Highest mileage tuned

[ShawnP86]

Wanting to get my 2025 tuned.. Just trying to get an idea of how long these last tuned.. obviously with regular oil changes and maintenance done

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.

120k+ tuned primarily on E50

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.

Yep^^^

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

Luke has almost 140,000 miles on his 3.0L Explorer, in the 10s on stock turbos/trans, still kicking.

This car has a TON of idle time on it too

133k. Livernois tune off the lot to 60k then swapped to ZFG. Been beating the crap out of this car and she’s still going. Full bolt on, stock trans/turbo. Routine maintenance and staying ahead of the random noises and you’ll be good

From my reading, I get they all have problems (Look at Chevy and Yota's engine replacement), but the 2.7/3.0 are pretty durable engines. And the 10R had some design issues in the beginning, but overall it's a pretty good transmission.

And from my reading, while tuned and parted up, it may exceed the tq ratings, that tq rating is full load (towing), which is why if you just run it tuned and don't romp under full rated weight, it should hold. Plus whatever fidge factor is built into the 10R60 numbers. Guys are running whippled Coyotes and 10R80's common place now.

And as we’ve discussed before, he bought it with most of those miles on it. He doesn’t have that many tuned miles on the car no matter how good it is running.
