I did a search and most E85 threads here deal with gen2 and goosetune. I tried chatting with Ford Performance and "Tom" had no idea, saying they only deal in parts....great.

The manual doesn't say chit, so the question is, can you use E85 and why would you want to? I have seen rumors that say the Raptor likes it, produces more power and runs smoother but no actual experience.

It would be an ordeal for me to try it. None available in my area and I would have to purchase a 55 gallon drum from a distributor.

You could go with a E50 tune. Mixing E85 and 93, saved me from buying injectors. Not difficult and it'll help that 55 gallon drum of E85 last longer. I mix 8 or 16 gallons of E85 with 7 or 14 gallons of 93. Truck runs like a ***** ape. If you look up older treads (gen 2) some state the power gains from E50 to full E85 were extremely small.

Yup. Even with my JB4 tune on my 23’….e50 is pretty darn fast.
