The Ranger Tremor is equipped with 32-inch Continental General Grabber A/TX all-terrain tires on new 17-inch magnetic-painted wheels. This gives the Ranger Tremor 0.8 more inches than the base Ranger variant.

Not only does the Ranger Tremor come with performance enhancements, but also cosmetics. The grille features a magnetic-painted surround with black bars running across the middle. It also has red accents in the corner. Inside, the seats come with Miko suede inserts, “Tremor” stitching, and black accents.

As for pricing, the Ford Ranger Tremor off-road package costs $4,290 (or Php 208,032 excluding local taxes). The Ford Ranger Tremor is a good alternative for American car buyers who want a Ford Ranger Raptor as it is not currently available in the U.S. market. However, reports are saying that the Ranger Raptor will be coming to the U.S. in 2022.

“No matter if you’re on-road or off-road, your truck needs to be tough. That’s why toughness is engrained in Ranger’s DNA throughout design, engineering, and testing.

Tremor gives you the added confidence to get to where you need to go because it’s engineered to the same standards you expect in a Built Ford Tough Truck,” said Chad Callander, Ford Ranger marketing manager.
