Ford Performance Tune for Gen 3s

[tone228]

The thing I find most annoying about the Ford Performance calibration for the F150 Raptor is that owners, including myself, have been waiting years for this and the Bronco and Ranger Raptors already have a tune for those models. Other than the Raptor R, it seems that Ford Performance has not prioritized what started this.

I was told by FP that a tune is coming in Q4 of this year. Been told this before.

You’ve been told Q4 this year before or they told you another deadline that has passed?

I hope they don't ramp up the modes such that normal = sport, Sport = baja...etc. Id rather them just make it shift better/more intelligently. A min setting of sport would be a show stopper for me. Sometimes i need the trans to be calm...lol

Tow/haul mode does that nicely on gen 2. Is gen 3 different?

I’ve been told to expect a calibration “soon” in the past. I was just told today by FP to expect it in Q4 of this year. Now that they have released the 3.0l versions, perhaps they are very close to releasing the cal for the 3.5.

If the amount of the increased horsepower and torque are similar to the 3.0L calibration, then the 3.5L Ecoboost calibration bump should fall around 500hp and 600lb-ft torque.

It does, kind of. I know what you mean, it’s the closest thing to a normal + mode that goes through all the gears that we’ve got.

If it’s similar spec bumps as the Ranger Raptor and sub $1k I am in.

I spoke with Ford Performance about the Bronco Raptor tune. It only covers 3/36k from the purchase date of the vehicle not the tune purchase date. Also ESP/extended warranties are not covered. If the tune is determined to be the cause of the failure after the 3/36k expires the extended warranty will not cover the repairs.

What is Ford’s traditional communication method for these tune updates? Brand new ‘24 owner here.

Big problem here.

Yeah once you hit 36k miles, might as well go with a more aggressive tune unless they are never able to crack the newer models.
