Caught this article today. Looks like a similar but different model to be employed by Ford.

Easy

Easy way to keep the horsepower crown. Limit the dealers enough that warranty cost is minimal. ******, but fair

Edit to add s l e a z y? Really?

I'm offended by your language

About time, good find.

My take is that FCA is limiting dealers to those with a very proven service department (which is a very good thing), not unlike Ford Techs who have the Certs to work on FGTs.

FCA / Dodge has a long-standing precedence here for decades with their Certified Viper Techs, those are the only guys (and only at one dealership 1500 miles from home) who have ever touched mine..

Again, just MHO, if Ford would give us a tune from 450-510 to 525/600 (which we all know is very doable and safe) that did not void the warranty, almost all of us would be all over it...

That's a typical muscle car reaction but more isn't always better. Getting that power to the ground is especially difficult offroad. I'm still taking the Gen3 because as mentioned before it's a balanced truck you can use as a daily and offroad with braking the bank or driveline etc.

And still nothing from Ford Performance for the Ecoboost? Not even a tune...or how about a decent sounding exhaust. No Love, should have kept my 12'!

Speaking of TRXs. What does this mean for the 2024 TRX? And why would Ford release an R, with an ICE, when it's main competitor may be an EV?
