Ford's popular F-150 SVT Raptor now has some company thanks to the introduction of the all-new F-150 Tremor.

The truck is set to become Ford's first EcoBoost-powered F-150 according to a company press release. With a short-wheelbase and regular cabin design, the truck is aimed at customers looking for a sport truck with excellent fuel economy.

Fuel economy is said to be 16/22 mpg city/highway according to Ford, for the rear-wheel-drive model option. Choosing the all-wheel drive option will lower those numbers significantly.

The truck is powered by Ford's 3.5-liter EcoBoost engine, which features:
