The big news about the Tremor? Fox monotubes with remote reservoirs along with 32-inch knobbies. Oh, and a power pack to manage your lights and stuff plus rear recovery hooks, suede seats and blacked-out trim.

And doing some truck stuff with the truck. (This is how you do truck stuff, right?)
I can understand turning your nose up at an expensive Tremor, but I somehow feel like this is comparing apples to oranges.
A Ranger Lariat 4x4 with no other options stickers just over $38k
An F150 Lariat 4x4 with no other options stickers just over $50k
That feels like a pretty big gulf to me, but maybe make that case instead?
I think the issue with the gas mileage is comparing apples to oranges too, you're looking at actual mpg vs EPA ratings. I don't know anyone in real life with a full size truck that gets better than 19mpg combined on a regular basis. Sure, they'll eek out 23-24 on the freeway on a long trip and brag about it, but cruising around town almost always results in 14-17 whether its a V8 or a TTV6.
And if you compare 19mpg combined to various vehicle efforts throughout the ages, its actually pretty solid. This is a 300hp, 4500 pound vehicle. The 230hp, 3400 pound, 2WD, low ride height vehicle from ten years ago that I own gets 18-20 around town on premium gas.
