Ford Performance Tune Released for Ranger Raptor for 455 HP / 536 LB-FT Torque

[SubaruRaptor]

The website says 3yr/36k mile warranty. Is that a warranty on the tune itself, or is that saying your factory powertrain warranty is reduced by installing this?

Also note, it says premium fuel is required. The base tune only recommends premium fuel. I wonder if we'll be able to flash between the base and premium tunes at will. I don't need all that power on my daily commute.

You mean dont full throttle between stop lights every 400 feet, living your life 1/16th of a mile at a time?

I thought the 10r60 was at its limit for torque with stock numbers?

This will probably make it not reach 150k miles without catastrophic issues right?

You aren't getting full power on your stock tune by running 87. It's ~30 cents/gallon more or $6/tank. At 16mpg, it's only an extra 1.875c/mile for 91/93. At 12,000 miles per year, it's only an extra $225 in gas.

If we up that to 60cents/gallon, it's only $450 a year.

For me, it's worth it. It's also habit as my previous car (Golf R) took premium as well as my bike.

Does anyone know what a dealership typically charges for these installs? This will be my first FP tune and my understanding is if you want the warranty benefits, a dealership needs to install.

I’m curious too - I’ve used various tuners and flashed vehicles many times; it’s not difficult or time consuming.

Was planning to wait for a few years for a tune but may have to get in on this.

Eh, basically no engine is running at the max from the factory. Should be fine.

I'm well aware that I'm not getting full power with 87, that's why I run it during my daily commute. I fed the truck 93 last weekend at the dunes and felt a slight power bump. I just don't need that everyday doing 1/4 throttle around town. None of my previous vehicles have required premium, and $450 saved on fuel is $450 more that I can spend on mods.

I totally get where you're coming from though. To each their own.

I commented on Mike's post asking about this. I believe the 10R60 is rated for 443 ft-lbs so I'm interested to hear what Ford has to say about that.

Done deal as soon as its released.

Is this an ECU flash/upload of some kind, or is the tool pictured a piggyback device. I'm new to Ford performance stuff....

I just want them to offer the 3.0L in a non-Raptor Ranger. Don't get me wrong, I'd love a Raptor, but I need something that can tow as well. And The Raptor's 5500 lb capacity is just a little too low for my liking.

The 2.7L is no slouch, but I really love that 3.0L in my Explorer.

$825 would be amazing, but I suspect that may be the “product” cost and the dealership will have their own install cost. I hope I’m wrong!

Love how ford de tunes our trucks and then chargers $1k to “find” new power.

I’m excited for this tune but these numbers should’ve been ours out of the gates.
