That explains it. I figured I'd have seen then in TX if they were available from the dealer. Very nice

Small sample size here with the generic SCT 91 Octane towing tune. This was on the way home tonight just over 17 miles and hardly a flat stretch of road (yeagerb can attest to this) and no less than a dozen stop lights between here and work. You will get stopped at a minimum of 6 of them if you're lucky. 65 mph for 80 percent of the drive. This same exact route last night untuned netted 16.8 mpg. Not bad. The boost is almost instant and as a result is in high gear a lot faster.

I just received my custom tunes via email that I will download to the tuner tonight and install tomorrow night when I leave for work for a back to back test.

Then I will install the 87 octane economy tune to test against the performance/tow tunes.

With the SCT tune, the truck shifts amazing and is always in the right gear. Stock it felt like it was always in between the right gear and constantly searching. Other than coming to a stop, I counted one downshift from 6th to 5th and according to my articulation gauge, it was a 4% grade and the steepest of my route.

The reviews of the 5 star custom tuning is that the shift strategies are even better than sct and mileage is a tad better.

I have to drag my camper back to the storage lot tomorrow so I'll also get to see the power difference towing, but it's only 3 miles away so mileage won't really be accurate.

Same route, but I forgot to reset .10 of a mile sooner. Same speed, same stop lights, same traffic, a little better mileage with the 5 Star 91 Octane Performance / Tow tune. The shifting is even better, and there is definitely more power, but that being said, I really like the SCT canned tunes.

Next up is 5 Star economy 87 octane tune.

That's the factory dash from Ford. 3.5 twin turbo v6.
