I ordered my Pedal Commander today. Had one in each of my 15 Mustang GT, and my 17 Ram 1500. Great inexpensive throttle response upgrade.

Just got my 2-door base this past Fri. I’m going to give the truck a few months to learn my foot, but I’m all but decided to get this too.
Please let us know how it performs with the Bronco vs your other vehicles.

Yes sport mode is pretty satisfying, but I'm interested in what the PC can do in sport. Been very satisfied with in my other applications.

I’m still heavily debating this. Please let us know your thoughts

Put one in 0n my 2.3L. It’s a huge difference. Feels more responsive on the Bronco.
Installed one on my 2.7. First I set it to Sport 4, pretty much too hard to drive. I dropped it to Sport 2, still a little jumpy when you step on the gas, but a lot of fun!
Except for getting used to the gas pedal, none that I see. Mine is an automatic.

There is no downsides from my multiple applications. This does not communicate with the ecu. It is not a tune, it is simply a signal loop created by unplugging your oem throttle pedal pigtail, replugging it into one side of the Pedal Commander and plugging the other side of the Pedal Commander into the pedal. Just like the G.O.A.T. selector, you can go from normal to eco to sport, sport+4. All it does is take the lag response out of your throttle response, creating instant response. Actually saved me fuel in my Ram 1500. 15 GT not so much as I have a heavy foot most of the time.

Well I got the pedal commander in the mail today. I installed and took it for a quick ride. I started out with the Bronco in sport mode and the pedal commander in sport+2, went to take off in my driveway and chirped the 37 tires. Kinda caught me by surprise. With the Bronco in sport mode and the PC in sport+ +2 it was a beast. I put the Bronco in sport mode and the PC in sport 2 and it responded very nicely with no hesitation at all. I'll try different modes later to find the perfect match between the two in town driving. When I'm towing my boat Mon-Fri I'll have to put the Bronco in normal and find the right combination for towing. Definitely do not want both in sport or I create havoc on my rear gear.
I knew what I was buying like I said before, I had this PC in my 15 GT and my 17 Ram. But the Bronco's response after driving it 3,500 miles since new and now with the PC both in sport mode makes me feel like I'm driving a beast for the first time. Also the good thing about using the Pedal Commander is if I have to go to dealer for any maintenance or repairs, I don't have to disconnect it. As the PC does not communicate with the ECM or any other part of the main system. It does not void any warranties.

Update after install and testing it out in all modes.
I immediately started out in G.O.A.T. mode sport and the PC in Sport +/+4. I chirped the tires in the driveway leaving, wasn't intended. I drove around the block and realized that was not going to work. Every time I went to take off or accelerate it immediately hit high RPM'S and was too fast responding. So after playing around with it a whole day I found that the best response zone was G.O.A.T. in normal mode and PC in Sport+/+4. Too much fun, turning right or left from a stop tires still want to break loose. But the RPM range is perfect and the response is terrific.

Just an update, after a few months of the pedal commander, I've been very satisfied with G.O.A.T. mode in normal and PC at Sport +2. It works very well at daily driving and towing my boat daily. Acceleration stopped at a light and acceleration at speed is most effective for my driving.

Quick question in regards to these: do they just adjust pedal sensitivity, as in moving the pedal .25" is the same as moving it .5" without it? Or does it actually get rid of the delay between my foot moving the pedal and the computer moving the throttle body?
I recently had an experience where I had to get in the throttle to merge, then got cut off and had to get on the brakes. The delay between pedal and throttle body was long enough that it stayed in the throttle even after I was on the brakes, which was scary as shit. This is my first drive-by-wire vehicle, and the delay between moving my foot and the Bronco reacting is REALLY hard to get used to.
