2011 Ford F-150 FX4

The newer GMs definitely have that dead spot. My 2005 was very linear (as is DJ's truck - newer but same generation), but I remember driving the rental 2015 Tahoe I had (when the Yukon got smacked by the parking lot "arm") and it was annoyingly dead for the first... 10%? of the travel. Maybe a bit less. Good thing the tune can fix it! Have you made any decisions about tuning the Canyon?

Yeah that's not surprising! It's like a GM hallmark to have terrible TCM tuning and throttle response :lol:

That's kind of where I am at right now. If I go the tune route I've got it narrowed down to Bad News Racing or Livernois, either of those I'd be probably $600+ in with having to purchase the tuner (Diablo, etc.). The Pedal Commander seems to make a bigger impact on the actual throttle application which in turn is causing the transmissions to act more "normal" and eliminating the dead spots, and it's also a lot cheaper ($240ish with a current coupon code). The PC is also just a piece of hardware that is pretty easy to pull out for warranty stuff vs a tune which mfgs have gotten better at finding via flash histories. So yea I haven't figured out which way to go yet...I was kind of waiting for more people to tell me the PC was hot garbage but every single review so far has been stellar. I guess I could start with the PC and also add a tune later!
