Ontario's backcountry is unforgiving. From rutted logging roads north of Kentville to steep trails leading into remote hunting camps, the terrain challenges even the most capable trucks. The 2025 Ford Super Duty Tremor was engineered for exactly these conditions.
This isn't a truck that simply looks the part. The Tremor package delivers functional off-road hardware designed to handle real obstacles. For drivers across Ontario who need to venture beyond paved roads, understanding what makes this truck different matters.
Built for Backcountry Access
The Tremor Off-Road Package transforms the Super Duty into a true off-road workhorse. At the foundation sit 35-inch all-terrain tires that provide increased ground clearance and grip on loose surfaces. These tires give the truck the footprint needed to navigate deep ruts, loose gravel, and uneven terrain without losing momentum.
The suspension receives off-road tuning with 1.7-inch twin-tube dampers. This setup absorbs impacts from rocks, roots, and washboard surfaces while maintaining control. The dampers work with the truck's existing heavy-duty frame to provide stability under load, even when the terrain gets rough.
Trail Control and Rock Crawl Mode
Two drive modes address specific off-road challenges. Rock Crawl mode adjusts throttle response and braking to provide precise control at low speeds. When navigating boulder fields or steep, technical sections, this mode lets drivers focus on line choice rather than managing throttle and brake inputs.
Trail Control functions like cruise control for off-road driving. The system maintains a set speed between 1 and 32 km/h while the driver steers. This feature proves valuable on long, uneven trails where constant speed adjustments become tiring. It also helps maintain traction on slippery surfaces by managing wheel slip automatically.
Power Options for Ontario Conditions
The Tremor package pairs with two engine choices. The 7.3L Gas V8 delivers 430 horsepower and 485 lb-ft of torque. This naturally aspirated engine provides consistent power output regardless of elevation or temperature.
The alternative is the 6.7L High-Output PowerStroke V8 Turbo Diesel, producing 500 horsepower and 1,200 lb-ft of torque. The diesel's massive torque output suits heavy towing and low-speed trail work. Both engines pair with a TorqShift 10-speed automatic transmission offering five selectable drive modes.
Ground Clearance and Approach Angles
Enhanced ground clearance allows the Tremor to clear obstacles that would stop standard trucks. The suspension lift and larger tires increase the distance between the frame and obstacles below. This clearance matters when crossing uneven ground, fording shallow water crossings, or navigating rocky paths.
Improved approach and departure angles let the truck handle steeper inclines and declines without scraping. Steel skid plates protect the fuel tank, transfer case, and other vulnerable components from rock strikes. These plates are functional equipment, not decorative add-ons.
Towing and Hauling Capability
Off-road capability doesn't compromise the Super Duty's core strengths. When properly equipped, the truck achieves up to 18,144 kg (40,000 lbs) gooseneck towing capacity and 13,608 kg (30,000 lbs) conventional towing. The payload rating reaches 3,629 kg (8,000 lbs).
These numbers mean the Tremor can tow large equipment trailers to remote job sites or haul heavy loads over rough access roads. The truck's frame and drivetrain handle both the weight and the terrain.

Ontario Terrain Testing
Ontario's diverse landscape provides natural testing grounds. Winter logging roads become slick with ice and snow. Spring runoff creates mud and water crossings. Summer trails develop deep ruts from seasonal use. The Tremor's systems address all these conditions.
The electronic locking rear differential improves traction when one wheel loses grip. Water-fording vent tubes extend air intakes, allowing the truck to cross shallow water without damage. The combination of mechanical capability and electronic aids provides confidence when roads disappear.
Access to Remote Locations
For many drivers in Ontario, off-road capability isn't about recreation. It's about access. Reaching hunting camps, cottage properties, and work sites often requires travelling over poor-quality roads or no roads at all. The Tremor provides reliable access to these locations year-round.
The truck's size and capability also mean it can extract itself from difficult situations. The combination of power, traction systems, and ground clearance reduces the risk of getting stuck in remote areas where help isn't readily available.
