I just picked up a new to me 2014 F150 with the 3.5. Anyone recommend a tuner? Or not to tune it? Any advice appreciated.

FWIW I have a 2015 3.5 with 110k miles and the only repair has been the throttle body and the catalytic convertors. Great truck. Tow heavy and often, tons of power for a half ton as is. I've thought of adding power but scared to mess with a good thing.

I have the 87 octane daily driver tune from 5 star, using sct tuner. I had it on for years. I bought my 2013 new and the turbo lag was hard to get use to. The tune woke it up but didn’t hurt or help mpg. I had to take it off for inspection a couple years ago and haven’t put it back on. What I found made the best mpg gain was switching to mid grade gas....be it only .5mpg. My mpg has gone from 16.5 new to 17.3 at about 60k to my current 140k. That is measured. The dash gauge has always inflated mpg by 1 mpg
