i havent drank the pedal commander koolaid yet. i think all its doing is upping voltage and tricking the system into thinking you are stepping on the pedal harder than you are.

thats a lot of money for something i can control without having to buy anything. you can scoot your pedals closer to your foot and see some differences lol.

You'd think that would be the case, but something about the PC makes my trans kickdown faster, which for me is well worth the price.

Pretty sure the trans is seeing the increased throttle input and kicking down, it's just taking less pedal to get that same input now. in Sport ++4 basically 10-15% pedal travel translates to WOT. My issue is the transmission won't hold that lower gear long enough to realize the benefit of that. Putting it in ORM or T/H mode holds the gears and makes it WAY more fun.

I basically set mine at City +3 and leave it there.

I find it hunts less is more fun to drive around town and kicks down gears when expected which sounds great when rolling up to lights.

Went to ford and they ordered a new Evap, blower, fans, temp....now I get to wait for it to come in so I can spend $2100 on getting it fixed. I need to find the return vent/s when ac is in recirculating mode so I can put a screen to block out my dog's hair.

This is indeed the best setup I've tried. Lots of fun to drive this way.

dont get me wrong i bet it is, but knowing what its doing is just not appealing to me for some reason.

you just bought the truck, get some seat time and read threads regarding pedal commander. the other hardcore non believers have become worshipers. it will become appealing when you try it.
keep it in mind for a future mod.

whats the mileage like with this? im currently cruising 13.4mpg in town consistently.
if your mileage is 13.4 it means that your truck can not get out of its own way. in other words its a slug. 11.3 is what I get with PC and SVC tune. the truck runs amazing.
