The pedal delay that ford programmed in is for people like you..."pedal smashers"

PC doesn't make the throttle super touchy, it makes it accurate. So when you give 60% you get 60% exactly at the rate you apply the throttle.

Negative. Maybe in one of its modes it comes close, but you can also tune it to something like 10% input for 100% throttle opening (Sport+ +4)

That linear throttle response you're talking about is on the truck stock, in Off-road Mode.

first, need picture if you're good looking carry on hahaha

second who gives a rat's ass what a vendor sells at make Freedom buy in bulk to make it so-called fair.

making FRF great again

Dislike... :baby: Buying in bulk does offer me better pricing for my wholesale cost, but being such a small company doesn't make it feasible. However, we will just say that the agreement that I reached with @svc makes it more than fair for both of our companies.

While I agree that off road mode does something similar, it also detunes the truck a bit too much for a lot of folks, including myself. The only advantage to offroad mode for me personally is turning the airbags off since I have a switch installed that allows me to lock the rear differential at all times without offroad mode. With the Pedal Commander, I will be able to retard the throttle response without sacrificing power and torque overall.

ORM changes the throttle mapping, it does not detune the engine.

Ok, so I get that yourself and SVC probably have access to info that I don't. That being said, I've never heard that ORM 'de-tunes' the truck. It changes the throttle map, yes, as well as a few other things Advance-trac settings are changed, locker can stay enabled, and the transmission shift points are different.

I guess what I'm wanting to know, now that something that was held to be common knowledge for years (that ORM makes throttle response linear, and doesn't de-tune the power) has changed, what has come out to change this? Are there dyno runs to prove the truck gets de-tuned? Or throttle maps to prove it doesn't operate the way SVT told us it did?

I may be mistakenly talking about a custom tuned truck. Sorry, my thinking is sometimes locked into my truck. When you are running a custom tune, while I don't know ALL the specifics on how it works, I have been told for years that when you go to offroad mode you lose the extra power from the custom tune. I am not 100% sure on that because that is what I have been told over the years and I am not a "tuner" so to speak.

Price fixing much, unfortunately your little cartel you have going would be considered illegal under US antitrust laws. Yet another reason not to do business with these 3 companies.

Ok, I'm definitely tracking that. From what I understand that was the biggest hurdle for the Raptor was tuning for ORM, so it'd make sense that they left it alone. "de-tune" in the literal sense would be a good term for that haha.

This thread is TLTR, but do these little gizmos work on the '17's? Asking for a Customer.
