    Considering the new 5 Star Tune for my 2023 Expy Limited - Anyone Have It?

    Just had to initiate a chargeback with my credit card company for 5 Star Tuning as they stopped responding to my emails requesting they actually provide the product I paid for back in September. They have turned into a company that I would avoid at all costs.

    Thoughts on performance chips?

    You would do it on a Lightning to spin the supercharger faster thus making additional boost. It's not worth touching on an EcoBoost.

    not having a good towing experience - 23' airsteam/5000lbs 500lb tongue weight

    Our 2024 Limited Stealth combined with a Weigh Safe weight distribution hitch pulls our 24' trailer (29' overall length and ~7,000LBS.) very well. I'd say it tows better than my old 2017 F-150 crew cab short box, despite the shorter wheelbase. I chased "upgrades" to make the F-150 tow better...

    All of the tuners I listed are capable of getting 100+ additional horsepower to the wheels and it's common to see these types of gains on many modern forced-induction engines outside of EcoBoosts. Again, there are plenty of examples of tuned Ecoboosts with over 100K tuned miles. Do some people...

    Thoughts on performance chips?

    Tuning a modern forced induction, direct injected gasoline platform is one of the best bangs for the buck out there. It's not uncommon for 3.5 ecoboosts to see close to an extra 100 wheel horsepower and torque from tuning alone. Tuning with ethanol mixes is even more impressive. Do you realize...

    Considering the new 5 Star Tune for my 2023 Expy Limited - Anyone Have It?

    I gave them my stock file on 9/18 and was informed they do not have tunes ready for the newer Expeditions yet. They gave no timeline for when they would be ready either.
