and ford could never find out why it drove like that wow thats insane

 

I love it so far. I’ve only got about 500 miles on it. I can from a 2019 xlt 302a. I feel as the interior in the tremor is much nicer with the leather trimmed seats and steering wheel. Mine is the 401a so it’s the mid level with a few other options. But it has the blacked out led headlights and all of the off-road stuff which I won’t ever use anyways. I don’t regret getting it at all. The only downside is the gas mileage isn’t the greatest but that’s to be expected with the larger a/t tires.

 

Was it built at the Jeep Wrangler Factory?

 

LOL My buddy complained that his just built/lifted (at a shop) 2021 wrangler with 37's was wandering all over the road on the highway. I told him to check his tire pressure and when he did he found about 80 psi in all tires. Hope OP checked that first.

 

Yes played with every possible tire pressure combination I could possibly think of, did not improve at all.

 

Whats the payload of a Tremor?

 

FWIW that's a trait with the Wranglers lifted or not with the correct air pressure in the tires!!The manager where i work has a Wrangler and i was talking about the Bronco vs Wrangler tests and how they said the Wrangler wandered all over the road while the Bronco drove nice!!She said whenever her boyfriend drives her Jeep he complains about the Wander steering!!

 

You mean the dealership? Ford rarely gets involved in diagnosing issues.

Go wherever the local 4x4er's go to get lifts and alignments. Those shops tend to have well paid techs that understand alignment issues. Some dealerships just grind their greenhorns through the fluid change and alignment bays.

 

I did take it to a high end 4WD/suspension shop. Was told they have seen several super duty tremors with this same issue, and that in their opinion Ford did not build enough caster into the axle/suspension to help make it track straight. It sounds like the tremor and non tremor trucks are using the same spec front axle and with the additional height of the tremor suspension it makes the caster spec even lower than the regular super duty trucks, which amplifies this issue. If you take a look at the Tremor forums a lot of these trucks are plagued with this issue. Wish I would have looked at the forums before buying it.

The reason mfg’s like Ford and Jeep (wrangler/gladiator) use as little caster as possible is so that the slow speed steering will feel light during test drives. More caster makes the steering feel heavier. The shop recommended a Carli suspension system with either new radius arms or radius arm drop down brackets which would have added more caster to help this issue.

I did not want to lift/add aftermarket suspension so I decided to sell the truck and get a non tremor F-350 which I had previously without this issue, then ended up selling the Tremor and our fifth wheel nearly at the same time.

 

What is the purpose of the hole behind the license plate? Is there something there that may need to be accessed for adjustment or repair?
