2024 Wildtrak tune

2.7L is a little slower off the line compared to the 2.3L. Shouldn't be a dramatic difference though.

To answer your question, you just have to order the tune directly from Ford Performance. If you are logged into your Ford account during the checkout process, you should see an option to apply your points to the cost. Before you add it to your cart, you have the ability to click a checkbox to add dealer installation, and the part will be shipped directly to the dealer. You can also just ship it to your house and pick whatever dealer or ASE-certified tech you want. (If you go that route, I would shop around and verify labor costs before buying—obviously different shops have different rates.)

Option B is to order directly through your dealer. Most dealers (but not all) allow you to apply FordPass points when buying parts or getting service done. I will say that some dealers don't sell Ford Performance parts though, they just stick to the standard OEM parts catalog, so if your dealer says, "sorry we can't order", don't be terribly surprised.

I personally ordered my tune through a Ford Performance parts reseller (Black Friday sale), and then I took it to my dealer for installation.

Just received a new 2 door wildtrak and only have about 300 miles on it thus far. Been going easy on it keeping rpm low as possible but not nearly as responsive as the 2.3 I had for a loaner with same mileage. I realize there is breakin time but hoping I didn’t make a mistake by going with 2.7 vs 2.3. Regardless my question is I want to do a tune through Ford to keep my warranty and I’d like to use my points on my Ford rewards app. Can somebody tell me how to do this? I can’t see how to do it through the app so should I just go through the dealership and tell them I have points to apply towards it? Thanks

Save your points for something else.
It’s probably cheaper to order from an online store like this. $660 bucks. I loaded myself. Easy. You already lose 2 years and 24 thousand miles off your warranty even after paying someone to do five minutes of work loading program. I really doubt Ford is going void anything unless you have a habit of abusing it. Remember the Broncos CPU has a memory that can be easily dealer accessed for all engine and vehicle historical data.
The tune does remove the nasty throttle delay, probably one of the best features, but there are many other great features. Makes my 2dr Sasquatch behaves better that many so called sports cars.
Good Luck

Thank you this is great information. I’m just wondering if I made the right decision going with the 2.7 vs 2.3. The 2.3 I was given as a loaner (brand new with 150 miles on it) had great acceleration and speed and I assumed the 2.7 would be even better ? Hoping it’s a break in thing but think I need tune regardless

You must have something wrong with your ride. I’ve driven Broncos with both of these engines. In fact the 2.3 was about 400 pounds lighter than the 2.7.
A world of difference in power and drive ability between the two. Like 90 ft/lbs of torque.

Yeah I agree with @extra toasty . Driven both... and the 2.3L feels more responsive to throttle input, but otherwise the 2.7L definitely had more "humph".

I will say there is a pretty big difference between the lighter trims without the Sasquatch package and the heavier trims with the Sasquatch package. The 2.3L Big Bend non-Sas I drove originally felt very "zippy" compared to the 2.7L Badlands Sasquatch. But ya know... several hundred pounds difference between the two and very different tire sizes, so not completely unexpected.

Does the performance tune require 93 premium fuel?

Thinking 91 or higher.

Re read your OP..... it explains why the 2.3 felt better to you..... 🤷‍♂️

You state, you had a loaner 2.3 (not yours) we know what that means.
Then you state that your new 2.7. You have been taken it easy, and driven at low rpms.... for less than 300 miles....

How do you even know its less peppy?

You are exactly right and I’m hoping that this is the case. I had no reservations in putting the pedal to the floor in the loaner and have tried not to exceed 2500 RPMs on the new car after reading Break-in protocol. And I do plan on running 93 octane. The dealerships around me suck but there is one north of me. I’m gonna see if they can do a tune regardless.

Exactly what I was about to say! 😆

I always break 'em in the way I will drive them. No taking it easy for XXX miles or anything like that, and never had any issues.
I also agree with installing the tune yourself. Super easy to do, watch a Youtube video, get it done in 10 minutes.

I just drive the beast out of the gate.

I've had both Broncos, 2.3 non-sas and currently have a 2023 2Dr Wildtrac. Yes, the 2.3 non-sas was zippy off the line and in Sport Mode it was extra zippy. That said, I love my Wildtrac. As Ragnar Kon said it just has that extra "humph"

I did put the Ford tune on mind and immediately noticed a difference, not so much in extra power but the shift points was so much smoother off the line and it just felt more powerful. Sport Mode is definitely more noticable. Tim Bartz @fordvideoguy drove mine at Supercell in TN. He was quite impressed with the Tune. He likened it to driving more like a Raptor. Was glad to get an opinion from someone who has driven all 3, the 2.3 / 2.7 and the Raptor.

Might want to wait till the tune is on sale on the ford accessory website. I did and got at least 20% off. So I would wait for that, usually Ford has some good sales around July 4th holiday. Probably 20%, maybe even 25%. Just have to wait and see, Find a dealer that will install from the Ford Website, might need to ask around.

Yes, have to use the higher octane gas. For me personally I had a dealer install to keep the warranty. I spoke to some at Ford and they said Ford is adamant on warranty's, if it's not installed by a certified tech like a dealer, they will not warranty it.
Have fun in your new Wildtrac!

If you buy it from Ford accessories and have a dealer install it it’s probably going to cost you at least $400 more than the $660 with no tax or installation fee that I showed. Maybe there’s something cheaper. But talk is cheap just like “here say” that “ I spoke with someone and they said”. Ford and their dealers are the ones to decide if warranty work is valid. They can void it for multiple reasons or not. Like I said the CPU doesn’t lie.
Everyone that gets the tune doesn’t abuse the vehicle. Any way you cut it your 5/60 powertrain warranty (at least on paper) is reduced. This is a mild Ford sanctioned tune. I wouldn’t be overly concerned.

Ford accessories has it right now for $850 with 15% off, free ship to dealer. Dealer installation is $112.00. Just need to find a dealer who will install for the $112.00. I got mind off of Ford for 25% off with free ship to dealer, paid with tax $658. Just have to wait for the sale. I live in Central Florida and it was fairly easy to find a good dealer who would install for $112.00. Just need to research. As for the warranty, pretty easy to call Ford Performance and ask them, which is what I did or you can install yourself as you have suggested but if something fails because of the install, Ford has every right not to warranty that part. I am sure the install is easy, but for peace of mind, the $112.00 to install was well worth it.

Doesn't it require you to start using premium gas? Is there really a benefit? I'm curious not trying to hate!

I think it's 91 or higher.

I would not do it for the sole reason being that if you are going to take it off road out in the sticks, a lot of smaller gas stations do not have 91 or higher.

Heck, on my last trip, I had to stop at 2 different small town gas stations that only had 85 and 87.
