Ford tune just got updated to 2023 models
- Thread starter fabianvs
- Start date
As stated prior there are a few people running. Super happy with it considering the 'feel' is going to change with shifting etc. Bang for the buck to keep factory warranty intact its solid for the price. If you're looking for real power just an intercooler and tune from many tuners mentioned on here you'll do considerably higher power gains for consistent daily drivability and fun.

Yes I'm runing it on my 2021 and am very happy with it, if you follow the other thread you will see others too. This is my wife's daily driver and being a former CA smog tech I don't want to deal with the headaches of changing back to stock for an inspection every two years. For what we do this is perfect, better throttle response and little more power is all I was asking. If I live in another state where 93 octane was more available the ZFG is the way to go, but this tune makes it much more fun to drive!
I was referring to official page of Ford.

It's only 49 states legal and one of the bullet points says not available for MY22 and 23.
There are ways in which you can get it, but if you are looking to keep your factory warranty, then it's not backed officially. You might as well get any other tune you need.
PS: I'm also new to this and I might be wrong as well.
PPS: being from CA, I am in the same boat as you are.

its a computer downloaded tune dont worry about smog. just put it back tp stock tune a week before you have to goto smog. if the ST in new thats 5 years from now if used thats still2. Warranty that a whole different thing that I have my opinion on but thats it just my opinion I think your looking for facts.

I'm waiting for approval in CA for my 22 
. I don't have the technical expertise to do the mod myself, and I doubt the Ford dealer in SoCal will install and uninstall before those smogs as @bluesnake01 mentioned

I never looked but I would almost guarantee someone made a you-tube video of installing the tune. Again I never looked but id also assume the tuner has directions.
If you really wanted it you would/could do it.
I do have a question why isnt this CARB approved? are they just waiting in line to get approved? If not CARB approved you might as well get a real tune from one of the many tuners around they will walk you thru the steps. The last mail order tune I had the SCT device was real real easy and I am not computer smart at all If I can do it anyone can.
