Us Truck brings together the best of the two worlds: it has ample space, several standard objects, resources to face off -road and breath to speed up on the road
The Ford F-150 Tremor, the new top version of the largest brand in Brazil’s larger pickup, is already on sale. Picapona imported by the United States is full of superlative numbers. Its V8 5.0 engine, the same as Mustang, generates 405 horsepower. The automatic transmission has 10 gears and there are electrical outlets with a total capacity of 2,000 W. In addition, it can be transposed to 60 cm depth and the tank for 136 liters of petrol guarantees autonomy greater than 1,000 km. The suggested price of $ 580,000 is $ 45,000 more than the Porsche 718 Cayman table, for example. See under what the new rivals cost.
According to Ford Data, the “Veja-Oitão” produces 56.7 MKGF at 4,250 rpm. As a result of the set also for 4×4 traction and tires for each ground, the tremor of the F-150 needs 7 seconds to accelerate from immobility to 100 km/h. That is, it is only 2.1 knows more than the Porsche mentioned above, a sports sportsman with almost half the pickup. Therefore, it is a huge result considering that Ford is 5.88 meters long and weighs 2,550 kg.
Ford F-12 Tremor has an orange signature
However, the fact that the engine is not diesel may not satisfy the traditional consumer of the segment. In any case, among the differentials before the versions (Lariat and Lariat Black), the F-50 tremor is 5.7 cm higher. This is the result of suspensions prepared to face -Ded and also tires R18 275/70, shoes on dark alloy wheels. In other settings, the measurements are 275/60 R20.
In fact, the interior is a separate chapter. With 3.7 m distance between the axes (13 cm longer than the length of a Fiat Mobi) and 2.13 m wide (without mirrors), the new tremore Ford F-150 is approved to take five people. Therefore, there is a lot of space for the driver and all passengers. After all, to compare the width of a Toyota Hilux SW4 (without mirrors) is 1.80 m.
Large list of equipment
In addition, the front seats, with heating and ventilation, have electrical adjustments with 10 memories, in the case of the driver and 8 to the passenger. Those who travel have also exits air conditioning and heating for the seats. The object, useless in most Brazil, was very useful in the Patagonia Argentina region, where Car newspaper The new version of the pickup with Ford’s invitation was assessed.
To make life easier for the driver, you can adjust the height and depth of the steering wheel. In addition to regulating the distance from the pedals, which also have memory. 360 ° cameras, the charger for cell phones of cable, obstacle sensors and front and rear cameras, as well as all those electronic characteristics that you can imagine to come standard.
However, there are highlights such as the Head up display, which projects various car functions on the windshield, including the traction option chosen. In the same sense, there is a huge opening roof and seven driving modes. They are: normal, echo, sport, off -road, slippery, rock scan (for very low handle and able to overcome serious ramps) and the trailer/transport. This, by the way, is very useful for maneuvering coils and trailers, such as boats, for example.
Loading and trailer capacity
This type of solution is widely used in the United States, where Ford produces the F-150. In general, the pickup buyer usually takes volumes in the bucket and weight in trailers or other types of trailer. Therefore, in that market there is a truck of this dimensions requires 1,495 liters of load and tracifier 3,946 kg, but can only receive 671 kg in weight in the bucket.
However, in Brazil this shows negatively by most “pickups”. Here, buyers appreciate the possibility of transporting weight. Media like Toyota Hilux, leader of segment sales and even Ranger, the “sister” of the F-150, for example, goes from a ton. However, the F-1550 exclusively brings such as the bipartite lid, which makes it easier to climb and remove the load.
For asphalt and earth
In practice, the Ford F-150 tremor brings together the best of the two worlds. That is, it goes very well on the asphalt and can safely overcome paths and even water courses and steep ramps. On the streets with a good sidewalk, the snoring V8 appears as a whisper inside the cabin. It is a kind of tasty noise that clarifies the power of the V8.

The accelerations are progressive and vigorous. And despite the size and weight of the new Ford option, the feeling is to be in a sporty car. The steering, with electric assistance, new electronic adjustments and updated components, is accurate and has very direct answers.
The suspensions guarantee a large level of comfort without compromising the sense of safety during the curve attack. It is worth remembering that components such as Springs, exclusive shock absorbers of the tremore version and a more efficient stabilization bar are among the merits of the set.
Without fear of running
That is, the driver can strongly count if he needs to overcome, for example, and can make the most of comfort at the speed of the cruise. There are no fears. The only care to be taken is with the pressure on the accelerator pedal, so as not to exceed the speed limit.
On earth, the tremor Ford F-150 behaves like … on the asphalt. This contributes to the height of the free ground of 27.7 cm. In addition, the entrance corner is 28º and the exit, 24.1º. Likewise, the transposition of the ramp is 21º. In other words, despite the almost 5.9 m in length, it is unlikely that the center of the Picapone ramp in the ramps. Including buildings of buildings of buildings.
A very useful novelty on Earth is the assistant of the off -road curve. The system facilitates curves well closed in narrow places. When blocking the internal wheel of the rear axle (compared to the curve), the traction only on the external wheel causes the “escape” pickup in the desired direction.
Convenient competition
Reinforced protections at the bottom of the body, rear differential electronic block and four traction modes – 4×2, 4×4 h, 4×4 l and 4×4 a (automatic, on request) – guarantee adhesion regardless of the type of floor. This also collaborates the differential of the Torsen front axis. That is, the mechanical type, with limited postponement.
And do you know that group of electronic articles that help the driver and reduce the risk of accidents? Yes, they are all in Picapona. This is the case of the help of evasive maneuvers in the event of an anterior collision, a permanence assistant in the sliding range, pedestrian detector and cyclists with autonomous braking, etc. Etc.
The new Ford F-150 tremor has the same rivals as the other versions. Meaning what, RAM 1500 Laramietabulated at R $ 584,990 e Chevrolet Silveradofrom R $ 573.990. The first has a 21 HP Biturbo V6 engine compared to Ford. The GM V8, in turn, generates “only” 360 HP. Everyone comes from the United States.

Load capacity
Despite the 1,495 liters of volume in the bucket and the ability to tow 4 tons, the load capacity of 671 kg is almost 370 kg less than the 1,037 kg of “sister”.
