The speed limiter built into the Ford F-150 is a safety feature meant to ensure safe driving. Some vehicle owners have been able to remove this limiter using specialized software chips created for adjusting the truck's technical settings. These "tuner" chips can be purchased from third-party sources, but they are often seen as too expensive, costing nearly $9,000. The diagnostic tools needed for installation and programming are also pricey, typically ranging from $450 to $500. The limiter technology is commonly designed with "adjustable" or "intelligent" software, with "intelligent" limiters capable of monitoring speed limits and regulating the engine's fuel and air intake accordingly. The European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) has stated that speed limiters could potentially save over 25,000 lives in the next 15 years and reduce collision rates by 30 percent.
Watching this video will demonstrate that it is entirely feasible. I can attest that this method is effective on my 2019 F-150 3.5 EcoBoost. Previously, my truck would only reach a maximum speed of 170kph, but now I have been able to take it up to 244kph. No changes were made to the vehicle except for the tuning.
I bought a tuner and tried removing the speed limiter to reach 125mph, but it's stuck at 107mph regardless of what I do.
How can I disable the speed limiter on a Ford F-150 with the V6 3.5L engine?
Where can I buy a tuner?
By attaching an available tuner add-on, you can effectively eliminate the speed restriction on the F-150 with a simple installation.
To remove the speed limiter on a Ford F-150, you must use an electric tuner, although it is not possible to eliminate the rev limiter.
I haven't managed to do it so far.
