00:02 Hi, hi there, as I should say.

00:10 I'm in a Tremor.

00:11 What's a Tremor?

00:12 It's a heavy duty off-road version of a Ford Super Duty.

00:17 So this has been upgraded in a bazillion ways.

00:20 We'll get to them all.

00:20 The first thing we're gonna do is do some rock crawling.

00:23 This is new for the Tremor package.

00:27 There's a six off-road mode, which is rock crawl

00:30 because they could never rock crawl before.

00:32 So it's a little, honestly, easier to modulate

00:36 in the gas one than the diesel,

00:39 but we made it through officially now.

00:41 And that's all that matters when you are off-roading.

00:45 In a truck this large, it's killer to have

00:48 not only a front camera, but an around view camera

00:50 so I can see everything until I can actually see

00:53 with my own eyes.

00:57 So we're gonna now see what 1,050 pound feet

01:00 of torque does for you.

01:02 And with ease is an understatement.

01:09 It just snapped right up that quote unquote wall.

01:13 It's the same suspension, gas to diesel,

01:18 but again, there's about 800 more pounds up front.

01:21 So the movements are more severe in the diesel

01:24 than they would be in the gas.

01:25 Interesting.

01:27 I guess if you don't have to tow giant loads

01:30 and you wanna go off-roading with Super Duty,

01:32 I think you wanna get the gases.

01:34 Which again is a 7.3 liter V8.

01:36 What's wrong with that?

01:37 Nothing.

01:37 So this car has about 11 inches,

01:41 10.8 inches of ground clearance.

01:43 We're gonna use every millimeter of that

01:46 in this particular exercise.

01:48 If I were to bottom out, it wouldn't be

01:50 the biggest deal in the world

01:51 because the underside of this truck is armor plated.

01:55 (water splashing)

01:57 This is pretty cool.

01:58 It's like a little mini canyon water obstacle.

02:00 Hard bottom so we don't really have to worry too much.

02:03 (upbeat music)

02:10 Booyah.

02:13 All right, that was a little fun.

02:17 And now we're gonna get hosed off.

02:22 (wind blowing)

02:25 I'm pretty impressed.

02:26 This is a stout truck.

02:28 (upbeat music)

02:30 (upbeat music)
