for Ford F150 2011-2026 Throttle Response Controller

This review is based on my use of this with a 2016 F150 XLT 4x4 with the 5.0 V8. First of all, it is very easy to install. However, when you're taking the wire harness off the truck's pedal controller, there's a tab that you lift up first, then a tab inside the connector that you push inward (sideways) then lift off the controller. Knowing that first will reduce some frustration. Anyway, on to the review: To establish a baseline, my truck does have a performance tune from More Power Tuning's SCT+ tuner. It's got a catback custom off road exhaust where I used two Magnaflow mufflers in line. It's quiet, meaning you can't really hear it idling, but if you get on the pedal it sounds like a truck. It has a CAI from S&B. Everything else performance wise is stock. I ran the cable in between the dash and steering column for a neat, clean look. First start out of the garage, I decided to go for the gusto with Sport+4. I didn't think think this controller was going to make a huge difference. Boy, was I wrong! With the first step on the gas I realized that I was probably going to be turning it down a bit. If you have this truck, you know it has "Sport" mode on the shifter. This Pedal Commander unit totally replaces that button on the shifter. Its not that you can't use it, but it's overkill to the point of impeding drivability. I will likely reserve the truck's stock sport mode to when the Pedal Commander is turned off. In other words, when my wife drives the truck ;) This unit makes the truck quicker due to no lag in the throttle response,Which is essentially what the truck's stock sport mode does, only this unit can do it much more aggressively or much less aggressively, depending on how you set it up. I find that for me, the Pedal Commander sport mode (vs sport+) makes for more controlability. Probably Sport level 2-4 for most driving. For congested driving, I'd definitely turn it down to "City" or just off altogether (Wife mode). I like the fact that you can switch it up on the fly, unlike my performance tune. I haven't had much time other than that to horse around with it, but I can see this thing being a whole lot of fun! Here's a picture of my install. Update after about a month : I still love this gadget. Was even thinking of getting one for my work truck, but $300 is a little steep. I find though that for the best control (power vs drivabilty) the Sport mode level 2 is best all around. I have stock tires though. With bigger tires, you might kick it up a notch or two past that. Also just as cool is that if you actually can manage to not have a lead foot (tough, i know) you can use this thing to save gas quite a bit because you just barely have to touch the pedal to get going. I can't imagine not having this thing now. It's a ton of fun!

In the interests of full disclosure, it should be noted that I purchased the Pedal Commander ("P.C.") directly from pedalcommander.com. Given the company is within reasonable driving time from our home, I thought it was a safe bet buying directly from the company. I had a few questions about the P.C. and subsequently had a web chat session with Larry, their sales manager. I told Larry that I was considering the PedalMAX, but learned "PedalMAX is made in China, whereas the P.C. is made in the USA." I don't know about you, but I'm growing tired of buying Chinese-made products! Minutes following my web chat session with Larry, I pulled the trigger and made the purchase. The P.C. arrived within 24-hrs. of my consummating the order. Larry even offered to install the P.C. at no added cost; I politely declined, yet I reserved the offer just in case. Larry even tossed in a pretty cool t-shirt, although it appears the t-shirt is part of the purchase. In all, customer service certainly exceeded my expectations. For starters, the P.C. in no way increases H.P. For some reason, naysayers are of the impression these types of devices increase HP. Nope. What it accomplishes, though (and does so flawlessly), is thr elimination of lag time from when the pedal is depressed...throttle response is noticeably abrupt and our Flex now jumps off the line! Merging onto the freeway, and passing cars from lane-to-lane, is an absolute enjoyment. It took me 20-mins. of trial and error to determine that "Sport Mode +3" yielded a whole new degree of driving agility. I'm very much impressed with the Flex's (new and) improved driving characteristics. The device itself, while diminutive in nature, has a good feel to it, and the control module's buttons are responsive to touch. Once I figured out how to remove the accelerator's OEM's connector, total install time took less than 2-mins. I thought the K&N C.A.I. (which, incidentally, added 13 H.P. to the engine, now for a total 300 H.P.) gave our naturally aspirated V-6 new life, but the obvious performance gain (again, not in terms of H.P.) with the P.C. was well worth the investment. Next, is the installation of the Livernois tuner kit. The folks at Livernois tell me, "you'll see gains of over 31 H.P. and torque will increase by 44 ft.-lbs." At this point, we're at Ecoboost levels, but at a fraction of the cost. Pavlovian! PART I Update (3/7/17): folks, the P.C. is no joke. If one really did not know how to "drive," I can see, given the abrupt boost in acceleration and torque (most profound at 3200 RPM), how easy it would be for one to lose control of their car. Our Flex, which has 20" performance tires, now drives like a sports car. I know what you're thinking, "What, a Flex driving like a sports car? Yeah right!" Quite honestly, the P.C. (in tandem with the K&N C.A.I.) have unlocked the V-6's true potential. I really am having a blast driving the Flex around town. And now, I really can't wait to install the Livernois tuner kit. Another thing on my wish list is the addition of a MagnaFlow exhaust kit. PART II: according to the on-board computer, baseline MPG declined by 1.23 using the P.C. This baseline decline may be attributed to the thrill of pushing the envelope and establishing the initial device settings. With the next fill up, I will report back MPGs. However, the Flex's current config is still +3.77 MPG over the stock engine.

I decided to update my 2012, Lariat F150 because I had it for a few years & I’m probably gonna keep it. After adding a Roush Cold Air Intake & Exhaust system? I added this little device & THIS THING MADE SUCH A DIFFERENCE! The throttle response is completely different & I had to get used to it because it felt like I was driving a completely different truck. I started off in Sports 2 going down some back country roads & immediately had to switch it to City 2 because its response was too touchy. When I’m on the highway or on open roads? I plan on switching it to Sports. Or maybe even if that Raptor from the other night wants to get burnt again? It’ll be much easier than it was before, but this thing is awesome. I mounted mine on the right side coming directly outta the steering column so you can barely notice it. It also comes with a downloadable app which allows you to change the settings, brightness of the LEDs on the device & control the settings from your phone. The hardest part about the install was getting the protective plastic off the Velcro it came with. I would strongly suggest to watch a video or follow the instruction it comes with. If you don’t allow your vehicle to go completely off, or to sleep? You could get a check engine light when you start it back up. So make sure you open the door, push the lock in, & wait 15min before unplugging your harness & installing this. But Besides that? I couldn’t be happier with this purchase. Yeah I wish it was cheaper, but it was definitely worth it. I wanted to get The Throttle Monster but after doing a bunch of research? I felt more comfortable with this because it’s not hooked up to my trucks EPU 24/7. Plus, you would have to buy a splitter if you wanna hook up a tuner which I plan on doing later. It’s small, sleek, & makes your truck feel much more powerful even though you’re technically not adding Horse Power. I would definitely recommend this to any of my friends if they didn’t mind spending the extra money on making their truck move faster. Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!

I have had this for about a week and this does not disappoint! If you are thinking about it, just buy it. It is worth every penny. The hardest part of the installation is figuring out where to put the module at. Install was 10 minutes easy peasy. I have a Ford Superduty with the 7.3L gasser. This thing woke up the beast within. I can't use the sport + on pavement, I would imagine when I go to the dunes or off roading that mode would be a great help but not good on pavement. I use the the regular sport mode and what a difference. You don't have to mash the pedal, you just step on the pedal easy and steady and she takes off with no lag. On the expressway same thing. I know someone with the Pedal Monster and when I asked how he liked it he said "its ok". So I went with the Pedal Commander. It will take a bit to learn how to drive it to get consistent results.

Ive been using this for a month now ans love it. In my 3.5 eco I get 20plus mpg on highway in eco mode. My turbo lag is gone at stops and overall its been a great purchase especially when I was hesitant on the price.

Just installed this on my 2012 Ford Edge! I ended up installing it on the left side of the steering wheel base trim (or whatever they call it) as it was a little hard to stick to the textured main dash trim. Ran the wire behind the trim to the bottom and then to the right to the gas pedal. Anyways, easy to install and get going! Boy, love all the levels of sensitivity. Sport mode feels like a bit too much for me for the daily drive, but City mode +2 seems like my sweet spot for now. Maybe that will change as I get used to it. Have to add that I just did a tune through unleashed tuning as well. This just completes the setup. Will update this after more time with it, but for now I love it. Pro-tip: Plan out wether you want to use the hardware control or use the App through Bluetooth. If the former, you can hide it away or tuck it away somewhere since you'll have the app to control the settings. Make sure to get the code behind it if doing this. You'll need it for the app. I found this out late as I used adhesive strips to directly mount the commander instead of using the included bracket. I'd have to unstick the commander to get the code at this point. Anyways, I put it somewhere so I can change the settings easily. Works great and you can really custom tailor your ideal sensitivity with this. All cars need this! **UPDATE 9 Months later: Well, it was all good until now. THIS MAY CAUSE ISSUES DOWN THE ROAD. My wife called me one day saying throttle response lowered incredibly and AWD turn off. Scared me to think I had an unseen PTU leak or something. Upon reading codes right away, I was getting a series of errors from throttle position sensor to accelerator position sensor. Check my throttle body sensor, made sure MAF was good and all, noted and then cleared codes everything worked again for 5 or so days. Then it happened again. This time, more specific to one of the accelerator pedal sensors. Opened up Forscan again and checked data on the sensors—one was not working and I was getting an error on the system for that reason (the computer then averages the two remaining sensors to throttle input I believe). ANYWAYS, long story short, decided it could be the Pedal Commander and unplugged it all two weeks ago. Everything has been dandy since. Seems like a hit or miss thing on models, perhaps? Debating on selling the one on my Fusion that works currently....

Installation is straight forward and relatively easy. I did not download and install the iPhone app so cannot comment on how that works. Additionally, I didn't want to add another application to mess with on the iPhone and did not want to pay the monthly fee to use the app. Additionally, paying the fee would require that I enter personal information. My information is on many locations - i don't need another entity to have it The various driving modes provided with the Pedal Commander improved the throttle response of my truck to an extent. However, when I compared the modes available with the Pedal Commander with the various driving modes that are available on the truck in stock configuration (2021 F-150), the change is not significant enough to justify the cost of the Pedal Commander. If I did not have the option to change driving characteristics in stock configuration, I would seriously consider this device.

I bought my 2018 F150 new my only gripe with my truck was the engine hesitation when pulling into traffic until I purchased the PEDAL COMMANDER now I have no problem with pulling into traffic it was not lack of horsepower it was lack of gas pedal power. I'm truly pleased with this product.

Realmente funciona me pareció una excelente adquisición, muy facil de instalar, yo lo coloque en una Ford Lobo Platinum 2019

En una ford ranger wildtrack 2017 se nota mucho, la verdad es que funciona a la perfección. Yo que voy cargado siempre con una célula, se nota mucha más potencia de arranque. Eso sí, tu e ue pagar gastos aduaneros porque viene desde ESTADOS UNIDOS.

The best thing ever I bought for my Ford Ranger Wildtrak 2017 UK model. The truck now goes zero to hero in no time. I have plugged it in myself 3 months ago and works perfectly. I have taken the truck to Ford for the usual service and unplugged it before arrival, they handed the truck back to me with no comment at all. I have plugged it in again and using it all the time. I didn’t notice any fuel increase as am using it on city mode all the time. I found that the sport mode is too sensitive for everyday use. Very happy with it, it’s like having steroids injected into my truck.

Einbau einfach Beschreibung wie man das Eco Programm einschalten fehlt wurde aber schnell über Mail erklärt. Bluetooth funktioniert. Test mit Wohnwagen Super und spart am Sprit 👍

This makes a huge difference in drivability. I leave mine in Sport mode, but it really wakes the truck up. I would buy one for any vehicle I purchase going forward. Well worth the money.
