I own a 2018 with the 5.0 which I bought in 2020 and decided on the 5.0 because of less moving parts and the turbo lag. I tow and haul a truck camper so I wanted a motor with the power to haul it all. Good luck with your purchase. BTW, I've had no issues with mine at all.

I own a 2016 F150 Lariat, it has and is one of the best ford trucks I have owned. I have owned 3 Ford F150 pickup trucks and 3 of the 3 had V8s in them. Two of the V8 engines were the 5.0 V8. I think that is the best engine to get. I have had no trouble with either 5.0 engine. good luck on your choice.

Unless I'm crazy, Tremor wheels only come on the Tremor package from the factory and nothing else

The 24' STX/ FX4 package includes the same wheels as the Rattler Package
I Don't think there was a black package on the 24' STX, everything with the 201A is just painted black[wheels, grill, XL bumpers with cutouts]

Unless you are talking about an older generation F-150, this isn't true. My 2024 F-150 STX (201A) came with the black appearance package and it had the same exact 18" alloy wheels that the Tremor comes with. 18" wheels and 275/70/R18 tires. Most do not come configured that way, but mine did. It even had the same rear bumper as the Tremor with the dual exhaust cutouts. In order to get this combination, you have to get the STX with the 201A equipment group and the FX4 package.
No floor shift w/ STX, No tremor wheels, those are 2023 model Rattler pkg wheels,

I'll take an STX BAP 2.7 SCAB. If the rebates are better in the XLT BAP SCAB then I'll grab that. Either way, I don't tow much so 2.7 is my choice. 'Nuff said. Next question.

That didn't sound right to me, but I looked at the window sticker for my 2024 STX 201A truck and it showed 265/70/R18C wheels tires, and though similar, they are slightly different than the ones that come with the Tremor. I just bought my Tremor last night and had the trucks next to each other in the daylight and the wheels are super close. I didn't even notice the difference at the time, but I did notice the tires were smaller.

Are these the wheels and tires you thought were the same as on the tremor?

And Tremor wheels are not black, and quite different than the other wheels

Yes but I have seen STX’s with those wheels and General Grabber tires too.
