Ford Ranger Tremor rattles in

FORD has announced details of its limited-edition Ranger Tremor, an off-road oriented take on the popular dual-cab utility now available to order from $69,690 plus on-road costs.

As reported by GoAuto last week, the Ford Ranger Tremor comes equipped with the same suspension upgrades as the Wildtrak X, including specially developed Bilstein position-sensitive dampers with external reservoirs, 26mm higher ground clearance and 30mm wider

Track.

The Tremor further features full-time four-wheel drive and a specially designed interior Ford says can be easily cleaned after off-road adventures.

Based upon the Ranger Sport – and with just 1150 units available – the Ranger Tremor further features 17-inch Asphalt Black alloy wheels shod with General Grabber AT3 all-terrain tyres, bolstered wheel arch mouldings, revised springs, heavy-duty steering rack, and a front steel bash plate.

The limited-edition variant is further characterised by Tremor badging and embossed seats, black Ford oval badges, cast aluminium side steps, a long-legged sports bar, honeycomb grille with auxiliary LED lights and Raptor-style overhead switch bank for fitment of aftermarket accessories.

Further, the Ranger Tremor offers Ford’s Trail Turn Assist function to improve the vehicle’s turning radius off-road, Raptor-sourced Trail Control off-road cruise control, and Rock Crawl Mode for improved throttle control on loose and rocky surfaces.

As per the Ranger Sport, the Tremor is powered by Ford’s 2.0-litre twin-turbocharged four-cylinder diesel developing 150kW and 500Nm. It is paired exclusively with a 10-speed automatic transmission.

The Ford Ranger Tremor is available optionally with Ford’s Touring Pack ($1650), flexible rack system ($2800), manual roller shutter ($3000), idle-stop delete (NCO), and prestige paint ($700).

A new colour, Conquer Grey, is exclusive to the Tremor and joins Aluminium, Arctic White, Blue Lightning, Meteor Grey, and Shadow Black.

“Ranger Tremor builds on the success of the popular Wildtrak X, offering the same enhanced capabilities, making it ideal for tough Australian conditions,” said Ford Australia marketing director Ambrose Henderson.

“The Tremor takes the highlights of Wildtrak X and combines them with the Sport series, resulting in a more budget-friendly off-road warrior that’s ready-to-go for the adventures that hard-working Aussies love.”
