hearing the MY24 tune is pushing better numbers then the 21-23 tunes, and this is why it isnt released yet. they are waiting on EPA approval to release.
Why would Ford push better numbers on a newer year model with more powertrain warranty leftover when they are the exact same powertrain? If anything they'd gladly give the 2021s an extra 100 HP lol

This is not a good idea. The Burger “tuner” is not a Calibration at all. The device manipulates data going into the ecu to increase power. All of the “map” settings are based on the factory calibration. If that calibration is changed, the burger could create a situation that can result in catastrophic engine damage (and it would not be the fault of their device). I don’t recommend playing “electronic chemistry” set with devices and calibrations. It’s best to pick a lane…
I agree that some caution is warranted if going this route. Probably unwise to just plug it in on top of the FP tune and run any kind of aggressive settings. However, the JB4 has wide parameters, so the settings can be made to work on a truck with a tune just as well as a stock truck. One could start off with the JB4 settings at nominal (no fuel, timing, boost changes downstream from the ECU) and work from there. I wouldn’t be surprised if the Burger folks are already working on a calibration for this specific application.

To encourage 2024 MY purchases and to compete better with the new RHO.

Ehhh. I wouldn’t think too much into it. Ford isn’t going to bank on selling trucks, and then an accessory tune, just to say they make as much or more HP than a Ram. They are selling as many raptors as they can build and 99% of customers won’t be cross shopping another brand over a few HP here or there. The accessory stuff is meant for the niche.

If they were trying to compete with the RHO HP/HP why wouldn't ford just advertise the more HP and TQ it already has over the gen 2. Sure its not 540, but the Raptor doesn't weigh as much.

My 24 does this too. Radio stays on weirdly long….much longer than previous raptors

Has to be due to the latest OTA update. My 23 was doing this all day today. Truck off, open close driver door, open rear door and it'll still play music for a few seconds.
A month+ ago, would turn off right away.
