I am planning on making some modifications to the expo here shortly and was going to start with a performance tune. Right now I am leaning toward 5-star. But I was curious about anyone's personal experience with 5-star or have preference to any other brands? Any advice/recommendations are welcomed. Seems like info on tunes for the expedition from what I have seen is limited. Not sure if it's due to the fact that its an SUV or because the current generation is still relatively new.

There are several posts on here regarding tuning...do a little searching.

My 2020 4x4 Limited Max is tuned by ZFG, here is my best 0-60 on a turned back E85 tune:

I’m running the 5-Star 93 street / tow tune with the S&B Intake and Oiled filter plus the UPR catch can. Still planning to do the cat back exhaust and intercooler later on.

Think the factory intercooler is good, but will see how it goes.

You will see a significant improvement in MCT’s with a good aftermarket IC. These stock aren’t as bad as other EB Ford platforms, but still many gains to be had.

LokiWolf, are you concerned about warranty issues with your tune?

What's your fuel economy on e85?

Worse. Really don’t track it on the 2020 like I did the 2017.

E85 Energy content is less so MPG’s will drop. Not to mention you are more likely to use the Go Fast Pedal cause it is FUN!

The trade off is that E85 is cheaper in my Area. It swings between 80 and 90 cents cheaper than 93. 20-30 Cheaper than 87. So more often fillups, but they cost less. The MPG drop is probably more than the cost difference makes up for though.

If MPG is a concern, E85 isn’t for you. If you really want to see what your Expedition can do power wise, it is.

We currently have 93 in the tank, because of Travel, and don’t want the hassle. Will go back to E85 at some point, because it is FUN!
