So I think potentially voiding your warranty is kind of a big deal, so I wouldn't qualify a tune as having nearly zero downside, like Brett did. But it is interesting to see the guys from Fast Lane Truck experiment with it. Have you tuned your F-150? Would you consider it?

 

If you are going to consider it, get an exhaust too and then you too can blow the doors off of the Hellcats.

 

Ha ha! This video is awesome! Thanks for posting!

 

That is interesting. Amazing what these newer vehicles can do, even without tuning.

My '07 F150 and Compass feel like slugs compared to these new vehicles.

I just put on about 600 miles on a fully loaded Ford Transit van and that thing had some scoot to it. It was only the v6 model too.

 

Did you see you can get a 3.5 Ecoboost in a Transit?

 

Yep. The rental I had was only the v6 model.

Would've like to try the with the same payload to see the difference.

 

You mean the NA 3.7 V6? It's also available with a 3.2 I5 diesel.

 

Yes, the 3.7l v6.

I wonder how the diesel drives. The v6 seemed a little bit high revving. But it still did it's job.

 

Yes, you have to wind up the 3.7 like a cheap watch to get it to move. I think the redline is around 7 grand. HP is 275 @ 6k, torque is 260 @ 4k.

 

Makes sense. It liked staying in the 3-4.5k upshift range on mild inclines. Was a little more noisy because it was higher revving than I'm used to.

It does drive a lot better than the Econoline, other than the noisy high revving part.
