PHOENIX – Ford should have an extra-large hit on its hands in the 2020 F-Series Super Duty Tremor, a massive pickup kitted out for off-road adventures, but graced with easy steering and a comfortable ride for easy everyday use.The Tremor also gets a number of upgrades Ford added across the line of F-series Super Duty pickups.Built in Louisville, Kentucky, the Super Duties are the true workhorses of the F-series line. They offer bigger engines, a drastically re-engineered frame and towing capacities that beggar the imagination: up to 37,000 pounds for the F-450, 32,500 with an F-350 and 24,200 for the F-250. An F-350 can also carry up to 7,850 pounds of payload in its cab and bed. © Mark Phelan/Detroit Free PressFord F-250 Tremor in rock-crawling mode.
Research For work and playWith capability like that, it’s no surprise the pickups like the Super Duty — and Chevrolet, GMC and Ram HDs — are vehicles of choice for people who tow heavy and expensive loads like horses, house trailers, farm and construction supplies. Super Duty pickup MSRPs start at $33,705 and top out at $90,530. A little quality time with the option list can probably push the pickup into six figures.The pickups are on sale now.The Super Duty’s towing and payload capacities lead the segment, making Ford the current leader in one of the Truck War’s fierce arms races.Increasingly, though, business people use vehicles like the F-250 and F-350 for play as well as work.That’s where the Tremor comes in.
