Ford F-150 3.5L EcoBoost V6 Gets Tuning Support From Cobb

December 19, 2022 8:36 am

Cobb has been making and selling tunes for a variety of vehicles for years now, a list that most recently grew to include the 2022 Ford Mustang equipped with the turbocharged Ford 2.3L I-4 EcoBoost powerplant. Now, that company has added yet another Blue Oval model to its list of supported vehicles – 2021-2022 Ford F-150 pickups equipped with the twin-turbocharged Ford 3.5L V6 EcoBoost engine, which can get a big boost from a newly available tune.

As is the case with many Cobb tunes, this Ford F-150 upgrade consists of revised ECU and transmission tuning calibrations that have been loaded on an Accessport handheld device V3 for easy installation. Simply plug it into the vehicle, follow the prompts, and unlock a considerable amount of power.

Results vary depending on the type of fuel one uses, but these tunes can unlock up to 43 horsepower and 57 pound-feet of torque, at the wheels – more than 20 percent higher than the truck’s stock ratings – for the stage 1 kit. The stage 2 upgrade bumps those gains up to 52 horsepower and 71 pound-feet of torque, while a special towing calibration is also available. In terms of transmission calibrations, owners can choose from several, ranging from a stock F-150 Raptor tune to an OEM+ and Sport settings.

Since this new Ford F-150 Cobb tune has a California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Order (EO) number, it’s legal for sale and use on Emissions Controlled Vehicles in all 50 states, though customers can also add their own custom tunes as well. The tuner itself can be mounted inside the cabin in a variety of ways if the owner wants to be able to change settings on the fly, to boot. Cobb’s new 2021-2022 Ford F-150 tuner is available now for the retail price of $825, and is compatible with all 3.5L V6 EcoBoost powered models, except for the PowerBoost hybrid.
