Sloooowwww take off

[Sv250]

2020 limited etorque 4wd 3.92 gears. I punch it from a stop and it hesitates for a second then takes off. If i turn traction control off, it makes no difference. I read somewhere about the skid control? I dont have switch for that.

How do i get this pig off its lazy ***? A 2.7l ecoboost embarassed me this morning.

Oh and when it takes off its controlled. Not all out. Tires do not spin. Lazy take off.

Sounds like you need to order yourself a pedal commander.

Agree, and, that 2.7 eco could outrun any almost V8 according to other more leadfoot owners when I was on the F150 forum.

Just ordered the pedal commander. Hopefully that fixes it. Just feels like the computer is not letting it get full throttle on take off. Its fine after 20mph.

That ecoboost is our comoany rental. It is night and day different with traction control off.

Looking for a rematch. I was running him down but ran out of room. Couldnt make up the 3 truck lengths he got right from jump.

Something is off. I can spin mine accidentally if I’m too jumpy...no PC required. And Tow/Haul mode is lots of fun

The PC will make a tremendous amount of difference with throttle response. Post back once you give it a go

What does the tow/haul do?

What does the tow/haul do?

A lot, actually, but the change in shift points wakes things up under acceleration. It also disables stop/start, Eco mode, and Aero mode. I’m not sure if anything is remapped with respect to throttle response. I’m rarely towing, so I only use Tow/Haul when “playing”.

You could just buy a procharger I’m pretty sure that would help

Yeah you could do that. Spend 5k and void every warranty possible. Just to show up that eco boost lol

Yeah

Pedal Commander isn't going to do anything to fix the initial delay between pedal movement and engine response. I also tried a Vitesse and it was the same story. For whatever reason these trucks have a delay. Don't understand why, but a throttle voltage modifier (that's all these overpriced controllers are) is not going to fix that. Probably need a tune.

I'm sorry but I strongly disagree with this statement. If my PC is on anything above sport+ you can nearly spin the tires instantly when you press the pedal.

+1 PC will change it all!

Well pedal commander installed. Just makes the throttle touchy. The bog is gone now on sport 4.

Still slow. It will spin tires if i stall it a bit with tc off. It does what it says. More responsive.

Im not sure why it was acting like tc was on before. Seems pc fixed that.

Still think the eco boost will kick my ****.

Thanks for the before/after report!

The PC isn't going to gain you any extra power. It simply let's you get what the ram has to offer quicker without the delay. The eco boost will beat any stock hemi we have in our trucks without any actual mods to gain more power

 

[lawlavigne]

If you're wanting more out of the truck consider add on's like exhaust system, CAI, larger throttle body, long tube headers, and an unlocked pcm with a tune. That's a good start.

That has nothing to do with DELAY. The only thing a throttle controller can change is sensitivity. Yeah you set it to sport, and now your 10% throttle input jumps to 100% instead. Big whoop. Just floor the pedal yourself next time. It will NOT change the fact it takes about a quarter of a second for the engine to actually start pushing the damn truck, which shouldn't be happening. This is the slowest responding vehicle I've ever driven.
