Godzilla is a Truck?!

I added the following information to Wikipedia. I gathered the information from the internet, my research of this truck, and from Ford. Also as an owner, I know my way around this behemoth!

For 2020, Ford reintroduced the Tremor name for the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty pickups. The nameplate was last used on the 2014 Ford F-150 as a sport appearance package. As an off-road oriented version of the F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, the Tremor models will compete directly with the Ram 2500 Power Wagon, and feature a suspension lift and upgraded tires and wheels from the factory. The trucks also offer details not found on other Super Duty models, such as available blacked out accents on the front grille, wheels, side emblems, and side mirrors as well as 'Tremor' decals on the sides of the pickup box. Offered as a SuperCrew Cab model with a 6-3/4 foot pickup box, and with four-wheel-drive (4X4), the Tremor comes with the new 7.3L "Godzilla" gasoline V8 engine as standard, while the 6.7L Powerstroke Turbo Diesel V8 engine will be optional (the Ram 2500 Power Wagon only offers a gasoline V8 engine).

Off-road upgrades include 35-inch Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac maximum-traction tires, a specially-tuned rear stabilizer bar, custom 1.7-inch piston twin-tube dampers, a Dana limited-slip front differential, Electronic Locking Rear Differential, off-road running boards, large skid plates, and extended-axle vent tubes. The Super Duty Tremor Off-Road Package has a very high ground clearance of 10.8 inches and a class-leading water fording of 33 inches. Also, the Super Duty Tremor Off-Road Package has the highest approach angle (31.65 degrees) and departure angle (24.51 degrees) of any Super Duty model ever built.

The new 10-speed "TorqShift" automatic transmission features Selectable Drive Modes with settings for Deep Snow/Sand, Slippery, Eco, Tow/Haul, and Normal, as well as an exclusive Rock-Crawl mode. The Super Duty Tremor Off-Road Package also has a Trail Control feature, which is essentially cruise control for off-road driving. Crawl ratios are 53:1 for gasoline-equipped models, while the ratio for diesel-equipped models is 44:1. Another available feature for all Super Duty models (including the Tremor), is the Trailer Reverse Guidance System, which is similar to the Pro Trailer Backup Assist system in the Ford F-150, and allows for the driver to easily back their truck up to a trailer with little effort. The all-new 2020 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty Tremor models went on sale in the Fall of 2019.


One of the best parts about this engine is the Low End Torque! Maximum Torque is rated at 475 lbft but the bulk of it is already there at about 1500 RPMs!


This is from the Ford Website. This engine has been designed as a workhorse but without all the added cost and maintenance involved with a diesel engine.
