5 Star tuned 2018 F150 shortbed XL 3.5 track hound. Low 11's and on its 20th pass, scattered the crank after ingesting the turbos. Not 5 🌟's fault, Ford fault for a bad turbo bearing and me beating the snoteroonies out of it. 13,500 miles. Cost me $ 12,000 to repair as it took out the radiator and all the AC components as well. My neighbors 1975 D150 with a Supercharged Junkyard 5.7 has a seasons full of loudpeddle debauchery and still spec's out within 3% of factory. Mind you, we picked up the motor for $2500 with trans and $5k for the Supercharger. Gotta pay to play !

When running boost on an engine it is bound to break. Upgrading hardware will give you longevity and better performance. This is a cheap way out of upgrading your vehicle. The 6.4 in the durango if rebuilt on the bottom end will give endless miles. Also what about the drive lines with the tunes?!?! If you drive it like it should be driven it will wear down. This tune just decreases that time.

Neither Ford nor Fiat will have parts to fix them after seven years and even if they did, the cost of labor will exceed the value of the vehicle.

Deere Gear of Northeast GA Incorrect. There's not an agency in the USA that "tunes" their patrol vehicles in 2019. Warranty and longevity of all engine-related components (drivetrain, differentials, & axles included) are the main goals of every agency when it comes to money spent on patrol units. Any custom tuning would also present a blatant liability issue for any occurence that could be even remotely attributed to any vehicle performance modifications beyond the mods of retrofitted emergency equipment (and there are already very specific guidelines & requirements for aftermarket equipment installations).

@@TheSlow281 they did what before, V8's, weak ones! The Take rate is much higher on the Eco boost engines in the pick up trucks so why would they change?

I feel like they forgot about that huge weight difference somewhere. That's impressive for a much bigger truck X'D. Also.... It's not really "just a tune" if you're using a more combustible fuel.

Good video. I didn't know about the explorer st.

13K price difference is more than just a small edge. Add $700 for the tune and tuner and the Fords a no brainer.

Maybe I'm overly cautious, but 168lb-ft is a lot of torque to add with no change in hardware. I'm guessing the bill will soon be over $700 when something breaks and the warranty is void (I'm assuming this tune voids the warranty, right?)

Sky Walker It absolutely does. A powertrain failure in this vehicle will cost you 12k out of pocket if the EEPROM has been reflashed. Mode 9 vehicle information stored in the PCM easily and quickly gives the telltale. Leave it stock. These vehicles are having serious issues out of the gate. Google 2020 explorer Chicago assembly plant. There is multiple articles on it. They are having to ship tens of thousands of these things from South Chicago to Flat Rock Michigan to be reworked due to false builds. And paying crews around the clock to fix the plethora of issues due to the misbuilds..

I do car videos on my video blog -- specifically around tunes and other performance parts.-- I appreciate the work that you put into this particular video. A question for 5 star here -- did the tuned explorer have cool plugs, 140 t-stat, CAI, down pipes, or cat back, or was it just a tune + e85 mix? Definitely have my interest on a tune as I'm looking at an ST for my next grocery getter. Last -- did i see that you can load more than one tune in the ST and choose it from the interface?? That would be AMAZING. (given the SHO only had all in our all out)

I got a 2018 Durango near the end of 2018. I drove a 2020 Explorer a few months back and wish I would have waited before getting my Durango! I've had to have so many things fixed under warranty atleast on my Dodge. From my own experience I never had problems like this with my previous Ford Motor Co. vehicles.

One thing most people don't know about the Ecoboost engines, is that they WILL NOT make max power via boost, until a break-in mileage threshold is surpassed. I know this is the case with the Focus ST...the computer will not allow you to put the spurs to the engine until the pre-determined break in has happened. Perhaps results in comparisons of Ecoboost vehicles would turn out differently if people tested ones with over 1500 miles on them, that aren't being governed anymore.

Gotta love the MPG!

Finally someone who does modified car test. Please keep this a trend tfl. And the explorer is mad fast! But how long can it live with that power?

So e50 now can be run on 2020 explorer with no fuel or injector issues ?

I got a Durango SRT & just love it👍

The stock ST puts up respectable numbers given it's sporting the narrower stock 20 inch tires (255s) vs the wider tires on the stock SRT (295s) & tuned ST (275s). Really show the difference between the weight on the 2 models, nearly 800 lbs on published curb weight between the SRT and ST

Wow, this is so cool! I just bought a 2020 Ford Explorer Limited AWD, but the engine is the four-banger EcoBoost engine twin-turbo that puts out 300 HP and 310 lb-feet of torque. Can someone please tell me if the modifications seen in this video (or similar) can be done to my 4 cylinder Ecoboost/twin-turbo? Also, I love all of the interior and exterior LEDs on the new Explorer. However, the rear amber-colored turn signals are normal light bulbs, not LED. Not sure why Ford would make the whole vehicle look very cool with interior and exterior LEDs everywhere----except the rear turn signals. If anyone knows how I can make the rear amber turn signals into LEDs instead of the regular bulbs that are in there now, I would appreciate any input. Thank you!!!

Wow. That is incredible performance without any mechanical changes. What does that type of tuning do to everyday drivability, reliability, fuel economy? We don't typically drag race our SUVs every day, but we do have to haul family and friends, AND we have to pay the fuel and repair bills.
