slemke Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Will this work on any 3.0L ecoboost? Aviator has essentially the same engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Explorer Platinum and KR have the same engine too. This is a Ford Performance tune which the ST is the only Ford Performance variant. There are many tuning option out there that will give you more safe performance then this tune if one wants. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Please have one for the Edge ST. I am aware of the differences but I can wish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpd80 Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 (edited) How ironic that it’s illegal in California the home of car mod culture Quote There are several catches, however. First, these benefits can only be unlocked by filling the tank with premium gasoline. Second, installing the tune on a 2022 Explorer ST is illegal in California, where regulators began cracking down on software that alters a car's ECU in 2021. It's legal on 2020 and 2021 models in California and on every ST regardless of model year in the rest of the nation. Maybe Ford needs to make it a factory option that meets all compliance requirements to get around the nanny states… Edited October 8, 2022 by jpd80 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bronco is not a Ford Performance vehicle but it is getting the calibration tune too. I think in theory the tune can apply to any 3.0 EB equipped Explorer and Aviator but Ford for sure will not sell it like that. Also before anyone asks... this is not a factory option like "performance package" on the ST because Ford will have to do update the fuel consumption number of the window sticker and could impact CAFE. Easier to sell it as aftermarket add on which doesn't have any effect on the MPG on the window sticker nor the CAFE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow - so F150 Raptor is Ford Performance but Bronco Raptor isn’t? Strange. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
