Not warranted by Ford. I wouldn't do that on a new truck. They might try to void engine/drivetrain warranty issues by blaming the 'unauthorized' tune. Wait until the OEM warranty is out.

I tuned my 5G while it still had warranty left. So did numerous others. Never heard one of them have warranty issues. Ford would have to prove the tune caused the failure.

Yes, that's the way it's supposed to work, but some dealerships are shady. Like the guy whose engine warranty was initially denied because there were signs of 'off roading' on his FX4.

Edit: It was 5G. Thought I'd put the link.

Yeah, but if I recall, that was easily reversed. I researched the hell out of it and weighed the risks, and would gladly do it again.

Damn you! Wife will kill me! Seriously though, thanks for the insight. I guess a test drive wouldn't kill me.

Post pictures of it in your driveway.

I haven't even looked at it yet. In the evenings after a couple of drinks I'm all like I really gotta go drive it. Then the next morning I'm all like what am I thinking, I got my 5G all set up nice! I'm kinda waiting to see if they'll drop it anymore or how motivated the salesman is and emails me again.
I am somewhat motivated by the fact is the more reliable trans. Do the '25's with the 2.7L have the dual injection set up? That would also be a motivator.

Yes, but not the RR 3.0L

Ok, still on the fence on this. I worked up the nerve to ask the wife "you think I should go look at that truck"? And before the question could even sink in, she said "oh look, an eagle"! Sure enough, a beautiful bald eagle was perched in a tree in our back yard. Was this an omen? I still don't think she knows what I said.

Well, they just dropped the price another 1k. I am getting some people over on the 5G forum that say getting the 6G for the 10R60 may not be smart, because people don't have enough miles on the 6G to see if it's more reliable than the 10R80.

It's been 5 years. 10R60 started in 2021 Bronco.
And 5G forum is near 100% sure the 10R80 will explode before 60K miles, even though it's been around since 2017.

And the 10R80 before the 5G Ranger in F150's.

Got 5G 75k service done today, walked the lot and discovered a '25 Lariat, V6, loaded, for $7100 under MSRP. So damn tempted! Maybe I should at least test drive it?

Just be aware the truck will drop 10k plus after purchase… ask me how I know

Not news, I bought my 5G new.

Yep, paid $30K May '21 for STX RWD, only got $18.5K in Nov 24 at 63K miles.

You did good… my XLT that stickers at $49k is worth $33k 6 months and 4000 miles later

Does anybody offer an aftermarket, dual, rear exit exhaust for the '25 2.7? I looked at Boral, Gibson and Ford Performance, and they all have side exit exhausts only. I would be interested in something like that which comes on the Raptor.
