Fun read for someone that can’t wait for the new truck
I know we all have different reasons for wanting this truck but for me it’s making me feel young again. I’m hoping to use this truck for all the practicality but also wring out all of the fun out of it that makes me free 18 again. I’m new to Ford. Used to be heavy in the import scene. So this may be common knowledge stuff to some but I didn’t know that the EcoBoost has such good aftermarket.

As with most smallish turbo engines, by far the biggest bang for buck is just a tune. And given that ford has had a factory tune available that keeps warranty in tact for a lot of other Ecoboost...maverick could have 310hp 330lb/ft for what is essentially a 800 dollar dealer option.

How receptive is Ford to modifications? It’s awesome to see they may offer a factory tune. But in the unfortunate event it is not, so they have the ability to see if your eco has been flashed? I am more familiar with Subaru systems and they have a reflash counter that cannnot be overridden. So it is fairly obvious to the technician if anything has been done.

The Ranger tune from Ford was out within the 1st year, when sales were anemic (Rangers were sitting on lots 4-5 months in 2019; that is how long mine was out there...which was why they HEAVILY discounted them at year end!). I would fully expect an official Ford tune for the 2.0, probably early next year

be careful about changing ECU tune if you live in CA. New Smog test requirements beginning next week will fail you if you have anything other than factory tune the vehicle came with.

Just buy a second ECU with stock tune if the tune can't be removed without leaving a trace during smog check. Lol.

E85, fuel rail, injectors, Full intake and cat back. easily get 400lbft 380hp out of it. Reliable HP to.

Eh, I think you'd want to go big turbo if you want to hit 400. That's usually the bottleneck on these 2.0L EcoBoosts on the way to bigger, usable power. However, a simple tune that lifts the torque truncation and livens up throttle mapping can really increase the fun level, even if there's not a big HP gain.

I don't dispute the torque since the turbo will be very quick to spool, but 380whp or even crank is pretty far fetched for what is likely the K03 turbo.

Wait what?!? How does one get this??

I think he is referencing the ford performance tune that is available on the ranger and is fully warrantied. It is about seven hundred bucks. I expect the maverick will have similar treatment.

Do you ask for it at dealer?

This is what they’re talking about for the Ranger. I’d look for something similar from Ford within about a year or so for the Maverick.

Question, is the 2.0 Ecoboost a single or twin turbo setup??? Sorry, new to Fords and I know some Ecoboosts are twin turbo....
