In one fell swoop, Ford unveiled the 2024 Ranger and Ranger Raptor at an event earlier this month. Now, a “Body Builders Layout Book” has revealed a Tremor variant is on the horizon.
Posted on Ranger6G, the document mentions a Ranger Tremor Crew Cab 4X4 and says it will ride on 17-inch wheels wrapped in meatier all-terrain tires. It goes on to suggest the truck will have a lift as well as a GVWR of 6,790 lbs (3,080 kg).
That isn’t much to go on, but the outgoing Ranger Tremor was designed to provide drivers with improved off-road capability without sacrificing the “everyday drivability, payload and towing capacity Ranger owners expect.” As part of this effort, the truck has a lifted suspension, retuned springs, a more relaxed anti-roll bar, and FOX 2.0 monotube dampers with rear piggyback reservoirs.

Besides the suspension tweaks, the truck has underbody protection and 32-inch Continental General Grabber all-terrain tires. They’re joined by a locking rear differential, Trail Control, a Terrain Management System, and an extra 0.8 inches (20 mm) of ground clearance.
How much of this will carryover to the redesigned Ranger Tremor remains to be seen, but the model should appeal to those looking for something more extreme than the Ranger FX4. The truck should also be far more affordable than the Ranger Raptor, which starts at $56,960.

Besides mentioning a Tremor variant, the document indicated the upcoming 2.7-liter EcoBoost V6 engine will be offered exclusively with four-wheel drive. It’s slated to arrive this fall with an output of 315 hp (235 kW / 319 PS) and 400 lb-ft (542 Nm) of torque.
