Ford F-350 Off-Road Package Offers Tremor-Level Capability at Lower Price
What happened
Ford introduced an XL Off-Road 35-Inch Tire Package for the F-350, which costs $2,995 and adds specific off-road hardware and software features. This package includes a front limited-slip differential, a locking rear differential, upgraded shocks, and Trail Control software. Reports indicate that this package is now appearing in meaningful numbers on dealer lots, offering Tremor-level capability for significantly less than the official Tremor trim.

Why it matters
