    I'm seeing 24MPG with my tune on street tires but when I put the mud tires on I'm seeing 20MPG. I tow a 20' RV in the mountains and I'm usually passing everyone up grade. The truck is impressive for a 2.3L. I'm a V8 guys always have been but this engine is very impressive.

    Bought my 2020 Ranger Lariat 2 months ago, just had the Ford Permance Level 2 pack installed.
    The tune is top notch, the truck was responsive before, with the tune it is a very noticeable improvement. It just rips through the gears, the transmission has been impacted by the tune in a very good way. Really pleased with the truck and the Ford Performance kit is a 100% recommended addition.

    Chris said that the "Ford supplemental warranty guide" (whatever THAT is) states that "no warranty is compromised due to an aftermarket component". However, that's NOT what the "2019 Model Year Ford Warranty Guide" states. Beginning on page 12, it says: "The New Vehicle Limited Warranty does not cover any damage caused by: ...the installation or use of a non-Ford Motor Company part or software..."

    I’d rather find this and install it in my 72 Pinto than do what I did back in the 80’s with my 76. Install it and forget about it.
    Sure, snatching a motor out of an old Merkur XR4Ti, SVO or Thunderbird Turbo Coupe back in the day, and building it up with Esslinger Engineering parts, was the program back then - but one of these motors in stock form (with a tune) is good enough for me.

    Awesome! These numbers with the 5 Star tune closely match what the 2.7 Ecobbost V-6 puts out.
    Would still prefer to have that V-6 but if that is not an option in 2020 then a 5 Star tune will be in my budget.

      Danny Lynch I was stoked when I heard that the ranger would have the eco boost because I assumed it would be the 2.7. I was greatly disappointed when it came with the 2.3, mainly because I was hoping it would kick the aftermarket for the 2.7 into gear. Oh well.

    IDK, i have a friend who runs a mustang shop, he has dealt a lot with the 2.3L ecoboost engine and with the ranger having basically the same engine i assume the same common issues will occur with tunes on this truck. Typically they crack between the back 2 cylinders due to heat trapped in the engine bay along with chronic issues of blown head gaskets. Sounds like they are using basically the factory ford 310hp ford racing tune for the mustang on the ranger... Ford Part M-6017-23T

  • @VigilantPillow
    @VigilantPillow 5 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    can't argue with the speed gains. but, i see some problems. stock torque curve is much flatter than with the new tune. after peak torque, the torque drops off pretty quick on the tune. also, it looks like the full throttle shift points are appx 5,500 rpm, which is after the tuned hp is starting to fall off. once again, the gains are nice. but, i think they could clean it up some more. i'd also like to see the air/fuel ratios.

    • @Marbind
      @Marbind 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      When torque goes that high early it means that the turbo is tiny. Not much can be done to flatten it up without upgrading the turbo. Also power going out after 5,500rpm is also related to a tiny turbo.
      Will it be faster shifting earlier?
      It has to be tested. Sometimes works sometimes doesn’t. The difference is very little. Based on my own experience. I have a car with a similar torque curve.

    • @rachelleb.2392

    Weight is a killer even on a truck. I’ve got the lightest ranger you can get coming my way an XL-100A package with the smaller super cab and just 2wd. For longevity I added the tow package, and my options are light. So mine should be quicker cause I’m not dragging the weight of a 4wd system

    • @reaj2010
      @reaj2010 ปีที่แล้ว

      The 4wd will beat the 2wd bud. The weight difference yes but the 4wd can brake boost and launch in 4wd. The 2wd will spin the tires at that power level. Especially if the ground is wet at all which is like half the time . The super cab is a nice reduction though.
