The Tramp manual tells you in "5 Configuring TRAMP":

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
   *Note* that some user options described in these examples are not
auto loaded by Emacs.  All examples require TRAMP is installed and
loaded:

     (customize-set-variable 'tramp-verbose 6 "Enable remote command traces")

   For functions used to configure TRAMP, the following clause might be
used in your init file:

     (with-eval-after-load 'tramp (tramp-change-syntax 'simplified))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Best regards, Michael.
