Any more updates on this for the 2019’s? Those that have purchased, are you still glad you did?

If this does the same thing as the pedal commander, to me it being $120 less is well worth the cost.

I just had the Hypertech version installed this week and I have to say I'm impressed. I have had my truck for 2 months now and I love to drive it especially now that I have the throttle upgrade.

Are these devices essentially souped-up versions of the driver-mode control that the truck already has (touring, sport, off-road, towing)?

I'd rather wait for a tune, although I have heard lots of good things about the pedal commander and the sprint boost. 

 

Not familiar with hypertechs version

You guys know that all it does is change the resistance output of the petal. If you press on the pedal 20% then (it matters on the setting) it send out that you pressed 25%. the vehicle will feel more responsive but in reality it just changes the output of the drive by wire resistance. My numbers are not exact in anyway.

No one will listen but that ok, there are a couple of people online that has verified this is how it works. 

Here is one link:

Wait.... so you’re telling me that it does exactly what it says it does?

Please sight the location for where it states that it does that.

I just looked all over their website and did not find anything about what it actually does except for this , "

Will Pedal Commander cause any additional wear and tear on my car?

No, Pedal Commander only gives you the performance reserved by the manufacturer (which is provided in their engine design). As Pedal Commander will only be switched on when you really need the power (e.g. when you accelerate, Pedal Commander will not function during idle), your car’s mechanical components (engine, clutch, transmission, brakes) are only stressed in line with the technically feasible scope. All protection functions and safety measures of the engine and the vehicle’s ECU are never overridden or switched off. It’s impossible for Pedal Commander to push your vehicle beyond its original safety measures.

They are not stating that it changes the resistance in the output of the pedal assembly. They say that it "Gives you the performance reserved by the manufacturer", If i go full throttle instantly, with or without the pedal commander on a dyno, i am going to put the same numbers and theoretically the same curves should come up.

It basically gives back the feeling of driving back in the days when your pedal was connected to the throttle by a physical cable or mechanical linkage of rods.

I have the Pedal Commander on my 19 AT4 6.2. I also had one on my 16 AT 6.2. Definitely worth the money. I bought 420 hp and I want to feel 420 hp, none of this pedal lag crap! Go buy one and put a smile on your face every time you accelerate!

All the Pedal Commander does is make the pedal more sensitive it doesn't make your truck faster or bring out more power that's in the computer or motor.

    • Thanks to the convenience of Amazon, I was able to get a few things done to the truck today.  I installed Carquest Premium oil and air filters with five quarts of Mobil1 High Mileage 10-30 along with a quart of Pennzoil Platinum 5w-30 I already had.  The latch for the flip up center console lid was broken so I replaced it along with the power mirror switch.  I found my push retainer assortment this morning and reattached the plastic under the bumper and it was only held on with a few screws and retainers.  Then I programmed a new remote keyless entry fob so I can lock my dog in the truck when I take her out with me (I've got to keep the air going for her since it's been in the 100s).  Finally, I ordered some LED interior bulbs and replaced the reading lamps.  The front lights are working fine while one of the back lights only works intermittently and the other not at all.   While under the truck, I found the source of at least one of the noises: the sway bar links need replacing.  I ordered a set of Suspension Dudes links with Code Red bushings.  Never heard of them, but they're made in the USA and have decent reviews.  While making yet another Amazon order, I went ahead and added a set of front tow hooks.  I went with red, since that's the color of the sway bar link and bushings and it should look decent enough on a black and chrome truck.  Speaking of which, it doesn't bug me much, but the passenger side mirror has a chrome cap while the driver side doesn't, so eventually I'll make them match one way or another.  Oh, and I ordered a $20 TPMS reset tool.  No idea if it will do anything for my sensors but it was cheap and will work for the Ford Transit Connect as well.     For tradition's sake, I ordered a new oil change wrench.  I kept the Snap-On 9/16"x15mm GM wrench I bought when I was 18 in the 2006 GMC from the time I bought that truck until the truck was lost.  While I was tempted, there's no need to spend $80 for a new SO wrench, or even $50 with shipping for a used one on Ebay.  I just bought a Duratech 15mm extra-long ratcheting wrench to do the job as needed.  It works, and if I like that wrench enough, I'll buy the set.  
    • The recall is for exactly this issue - those drain holes combined with the limited environmental capability of the tailgate electronics card inside the tailgate were a problem. The “safety issue” was the potential for the tailgate to spontaneously open, but all kinds of tailgate misbehavior can occur from water contamination of that control card.    There is no real fix yet. The initial recall just disabled the tailgate. Later, when parts became available, they would replace bad parts with new parts of the same bad design. My dealer is going nuts because the few times I let them get their hands on my truck, my tailgate is off due to a slide-in camper installation. They really want to cut my tailgate wires, but I won’t give them the chance. I will let them get their dirty hands on it when a real fix (redesign) is available.  My tailgate, which works just fine with sealant plugging the drain holes, will remain safe in a dry storage crate until then.  
    • Yes your absolutely right, I been looking at the 4 inch BDS one and it acutely states you can use the stock 20’s just not the 17’s or 18’s, I also didn’t realize that with my 275/60r20 stock wheels I’m already running 33 inch diameter wheel setup lol so I can just run my stock wheels and tires atleast to start.
    • I would expect that to be lift-kit dependent.  If the kit has interference issues w stock wheels, then the kit/manufacturer should indicate that somewhere.
    • That’s what I’m wondering is if the stock backspacing of the factory wheels will clear new upper control arms and such
