Any issues with using a pedal commander?

Chilidog · Oct 19, 2022

I'm interested in purchasing one of these but don't want it changing anything that might void my factory warranty. I have done searches on this and do not see that it has caused anybody any problems but I just thought I would ask. Thanks!

What's a pedal commander?

Will not void the warranty. It only changes the throttle signal.

I used one in my former ‘18 and ‘21 trucks. I thought it was a fantastic little device. You have a very wide range of throttle adjustability at your disposal.

It changes the sensitivity of the gas pedal to your liking so it "feels" like you are getting more torque and HP. Look it up on Youtube.

The only thing I would add is when I was using it on my ‘21, I started to get random limp-mode situations. I ended up removing the PC and it never happened again. I chalked it up to a faulty PC. I had used that one for 3+ years. Possible that something went wrong with it.

When I want or need better throttle response, I just switch to sport mode.

I thought Sport Mode was good for the throttle response but never liked the shift points and hanging onto the gears so long. I wanted better throttle response without that.

I never had a PC before now and I think it is worth it.

You can fine tune what setting you feel is best and I believe it makes for a much more enjoyable drive while in normal mode. I never have the need to flip to Sport and happy about that.

I've had my PC in for a couple months and no issues to report so far. I really notice a difference when I jump into our 2022 Stealth Performance Expedition. Although it has the H/O ecoboost, the PC in my 5.0 make it feel much nicer to control and takes the lag out of your pedal.

This is good to hear. Sport mode is great if you want to roar down the highway but most of my driving is city so I prefer normal mode but wish the throttle was more responsive.

Ive had like 4 or 5 PC in various trucks, Grand Cherokee and love them. Sport Mode is great, but stays up to 6th gear. But I have one on my 21 F150 5.0, and wont have a car without again. Just too much better throttle feeling.

I have a 2022, 5.0 with 3.31 gears. Not the quickest off the line in normal mode. Hoping PC will improve this.

You will be able to dial-in exactly the right amount of throttle response that you want. There is a ton of adjustability in the device. All of which, as another poster said, with no change to shift points.
