2026 Explorer ST
#1
So I have had my 2026 ST for a few months now--I wanted to make sure everything was running smoothly for a while before I put a tune on there. The stock tune for the 26 Explorer is great. Shifting is smooth and refined. The skip gear shifting that came with my 2020 ST is gone. I loved my Livernois tune for my 2020 ST so it was a no-brainer to me to go with them again. I also detest the auto-start-stop and was unable to disable that via Forscan so it gave me added incentive to get a tune. The negatives? My old MyCalibrator device was too old (purchased 8/2020) to use with the 2025+ Livernois tune. Also the 2025+ tune is now $699 (vs. $599 for 2020-2024). The positives? I got my tune in two business days and it's just like my old 2020 ST tune: appreciable power gains, auto-start-stop disabled, gear shown always, firm shifting. Currently, there is no tow tune so you get one performance tune and that's it--Livernois tells me they will offer a tow tune at some point. I also saw a facebook post saying the tuner can delete FENG for a small fee. Since I have been unable to disable FENG through Forscan, I decided to give it a try. Well, it didn't work so I got my money back from them. They said they will continue working on it but I wouldn't recommend trying for now.

If someone around NE Ohio wants my old MyCal device for free for their 2020-2024, you can DM me. Supposedly, Livernois has upped the fee to $400 to reset the VIN# and download tunes, unfortunately--so it may not be worth it.

The Livernois I had on my Edge ST was great. 2.7L was quick.

Glad to hear its going well. I told myself to wait at least a year to make sure there are no obvious signs of any issues before doing IC and tune. Figure I'll do suspension exhaust first and then see how its going.
