Sport was a little wonky in this thing before tune, and was in both my Edge ST's. On the tune, it actually made Sport hit pretty hard, but I've worked with ZFG to get the shifts eased up, and Sport is coming along nicely. So yes, you can get the shifts tweaked to your liking with a tune. The...

I "think" this is the 8th car Ive tuned. By far the best experience Ive ever had. The ST is what I wanted, a comfy cruiser that will haul some ass. I have a buddy with a Track Hawk that will flat-out fly, and he just bought an Audi RS Q8. He loves explorers lol and kinda got me into them. I'm...

Just an update: after about 220 miles of mixed driving, the 1–2 and 2–3 shifts in Sport mode are about where I personally want them. You can still tell it’s in Sport by the shift feel, but it’s less of a slam. The 3–4 shift feels very good, but the 4–5 has a strange hit that’s noticeably harder...

Both of the features on mine have worked fine. It makes me wonder if it's mechanical or module-related. I use active cruise with stop and go EVERY day M-F on my commute. And Blue Cruise has been great when I get to use it (few times a quarter).

New one.

I mean, I guess. Never thought to use the RTD.

I think it's in "about", there is an area to software. But I'm not sure what that says. I look at it through my Ford App. If you use the app, it will tell you there is a SW update available. The screen in the car will too.

The last update for the Ford Experience was TCU-25.2.8.5, SW Update 11, on Jan 19 2026.

I'll have to check with Adam at ZFG when I submit my next 3rd gear romp and 0-60 run and see what he is seeing. I'm running 1/2qt over fill.

Yeah, it's my first actual tune like this; they've all been "shelf" tunes, which were fire and forget. Did not even think about asking for changes. it seems to be learning well, and the hard shifts under "normal driving" in Sport are gone. May need to tweak 4 and 5, but I'm gonna put some miles...

More grip mainly, and a better look.

This always amazed me with “performance” vehicles. Saw it in the mustang forum too. You bought a performance vehicle and people hand wring about not running the highest octane you can get to get the most HP you can. I’ll never understand it.

My first 2 months with it, it was like half a shot glass. I think I moved the interval to 4 months. Will be curious to see what it accumulates.

1-2 and 2-3 are less aggressive now. Still a bump, but I think this will be better for a DD. Might need to tone down 3-4. Uploaded, warmed up and did a couple of 0-60 runs. Crazy how this thing spins tires in the 1-2 at full send with TC off. I'm going to drive it for a week in nothing but...
