Tow-haul mode and Sport mode still perform similar to what they normally would. Tow-haul uses engine braking to maintain speed on downhills and reduces gear hunting. Sport mode holds gears longer, etc.
Thanks for the shout out, glad to see we were able to get that taken care of for you so quickly!
We strongly suggest against the use of any additives in the fuel such as octane boosters or race fuel concentrates. Ford also mentions this in the owners manuals as well. Boosters have been found to cause issues long term with build up / residue as another has mentioned on here that can make internal parts get a rusty colored type of coating. They can also cause harm to catalytic converters, o2 sensors, plugs, etc. These trucks are designed for use with fuel ranging from E0 to E15 so it wouldn't hurt to add a small amount of additional ethanol into the mix if I had to pick between the two.
Right, just wanted to make sure it's safe to tow with the tune. When towing you don't want to throw high boost, advanced timing under heavy load. Hence why diesel guys get a tow tune vs a power tune etc.
I believe Livernois recommends switching to their tow tune for heavy or prolonged tow use, but tow/haul mode on a performance tune is fine for shorter, easier tow usage.
On the pedal commander website they only show 2011 ranger compatible devices, never had one before but could you show me where you got yours?
Use the search drop downs at the top of their page. It will bring up the PC18. The Ranger isn't listed in the description but all the other Fords are. There was a discount you can try "PC20". Two QDs and its done. I didn't set up the bluetooth and just use the city setting. I did try the sport and sport +, this truck runs very well with the stock tune and the PC! I like the Livernois tune too but I could be happy with just the PC installed.
Interesting, correct me if I’m wrong but the pedal commander essentially adds more “modes” to my truck. Like D and switching to S. Not an unsafe thing just changes how the car will feel and respond? So the pedal commander changes the “feel” while the tune (Im running a livernoise 93 performance) actually goes into my trucks code and changes when and how it performs ? So added on top it would again just be more “modes” and a different “feel” but no real preformance increase even while “feeling” like the response and stuff is quicker? Hope I Understood that correctlyUse the search drop downs at the top of their page. It will bring up the PC18. The Ranger isn't listed in the description but all the other Fords are.

That's correct. The commander adds zero hp/performance just a more responsive pedal with different modes. This is a good option for those who don't want/need more power (why wouldn't you ? ) but just a more responsive pedal. But for a couple hundred more you can have a tune that really wakes this 2.3cyl up.

). beautiful work guys. The extra power passing folks is handy too, was reeling a guy in in a newish F150 uphill with all my camping gear in the back trying to pass a Prius in one of the way to few and short passing lanes on Hwy 88 on the way home. Even got a nod from the guy when we went by him on the next one.
