I would buy the tremor, but in yiur shoes I probably wouldn’t buy a f150.
I’d take a serious look at the f250 gas motor of your choice, and if i was not a diesel guy id go f250 4x4 in any trim package with the Godzilla. If you can find a f250’in any trim package w the tremor off road add , and a Godzilla id snatch it up. Not a big price diff from a f150. Yes is slightly more expensive but relative to the heavy duty frame, big ass axles, solid axle up front, strongest and biggest steering components of the big three and any in its class, just a much heavier duty truck. Do you always need it, na, but if you need it and you don’t have it, yiur screwed. These new half ton trucks are just so aimed at groceries and ride quality, to keep prices competitive something has to suffer, and that’s durability. Don’t say no, just go at least look at a 250 in any flavor with a Godzilla. Report back!
