Just purchased this today. 2025 4x4 xlt 2.7 with for stx and advance tow as well as a lift and tires and wheels. Only had 5100 miles on it. Loving it so far. And glad to join the group.
was going to purchase a brand new 2.3 xl but this was the same price. So I went with it. Coming from a 04 tundra with a 4.7L v8. This is a huge upgrade. Any tips or tricks to customize and make them better that you all have found and done/added on?

For sure! Already have forscan and the cable. What all have you found helpful turning on or off using forscan?
also is there a way to see how much boost it’s making?

I could be mistaken, but I don’t believe there’s a way to view boost pressure on an XLT without adding an aftermarket gauge. With stock equipment, I think that’s only possible on the Lariat and the Raptor, since they use the larger digital instrument cluster with customizable gauges.

A photo of the instrument cluster on my 2025 Ford Ranger Lariat with the boost pressure gauge displayed:

You can get boost on the XLT, under the off-road option, which may be specific to my FX4. Loving the 2.7 so far.

OH! I'm taking notes. The screen's request to hit OK all the time is a pain. I hope I can make that go away. Tire temps would be great to have...
