort of like how they're now killing the Mustang and Mach 1 names by diluting them on an ugly electric golf cart. But I digress....Newb here. First post. Pertinent topic for me.
I have a 2008 JKU built pretty nice. EVO suspension. 37” tires, and so on. Has about 120k miles on it. Many of them are hard miles off the beaten path. I’m not as confident taking it over the remote passes in CO any more. Things are breaking. So I’m looking at options.
I also have a 2013 F150. 115k miles on it. I want to transition it to my ranch truck. So I’m looking at new trucks.
I can absolutely see myself being very happy in a built up Gladiator. It would take me into the mountains just like my JKU can, And it serves the purpose of a truck to a good degree.
But I’m also looking at an F250 bc my needs for a stronger truck will grow down the road.
I’m really torn at this part. And like the others who have commented, “It’s a Jeep thing” is VERY REAL!. I have loved my Jeep. My heart is leaning towards the GLADIATOR.
But my brain says “F250” again and again!!
Ford is coming out with the Tremor which is supposed to have improved off road capability.
But it will never be a Jeep.

The 2020 F-250 with that new big block gas engine will be a sweet truck, but I can't imagine taking a 7,000 lb. monster into the trail systems. There are a lot of places where a truck that big just will not fit.
