Most (if not all) that have it seem happy with it.

I don't believe there are mixed reviews from people that have installed the tune. Everyone that has installed the tune seems to really like it.
The debate is over which is better: FP or (insert other tuner here)?
Automatic or manual?
coke or pepsi?
They're all the same endless argument as far as I am concerned.
I would get the FP tune in a heartbeat, but my wife drives the Explorer 99% of the time and she doesn't want it, so why waste the money on ANY tune. I will likely tune my 3.5 F-150 though

When the ford tune is installed is it just one tune that renders the drive modes useless? Or does it just impact sport mode?
In a perfect word I would like a tune that increases sport mode, don't care if it takes 93 to run decent. But I want it to revert to normal for better MPG as this is my wife's car and she couldn't give a shit about a tune. Does such a thing exist?
I've had 2 diesel trucks and they have been tuned and deleted. Once the tune was installed it was as simple as hitting an arrow on the programer to change between tunes. This was before "drive modes" it would be awesome if the individual drive modes could change to tbe performance tune and back to stock or a better MPG tune.

I don’t have the tune yet but all modes should still be available. Just like current factory tune, each mode has its own characteristics. I heard it does make normal mode even more aggressive. Which is a good thing imo. But I would imagine eco mode is still good for casual driving and going for best mpgs.
Between the tuning reflash and bump of power, yes, it is noticeable. We actually have them on sale for $599 (ends in a few hours... but I can get this done for you tomorrow, too, if you're interested).

They've been gathering more and more popularity, especially for those looking to go on a "safer" route as the Ford Performance tune can be carried with proper install.
