Hey y'all. I have a platinum explorer that I absolutely love. The only thing is wanna know is if there is a way that I can reflash or retune the ECU to the stock ST tune. As far as I know, all the hardware is identical in both cars but the Platinum is downtuned 35hp. So I'm interested in seeing if I can get the stock ST "tune" on my platinum. Maybe I'm misunderstanding something. Let me know.

There is no way you could. Why not just get a custom tune from ZFG? Also, Platinum has a different final drive ratio which takes a toll on speed.

Im curious, has anyone actually dyno tested the Platinum or actually seen the stock tune to be different vs the ST?

Just seems a lil fishy on Ford's part to make two totally different tunes only for it to revert to the same tune in 2022 for all three trims.
