With the AEV / Ram partnership, I'm assuming no warranties are voided? Did you order through your dealer to coordinate with AEV or AEV directly?

The comment about running boards was in relation to why couldn't the Tremor be offered in more Ford configurations? If it was in a super cab configuration in addition to the supercrew, I would be a lot more appealing for someone wanting to stay with a stock build. To your point, there are lots...

Yeah, the only reason I care about octane is I want the ability to use lower octane if that's all I can get depending on where we're traveling. Of course higher mpgs are better especially as that's the best way to increase range, followed by larger tanks.

I would think the only tremor specific item that might not fit on the other configurations are the running boards. I would think it will become an option if they recognize the demand.

Great points...my plan is to remove the rear seats, and build storage for camera gear and quick access stuff and then a platform area for our dog. It's pretty easy for me to check out crew cab trucks but I haven't seen super cabs on the lot. Frankly, there are very few HDs on the lots period.

Do you think there would be any significant differences in offroad situations between the 6.2 and 7.3 with the same 10 speed transmission? It looks like the 7.3 optimizes low end torque while the 6.2's torque is more in the mid range.

Interesting....I would think that's a really useful option for the 6.2.

Thanks for your comments. I do have another post that's similar but as I was getting useful though sometimes off topic comments and thought I start another thread for those insights.

I thought the 6.2 is only available with the 6 speed transmission is the 10 speed and option.

My wife and I are debating full size platforms for a flat bed (short bed) camper with international travel in mind. We've narrowed down selections to Ram 3500 and F350 gas engines due to payload and fuel availability everywhere. There will be some highway travel involved and lots of off road...

Here's what I found for the 2020 and would think it would apply to 2021 unless a change was made, "Do not use E-85 flex fuel or ethanol blends greater than 15% in this engine. This engine is designed to meet all emissions regulations and provide satisfactory fuel economy and performance when...

Thanks for sharing that. The Ram site says "premium unleaded"...they should update that if it's not really required:) I'll have to look into that a little more. https://www.ramtrucks.com/2021/ram-3500/specs.html

Bed size doesn't mean too much in my case as I'll replace it with flatbed: The Ram is interesting, but I understand the Hemi requires 91 octane gas. I'm wanting to take this internationally eventually and am thinking that 87 octane might be better choice in that regard.

I'll be toting a flatbed popup camper. Reliability and serviceability are important which is why I started down the Tremor path for warranty and good stock capability. The better question becomes how often will a Tremor be denied passage down a track that a moderately built super cab would...

Well, the Tremor only comes in a Crew Cab so that's why I'm considering the crew. While I would use the space of the crew cab (dog and gear), the super cab would be fine. It's really how much better a built super cab will be for overlanding / Off road touring than a mostly stock Tremor?

Recap: While operational costs are always an important consideration, I'm more focused on long range and hopefully international capability. While if North America and Baja were the only intended destinations, the 6.7 would be a clear contender as larger tanks can be added for much better...

Trixx, I don't mean to be that guy.... but ..... did you have get a different lift on your Tremor to run 37s or do they just fit with stock Tremor lift? I personally love the power you get from the diesels and their range especially because aux tanks and after market high capacity replacement...

Agreed. I've lived near Park City for about 20 years with much of that time doing daily commuting to SLC, about 2000-2500 ft lower in which you can experience every weather situation in 25 minutes. There are times when momentum is important and other times when when slow, steady with no torque...

While off topic, the point about wheel base with a full size truck... where does it end? None are ideal. A regular cab short bed will be better than both a reg cab LB, a super cab short bed and all of the combinations. So at some point you have to accept that whatever wheel base you decide...

That's great to know. Of course it will take millions of miles among thousands of vehicles to know for sure but it's a great start nonetheless.
