Well, now [he’s back, running the same loop]() to test the 2021 F-150 Tremor MPG. ### F-150 Tremor: brand new for 2021 This new off-road package for the F-150 falls somewhere between the existing FX4 and the [Raptor](). It includes some design and off-road elements from the Raptor such as the side steps, vented hood and Raptor-style skid plate. But it’s unique too with its orange [Tremor]() badging on the bed side, tailgate, floor mats and leather seats plus all the orange stitching and accents inside and out. The Tremor package has three levels available: base, mid and high. The infotainment screen is smaller on the base model, and then as you go up more options become available. Pricing for the F-150 Tremor starts at $49,505. This test truck has the 4028 High Package which adds $13,445 for a larger screen, premium sound system heated steering wheel, power-folding mirrors, power rear window, plus a few more add-on options, which brings you to $65,735 pretty quickly. ### Comfort on and off the road Esterdahl reports that for an off-road truck with 33-inch knobby tires this truck is pretty quiet. There is no tire whine and the ride is smooth. He likes that there are three memory seat positions and [adjustable pedals](). The truck also offers trail turn assist, which holds one rear tire still to help you make the turn more efficiently. ### Shocking 2021 F-150 Tremor MPG results You’d think the F-150 hybrid would way out-perform the Tremor when it comes to fuel economy but Esterdahl’s test shows just a 3 MPG difference. The results? The 2021 F-150 Tremor MPG was calculated by the truck to be 20.6 MPG. When Esterdahl calculated it by hand it was 19.48 MPG. Ford’s published estimated numbers are 16 city/20 highway/18 combined. This seems very reasonable for such an off-road capable pickup truck. What do y’all think? Would just 3 MPG matter that much to you? ## Related vehicle coverage - [2021 Ford F-150]() ## Structured page information ~~~json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@graph": [ { "@type": "Article", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/#article", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/" }, "author": { "name": "Erica Mueller", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#/schema/person/28ea7673f6c33cc560979055b335c167" }, "headline": "2021 Ford F-150 Tremor MPG vs PowerBoost Hybrid", "datePublished": "2021-11-11T14:06:05+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-08-19T16:24:57+00:00", "mainEntityOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/" }, "wordCount": 354, "commentCount": 1, "publisher": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#organization" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/wow-difference-2021-ford-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid.jpg", "keywords": [ "2021 F-150 Tremor", "2021 F-150 Tremor MPG", "2021 Ford F-150 Tremor MPG", "ford tremor", "full-size truck", "tremor" ], "articleSection": [ "Buyer's Guide", "Comparisons" ], "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "CommentAction", "name": "Comment", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/#respond" ] } ] }, { "@type": "WebPage", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/", "name": "2021 Ford F-150 Tremor MPG vs PowerBoost", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/#website" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/#primaryimage" }, "image": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/#primaryimage" }, "thumbnailUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/wow-difference-2021-ford-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid.jpg", "datePublished": "2021-11-11T14:06:05+00:00", "dateModified": "2026-08-19T16:24:57+00:00", "description": "Recently Tim tested the MPG on his 2021 F-150 Powerboost hybrid and now he's doing the same for the 2021 F-150 Tremor MPG to compare.", "breadcrumb": { "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/#breadcrumb" }, "inLanguage": "en-US", "potentialAction": [ { "@type": "ReadAction", "target": [ "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/" ] } ] }, { "@type": "ImageObject", "inLanguage": "en-US", "@id": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/2021/11/2021-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid/#primaryimage", "url": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/wow-difference-2021-ford-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://pickuptrucktalk.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/wow-difference-2021-ford-f-150-tremor-mpg-vs-f-150-powerboost-hybrid.jpg", "width": 1280, "height": 720, "caption": "wow difference?
