Those of you who are wondering if custom tuning is possible on the 2025 RR, it is!

I started this project with my buddies 2025 RR a few weeks ago. The guys at HPTuners were able to get us going pretty quickly considering it hadn't been done yet. They defined it and pushed it out for us to flash this truck.

Tuned via HPTuners ECU swap.

Mods

S&B Intake
COBB intercooler


Big things coming from this one!

Didn’t you just swap the ECU? That’s not a custom tune. 5 Star tuning is coming out with custom tunes. No swap.
All I do is custom tuning. The ecu needs to be swapped in order to custom tune the truck.

Once swapped then I can start the tuning process as I did above!

Here is us flashing his second revision

How much other Ford content has to go into that ECU? In other words, is it responsible for more than just the engine tune?

You're saying somebody has figured out how to break the stock ECU?

The ECU contents are identical to the original ECU contents now. It controls the transmission as well a other functions.

The ECU swap just puts the old ECU content on an ECU with less security. Having an ECU with less security enables us to read/write (tune) it. That's the purpose of this swap

From his question to me, I'm not sure he's clear on what needs to be done.

The current ECU has to be swapped for read/write capabilities

I'm just having my dealer installed the Ford Performance tune before I take delivery.

Cool! This will make 50-60hp over that tune

I beleive in 5Star they did my old 2019 Ranger and it was perfect!
Bought the Ford tune for my 2024 RR and no one in New England would install it to keep my warranty.
When 5Star comes out with a tune I will buy it and say to Hell with my warrenty!
