Picked up my Tremor today and put about 30 miles on it, and a few hours parked playing with all the gadgets.
First off, the good: Better than expected. Ride quality is amazing for such a behemoth, and very similar to the F-150 tremor I test drove. Cameras everywhere, including blind spot cameras that show up on the instrument cluster when turn signal is activated. 4G hot spot, iPad/iPhone holders in the head rest (late availability), and USB C power outlet in the back of the front seats for the kids. Power outlets and cup holders everywhere. Comfortable second row captain chairs, and surprisingly comfortable third row. Exterior zone lighting. Spit gate out back. It's comfortable, radio sound quality is a solid 8 out 10, quick, and looks great. It's an SUV that can do pick up things, but has the convenience of being an SUV. Would definitely recommend.
Now the bad: The shape of the steering wheel is going to take some getting used to. I don't necessarily dislike it, but for someone like me who does a lot of 1 handed driving, it stands out. The instrument cluster could use more customization options. The layout is good, but I would like to see more up on the screen, or be able to configure it differently. Fog lights and off road lights default to off. I like using my fog lights and don't enjoy the idea of having to manually turn them on every time I drive at night. Same with the off road lights. And it would be nice if those turned on independent of the high beams.
And finally, the ugly: The tachometer situation. I have no words for that one. There is essentially no tachometer. Unless you put it in tow or sport mode, and even then you get what looks like a fuel meter with a bar that goes to the right as your RPMs go up. I realize a tachometer is not very useful in most newer vehicles, but I'd still like to see it.
Final thoughts: Ford wins again. It's a beast, and I expect it will function as such.
