For 2027, Ford opened up the Super Duty® Tremor Off-Road Package in a big way — it’s now available on every trim, including the work-truck XL. If you need a heavy-duty truck that can tow and haul like a Super Duty but also handle deer leases, remote ag property, and rough rural terrain without flinching, the Tremor is the build. Here’s exactly what it includes, which configurations qualify, how it compares to FX4, and how to get one in the queue at Jay Malone Ford in Hutchinson.

Frequently asked questions
What Is the Super Duty Tremor Off-Road Package?
The Tremor Off-Road Package is Ford’s factory-engineered off-road build for the Super Duty. It’s the closest the heavy-duty lineup gets to serious off-pavement capability without giving up the work and towing strengths that make a Super Duty a Super Duty.
Unlike a cosmetic appearance package, Tremor changes how the truck actually performs off-road. It raises ride height, swaps in larger off-road tires, adds locking and limited-slip differentials, upgrades the shocks, and unlocks dedicated off-road drive modes. The result is a heavy-duty truck that can still tow a gooseneck during the week and confidently run a rutted, muddy two-track to a remote property on the weekend.
What’s Included in the Tremor Package?
The 2027 Super Duty Tremor Package adds a substantial list of genuine off-road hardware:
- 35-inch off-road tires (LT285/75R18) on 18-inch Ebony Black machined and painted aluminum wheels
- Electronic-locking rear differential for maximum traction in low-grip conditions
- Front limited-slip differential
- Performance front and rear shock absorbers tuned for off-road use
- Unique front springs that increase ride height for better clearance and approach angle
- Skid plates protecting the transfer case and fuel tank
- Water fording vent tubes for the transfer case and axle
- Off-road running boards with a textured matte finish
- Unique front air dams for improved approach angle
- Rock Crawl Mode, Trail Control, and Trail Turn Assist drive modes
- Tremor Off-Road decal and a full-size conventional spare on a matching road wheel
Power-deployable running boards are available as an option on Tremor builds, depending on interior trim selection. Tremor content replaces the corresponding base-vehicle content rather than stacking on top of it — so the truck is built around the package, not bolted onto it.
Which Trims and Configurations Can Get Tremor for 2027?
For 2027, the Tremor Off-Road Package is available on all five trims: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch®, and Platinum. That’s a meaningful expansion — in recent years it started higher up the lineup.
There are real configuration requirements to know before you build, though. The Tremor Package requires:
- 4x4
- Crew Cab
- The TorqShift® 10-speed automatic transmission (the standard TorqShift-G is not compatible)
- A 40/Console/40 front seat when the 8-foot box is selected
- The 360-Degree Camera Package when the 8-foot box is selected
And a few important restrictions. Tremor is:
- Single Rear Wheel (SRW) only — not available on Dual Rear Wheel (dually) trucks
- Not available on the F-450
- Not available with the rear stabilizer bar or the spare wheel and tire delete
One trim-specific note: on the XL, ordering Tremor also requires the STX Appearance Package, the XL Driver Assist Package, and the 160-inch wheelbase. So while the XL can now wear a Tremor, it comes as a specific bundle. We can walk you through exactly how that build comes together.
Engine-wise, Tremor pairs with either the 7.3L gas V8 or the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke® diesel — the two engines offered on the 2027 Super Duty.
What’s New About Tremor for 2027?
Two changes stand out this model year:
- Available on all trims, including XL. The biggest news. Buyers who want an off-road-capable work truck at a lower trim level now have a factory path to it.
- Now orderable with the 8-foot bed / 176-inch wheelbase on XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum — so you no longer have to choose between Tremor capability and a full-length box.
Combined with the simplified 2027 engine lineup, that means more buyers can spec a Tremor the way they actually need it.
Key Takeaways
- Tremor (option 17Y) is now available on all five 2027 Super Duty trims, including XL.
- It adds 35-inch tires, locking rear diff, front limited-slip diff, performance shocks, raised ride height, skid plates, and off-road drive modes.
- Requires 4x4 and Crew Cab; it’s single-rear-wheel only and not available on F-450.
- New for 2027: orderable with the 8-foot bed on XLT and up.
- For XL buyers who want off-road capability without the Tremor bundle, the FX4 Off-Road Package is the simpler alternative.
Tremor vs. FX4 — Which Off-Road Package Is Right?
The Super Duty offers two factory off-road packages, and they’re built for different buyers.
Tremor (17Y) is the serious off-road build — raised ride height, 35-inch tires, locking and limited-slip diffs, performance shocks, skid plates, water fording vent tubes, and multiple off-road drive modes. It’s 4x4 Crew Cab SRW only and changes how the truck rides and performs. If you genuinely use off-road capability, Tremor is the answer.
FX4 Off-Road (17X) is the lighter-touch option, available on all 4x4 Super Duty pickups across trims and cab styles. It adds Hill Descent Control, off-road-tuned shocks, Rock Crawl Mode, skid plates, and an electronic-locking differential — meaningful capability without the ride-height change, larger tires, or configuration restrictions of Tremor.
The quick way to decide: if you regularly run rough terrain — remote hunting property, agricultural land, genuine off-pavement work — Tremor earns its keep. If you want added traction and protection for occasional gravel, mud, and rural roads while keeping the truck closer to standard ride and tow behavior, FX4 is often the smarter, more flexible choice. And FX4 is the path for XL buyers who don’t want the full Tremor bundle.
Is the Tremor Worth It for Central Minnesota Use?
It depends entirely on how you use the truck — and we’ll always tell you straight.
Tremor makes sense if: you run a deer lease or hunting property with rough access roads, you operate on agricultural land with rutted field approaches and spring mud, you head to remote cabins down unmaintained roads, or you simply want the most capable off-pavement Super Duty you can build. The raised ride height, 35-inch tires, and water fording vent tubes are real advantages when the trail gets ugly.
The standard truck or FX4 may fit better if: you’re mostly on highways and county roads, you tow heavy regularly and want to keep the truck’s standard ride and tow manners, or you want to avoid the Crew-Cab-and-SRW configuration limits. The taller tires and ride height that help off-road do change how the truck drives on pavement and at tow speeds.
For a lot of McLeod, Meeker, and Renville County buyers who split their time between real off-road use and daily highway driving, the honest conversation is worth having before you commit the build. Tell us how and where you actually drive, and we’ll help you land on the right setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which trims can get the Tremor Package on the 2027 Super Duty?
All five: XL, XLT, Lariat, King Ranch, and Platinum. It requires 4x4 and a Crew Cab and is single-rear-wheel only. On the XL specifically, Tremor also requires the STX Appearance Package, XL Driver Assist Package, and the 160-inch wheelbase.
What does the Tremor Off-Road Package include?
35-inch off-road tires on 18-inch Ebony Black aluminum wheels, an electronic-locking rear differential, a front limited-slip differential, performance shocks, ride-height-increasing front springs, skid plates for the transfer case and fuel tank, water fording vent tubes, off-road running boards, and Rock Crawl, Trail Control, and Trail Turn Assist drive modes.
Can I get a Tremor on an F-450 or a dually?
No. The Tremor Package is single-rear-wheel only and is not available on Dual Rear Wheel trucks or the F-450. If you need maximum dually or F-450 capability, the FX4 Off-Road Package is the off-road option that fits those configurations.
What’s the difference between Tremor and FX4?
Tremor is the serious off-road build — raised ride height, 35-inch tires, locking and limited-slip diffs, performance shocks, water fording vent tubes, and multiple off-road drive modes, on 4x4 Crew Cab SRW only. FX4 is the lighter-touch package available across all 4x4 Super Duty pickups, adding Hill Descent Control, off-road shocks, Rock Crawl Mode, skid plates, and a locking differential without the ride-height change or configuration limits.
Which engine should I pair with a Tremor?
Both 2027 engines pair with Tremor: the 7.3L gas V8 and the 6.7L High-Output Power Stroke diesel. The right choice depends on how much you tow and how many miles you run — we’ll walk you through the gas-versus-diesel decision based on your actual use. Call (320) 587-4748 to talk it through.
