There’s one on here over 100k tuned. Didn’t concern me when I tuned after picking it up. If you are constantly racing, it might be an issue. If occasionally frisky at stop lights, no worries imo.

If you go with ZFG or Goose, just tell them you're looking for a daily driver. I submitted my stuff to ZFG this morning. I always use 93 octane in EcoBoosts, so I told them I want a 93 tune, daily driver setup, no drag racing or crazy mods, and I want to see the transmission gear selector all the time. Just reliable, better transmission tuning, and more horsepower and torque. Also, no towing planned.

If you want a really safe tune, just wait for Ford Performance; it probably has half the power but still has some juice. I don't worry about these motors anyway, on a tune. Transmission? It's always a point that COULD let you down. I'm also a 3-4 year person who trades vehicles, about 10k miles a year. So tunes usually aren’t an issue for me anyway. If it fails in the first 40-50k miles, and you don't drag race it, it was gonna fail anyway IMO.

Depends how to treat it and how often you use the additional power. Typically plugs, engine/tranny/diff mounts/bushings will wear faster for example. Install supporting mods (Intercooler, colder plugs, diff brace) and limit launching the vehicle and you can expect a good life out of it. IMO launches are a good way to shorten the life of the drivetrain.

Shorten factory service recommendations as well. Change fluids prior to Ford's recommendation and that also goes for plugs.

Im at 107k miles. Been running the ZFG E50 tune. No issues. Stay vigilant on routine maintenance and you'll be just fine.
