New Tremor Off-Road Package 

The 2021 Ford Ranger Tremor is the most off-road capable Ranger ever offered in the United States. Compared to the standard Ranger SuperCrew 4×4, the Ranger Tremor has a wider stance as well as improved ground clearance, off-road geometry, and suspension travel. The new-for-2021 Tremor Off-Road Package adds a lifted suspension with off-road tuned FOX™ 2.0 monotube dampers and rear piggyback reservoirs, specially tuned front coilover and rear multi leaf springs, 32-inch all-terrain tires, a six-switch auxiliary power pack, and even more. These improvements allow the Ranger Tremor to tackle more challenging terrain without losing on-road comfort or on-the-job capability with a best-in-class towing capacity of 7,500 lbs.
