Check out this thing. Never heard of this before but since you asked about canned tuners here is another option and only $300.

I'm looking into tuners to mostly improve throttle response and get more grunt for towing, especially when merging. If I can pick up a few MPG's in the process I won't complain.
i think im calling TP this week. im gonna switch and then probably sell the edge.
i will say that the edge did drastically improve throttle response and mid range power, as well as WOT acceleration. i was very impressed. but i do so much highway for ranch trips and hunting, and i just cant take the droning.

Newb here, from Winnipeg no less. Anyways, if you decide to go with an Xcal2, go see Matt Kozminski at Keystone Ford. They do tuning for Mustangs and Focus's. I don't know about F150's, because the topic hasn't come up, but, I'm sure he could set you up.

Those two criteria should be well down the list; after Quality and Safe & sustainable gains, after-sale customer service, experience, reputation....
Actually, strike that - those two should not even make the list... we are not talking an off-the-rack-one-size-fits-all kinda product, but a crafted one. And true craftmanship should not be rushed, nor is it usually the cheapest.
