Props to Ford for giving you an actual off-road course. Nice job TFL & Ford!

Kudos to Ford for setting up that course. That's a REAL off road course.

[IAmTheGuy]

I love when company’s actually make their offroad courses truly test the limits of the truck! Good on Ford 👍🏻

[danielwilliams]

The f250 6.7 HO tremor has to be the BEST-looking truck on the road. That thing is a BEAST!!!!

[wompa]

The XL Off Road is a good package to offer. Work trucks don’t need ALL the stuff Tremor adds.

[TheSecretCreeker]

Another props to Ford. That was an actual off road course harder than most will actually put a new truck through. Very fun to watch, and actually shows the trucks capabilities.

I was really impressed seeing that behemoth of a truck go up that uphill rock part. Those rocks looked like no joke, on a pretty serious incline and it took it with a from the factory setup.

[CarswithNash]

I’m impressed with how challenging Ford made their course.

[fritty]

Could be the toughest manufacturer off road course I’ve seen in awhile.

I went with a new F250 xl fx4 crew cab long bed with 7.3 Godzilla, 4.30 gears and 48 gallon gas tank. I sold my stock wheels and tires, got some black 20” wheels and 35x12.50 cooper rugged trek tires and added a 2” lift. All in im at $54, 000 and my truck is awesome. I have lots of ground clearance and it just rips through mud and snow. I love the rear locker. But my truck is still a terrible off-roader because its a rough riding heavy duty truck and it’s HUGE. I saved almost 40 grand by not getting a high end F250 with all the options, and with the money I saved I got a Polaris Ranger XP 1000 North Star with heat, ac, and a plow. That thing is awesome off-road and on trails

I ordered an XL Offroad SuperCab two months ago...due to arrive this weekend!👍👍 Now I'm really excited after watching this video. Thanks for the comp, Andre!

[Titansfrontrow]

Andre is the nicest guy- sending it up a rock pathway and "sorry!" lol. You can hear it in his voice he sort of felt bad.

[gen-zeke-]

I'd go for the XL 6.8 (405 hp 445 tq) just for simplicity purposes. I'm pretty modest and think 405/445 is pretty good for an XL.

My work truck is a 2016 F-350, 6.7L, and very very similar overall to that package. We added the winch so it sticks out a bit more but it's made it up a lot of sketchy roads to tower sites on top of mountains.

For all the people on here saying that you dont need 35-37" tires. Just remember that in a full-size truck that your breakover angle is highly dependent on the length of your wheelbase. Most people run 37" tires on Gladiators around CO for offroading as the wheelbase is longer than my Ford Excursion. I only run 35" tires on my 2 door TJ as the breakover is fine as the wheelbase is miniscule. If I buy a Raptor, I would get 37" tires as the breakover is worse with 37" tires than a TJ on 33" tires. That is why an old Land Cruiser does fine on 33" tires. Much shorter wheelbase...

I bought the 2023 F-350 Lariat Ultimate with the Tremor package, with the 7.3, absolutely thrilled with this truck. Love TFL & Ford trucks, my bride drives a 2019 Ranger 4x4 & loves it.

[chriscon]

That’d be a cool package on the Ranger XL, too! Maybe a rear locker, factory leveling kit, 4.10s, skid plates, & bigger aggressive tires.

[muddybadgers]

The engine made a bigger difference than the tires when you went through the rutted up spot. The 33's and 35's both had enough grip. The XL just had an extra 750 pounds worth of engine in the front. A lot of people don't realize the difference weight makes

[strix]

Honestly for the price the XL offroad is a pretty good deal. The tires alone are worth that, plus the skid plates, vent tubes, and locker make for a great package.

There was a time when most 4x4 trucks were manual everything and maybe a limited slip rear axle. Day 2 mods were shocks, suspension lift and tires. It was about driving skill, picking the correct lines and understanding the capabilities of your truck. I feel that experience and skill set is going away quickly. Nice to see the new stuff and how far technology has come but give me a 1973 K-20 with a 4-speed manual, a big block with lock out's and I'm good. It's nice to be old.
