MPT Gen 3 5.0 Alpha Tune

Mike tuned my 2020 F-150 5.0 as a favor at that time they did not offer any support for the gen 3 to the public he said he take a look at my file and he said he could tune it and we I did and he brought my truck to life after several data logs and modifications it was leaps and bounds better than a few other tunes I had from other tuners. Mike went on this journey with me while I built my truck and he tuned into a 800 plus hp full-size super truck that has won many drag races against every kinda car or truck out there. It all started with the beginning stages of this alpha tune I will forever be a fan and customer of MPT and thanks Mike

Great Tune!

This is the first time I have Tuned a truck. Put a 6 lift on my 2018 F-150 5.0 with 35s so the truck did not have the pick up like it did before. After installing the MPT AAA tune, the truck now runs much better and feels much like it did before the lift. The support from MPT is excellent. they have been very patient with me and all my questions! Highly recommend MPT and the AAA tune.Thank you!

Alpha Auto Tune 10/10

Got this tune all most a year ago and could not be anymore pleased. I bought this truck already tuned,shifted at 7300 on the STOCK manifold, would not go in 10th gear at 75mph on the highway and had pretty hard shifts. I switched over to MPT and purchased the AAA tune for my 2018 5.0, at first I did not like the way it would shift at 5800-6300 WOT so I asked for a revision to shift a lil higher (6,500-7,000)and that was the cherry on top. Switching from e85,e40,93,87 is a breeze. Pretty solid and safe tune I would definitely recommend this to any f150 owner

MPT is known for Customer Service and making Tuning Easy

Most of our employees worked at SCT in the past. We know these things inside and out.

What can I expect with an MPT Tune?

In one word—happiness. MPT has been a pioneer in tuning the 5.0L F150, dedicating countless hours on the dyno developing and perfecting a series of tunes that consistently deliver impressive results.

MPT tunes offer a comprehensive calibration of both the engine and transmission, meaning you’re not just getting power gains. You’ll notice improvements in throttle response, shifting smoothness, and overall drivability across all driving modes. Whether you’re daily driving or pushing your truck to the limit, MPT tunes are purpose-built to provide performance that will surprise you.

Expect a noticeable difference in how your vehicle feels and performs, making every drive more enjoyable.

After Doing This for So Long...

We kind of already know what you want.

Sure, more power is always a major plus, but let’s be honest—it’s not the only thing that matters. Drivability, smooth shifting (especially in city traffic), passing power, towing capability, fuel economy, and responsive throttle are all just as important, right?

Sound familiar?

If that’s what you’re looking for, you’re in the right place. MPT tunes don’t just deliver power—they’re built to improve every aspect of your driving experience. From city cruising to highway hauling, we make sure your truck drives the way you want it to.

Smooth as Butter in Normal,

Chirping the 2-3 in Sport 😁

With MPT tunes, all your driving modes are retained and enhanced to feel incredible. Whether you're cruising in Normal mode with silky-smooth shifts or hitting Sport mode, where you’ll feel that satisfying chirp on the 2-3 shift, MPT has you covered.

Most drivers love the way MPT tunes improve shifting, but if you have specific preferences, no problem! We’ve got a full-time team of tuners ready to customize your shifting experience. Whether it's adjusting for towing, daily driving, or track performance, we’re here to make sure you’re 100% happy with your MPT tunes.

Your Truck, Your Tune

+15 Years Experience

When you request a tune, we start with a highly refined, proven model that works incredibly well for most drivers—people are often amazed by how good it feels right out of the gate.

But we don’t stop there. Your truck is unique, and so are your driving preferences, which is why MPT offers an extensive update window. If you feel any adjustments are needed, we’ll work closely with you to fine-tune your vehicle even further, ensuring it performs exactly how you want it to.

At MPT, it’s all about your truck, your tune, and we’re here to make sure you get the best driving experience possible.

90-Day Window:

Tune Updates & Log Reviews

When you receive your MPT Tunes, you’ve got 90 days to really dial things in. During this window, you can send us data logs (a super cool recording of your engine’s performance while you drive). We’ll analyze those logs, listen to your feedback, and make any necessary updates to your tunes.

It’s like having a 90-day test drive to ensure everything is running exactly how you want. Whether you need a small tweak or a major adjustment, MPT’s team is here to make sure your tune is perfectly customized for your driving experience.

What MPT tunes are available for the Gen3 18-20 F-150 5.0L V8 Coyote?

MPT Alpha Auto Adapt Performance Tune

Covers 87 octane, E85 and everything between.

New to the Gen 3 18-20 F150 5.0 Coyote is our Alpha Auto Adapt Performance Tune (Read More)

The Alpha Auto Adapt Performance tune is the best of everything we have done in the past. It's the MPT PR-X Tune, it's the MPT Daily-Tow Tune, it's the MPT Performance-Economy tune. It can be used with 87 Octane, 89 Octane, 91 Octane, 93 Octane, E30, E50 and even full E85. It's flex fuel capable and adapts to your driving style and performance desires.

We also do some cool stuff with the Ford Anti-Lag features. We can make the Raptor anti-lag enabled in different drive modes and perform better than stock. Then on the F-150, it's disabled from the factory, but we can turn it on and let it rip, Raptor style.

With this tune you are looking at huge increases in low end torque and acceleration, faster 0-60 times, quicker 1/4 mile results, shift points optimized with a focus on performance.

The shift points in normal mode will hit all 10 gears, with downshifts tightened up putting you in the right gear at the right time. This means power to the wheels when the driver demands it.

Sport Mode and Tow Haul mode retain most all of the positive features from Ford with minor tweaks to improve over all feel.

What about drive modes?

First of all, all driving modes are retained. We do some MPT specific changes to each individual mode. Normal drive mode gets an impressive boost in throttle response and feel, but click to Sport mode and this improvement is multiplied. Sport mode has a noticeable increase in throttle response above that of the already increased base mode.

Available with both MPT Transmission Tuning (No Extra Charge) or Factory OEM Transmission Tuning. This tune has all the benefits of the above PR-X but has the trans setup very mild for those that prefer the stock feeling shifts of the truck.

Please Note:We do not recommend towing with the PR-X tune installed. All towing or hauling must be done with a Daily-Tow Tune or after returning to the stock tune

While an off-the-shelf tuner with pre-loaded tunes can give you a quick boost in power, sometimes it’s just not enough. These pre-loaded tunes are fine for basic improvements, but if you're looking for something more refined and tailored, that’s where MPT comes in.

An MPT Custom Tune is a personalized software adjustment designed to maximize your vehicle’s performance. We’ve dedicated thousands of hours on our in-house dyno, specifically developing tunes for the 5.0L V8 platform. This isn’t just a theory—we’ve tested our own trucks at the drag strip, raced them, and daily driven them to ensure that our tunes deliver real-world results.

Why MPT?

MPT’s custom tunes recalibrate your engine’s parameters, unlocking more horsepower, improving throttle response, enhancing shifting smoothness, and even boosting fuel efficiency. Whether your goal is faster acceleration, better overall drivability, or achieving the perfect balance of performance and economy, MPT’s tunes are tailored to match your specific vehicle setup and driving style.

With extensive data-logging and expert fine-tuning, MPT ensures your vehicle reaches its peak performance while maintaining reliability and safety. It’s this attention to detail and commitment to excellence that sets MPT apart from the rest, giving you a truly custom driving experience.

Simply put, an MPT Custom Tune is for those who demand more—more power, more control, and more fun every time they get behind the wheel.

An MPT Tune can significantly enhance the performance of a 2018-2020 Ford F-150 5.0L V8, transforming it into a more powerful and enjoyable driving experience. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect:

Key Benefits:

  1. Increased Horsepower and Torque: The MPT Tune can add substantial power gains, taking advantage of the V8 engine’s potential. Depending on the tune and modifications, you can expect impressive increases in both horsepower and torque, giving your F-150 a noticeable boost in acceleration and overall performance.
  2. Better Throttle Response: One of the most immediate changes you'll notice is improved throttle response. The MPT Tune reduces lag and makes the gas pedal feel more responsive, which means quicker acceleration and a more connected driving experience.
  3. Smoother Shifting: The tune optimizes the transmission’s shift points, resulting in smoother and more efficient gear changes. This reduces hesitation and hunting for gears, whether you're cruising on the highway or towing a heavy load.
  4. Fuel Efficiency: While the main goal is increased performance, many F-150 owners notice a boost in fuel economy under normal driving conditions. The tune optimizes the air-fuel mixture and timing, making your truck more efficient when you're not pushing it hard.
  5. Data-Logging Support: With MPT's data-logging service, you can fine-tune your vehicle further. MPT analyzes driving data to adjust the tune, ensuring your F-150 is performing at its peak.

Why Choose an MPT Tune?

  • Custom Tunes Built Specifically for You: Each tune is personalized based on your truck's setup, modifications, and driving preferences, ensuring the best possible performance.
  • Ongoing Support: MPT offers after-sale support with tune updates as new software becomes available, and expert help for any issues that may arise.

Real-World Gains

Many F-150 owners with MPT Tunes have reported gains of over 80 horsepower and 100 lb-ft of torque over the stock setup, along with improved towing capabilities and an all-around more enjoyable driving experience.

An MPT Tune takes the already impressive 5.0L Coyote engine and unleashes its full potential, making it a must-have upgrade for any 2018-2020 Ford F-150 owner looking to enhance performance.

For the Gen3 5.0L Trucks, we offer our Alpha Auto Adapt tune. This tune can be used with any octane ranging from 87 to full E85.

No special modifications are required to run E85 on this truck. It comes ready to go straight from the factory.

MPT offers different handheld tuners to give customers more options based on their specific needs, preferences, and vehicle setups. Each tuner model comes with unique features, compatibility, and functionality. Some customers might prioritize ease of use and portability, while others may need more advanced data-logging capabilities or custom tuning options. By offering multiple choices, MPT ensures that every customer can find the perfect tuner for their goals, whether they’re looking for a simple performance boost or a more in-depth, customizable experience.

When comparing the SCT X4 7015, SCT Livewire TS+ 5015P, SCT BDX 40490, HP Tuners RTD, and COBB Accessport V3, you'll notice they share many core features while also offering distinct advantages tailored to different users. Here’s a closer look at how they compare, focusing on their shared capabilities and unique strengths.

Shared Features Across Devices

All five devices are compatible with MPT Tunes, providing the flexibility to unlock the full potential of your vehicle with custom tuning solutions. They also share the ability to read and clear diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs), ensuring that users can quickly diagnose and resolve issues without needing additional tools. Furthermore, each device offers real-time data monitoring, allowing users to track critical engine metrics like air/fuel ratios, engine temperature, throttle response, and more. Advanced data logging is another common feature, providing valuable insights into vehicle performance for both daily driving and track use.

SCT X4 7015

The SCT X4 7015 is a user-friendly, handheld tuner that offers a balance of essential features, including MPT Tune compatibility and DTC reading/clearing. Its large color display and button navigation provide real-time data monitoring, making it an excellent choice for users who want a straightforward, portable tuner. While it lacks a touchscreen, it’s reliable, compact, and ideal for those who prefer simplicity without sacrificing performance.

SCT Livewire TS+ 5015P

The SCT Livewire TS+ 5015P stands out with its sleek, color touchscreen and customizable gauge layouts, offering an interactive user experience for real-time data monitoring. Despite its advanced features, the Livewire TS+ is smaller than both the X4 and BDX, making it extremely portable. Like the X4, it allows for MPT Tunes, DTC reading/clearing, and advanced data logging, but the touchscreen interface and customization options give it an edge for users seeking more control over how they view their data.

SCT BDX 40490

The SCT BDX 40490 offers a compact design similar to the X4 but introduces modern conveniences with its built-in Wi-Fi, allowing for seamless updates and cloud access to new tunes. It shares the core features of MPT Tune compatibility and DTC reading/clearing, but its focus on wireless connectivity and portability makes it a great choice for users who value ease of access and staying up-to-date with the latest features. The BDX also has a high-resolution display, though it lacks the touchscreen of the Livewire TS+.

HP Tuners RTD

The HP Tuners RTD offers a different approach with Bluetooth connectivity, allowing users to manage their tuning and data logging directly from a mobile device. Like the SCT devices, it’s fully compatible with MPT Tunes and offers the ability to read and clear DTCs, but instead of a built-in display, it connects to your smartphone or tablet for real-time monitoring and diagnostics. The RTD’s small size and reliance on mobile integration make it one of the most portable and flexible options for tech-savvy users who prefer mobile control.

COBB Accessport V3

The COBB Accessport V3 is known for its customizable, vibrant display, allowing users to tailor gauge layouts and track multiple parameters at once. Like the other devices, it supports MPT Tunes and offers DTC reading/clearing and real-time data monitoring. While it doesn’t have built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth, the Accessport excels in user interface design, providing a clean, easy-to-navigate system for enthusiasts who want detailed insights into their vehicle’s performance.

In one word, happiness. MPT was a pioneer for tuning the Coyote Trucks. We've spent more hours than we'd like to admit on the dyno developing and refining our series of MPT tunes. We've taken our own personal 5.0L truck to the drag strip and raced it. We daily drive our vehicles in order to know the vehicle inside and out. This knowledge has helped us develop MPT tunes that are purpose built with results that will surprise you.

  • Truck feels lighter and is more fun to drive.
  • Huge Gains in Torque and Horse Power.
  • Throttle Response is drastically improved.
  • Faster 0-60
  • Quicker 1/4 times
  • Better shift points and shift firmness optimized.
  • Removed Speed Limiters.
  • Raised Rev Limiters.
  • Correct Speedometer for tire and axle changes.
  • Tune for most Aftermarket Modifications.

100% Yes, they are. MPT is proud of our reputation, while some tuners are known for blowing motors, MPT is known for quality tunes and customer service. Our goal is to deliver tuning that we can recommend with a good conscience. The tunes we sell have been dyno tested more than we want to admit, they have been emissions tested, they have been street tested. We run these tunes in our vehicles daily. PR-X is our preferred daily driver tune. Then on top of this solid base, we also offer data log reviews to confirm everything is good to go. This can help one find items that could contribute to issues if not resolved, such as low engine oil.

No aftermarket modifications are required before you can use MPT Tunes.

Tuning should be your first modification for your 18-20 Gen3 F150 5.0L V8 Truck. The biggest gains are delivered with MPT tuning. Most other modifications require no change to the MPT tune. The few modifications that do require MPT tuning can be adjusted for. There is no reason to wait for tuning until after other modifications. For many customers, MPT tunes are the only modification done to their vehicle and they often mention wishing they didn't wait. When driving MPT tunes, customers agree this is how it should have came from Ford.

You’ve heard about it—the PR-X Tune. It’s what you want, but how do you get it?

MPT has an online question form that gathers your information, details on your vehicle and lets you pick your tunes. It's referred to as the MPT Tune Form. Links will be in your confirmation email as well as this website near the top and bottom.

Absolutely! MPT tunes are fully custom to both the vehicle and the person driving it. Here's how:

MPT conducts extensive dyno research on every supported vehicle, fine-tuning over and over to achieve the best results while prioritizing engine safety. The tunes we provide are the result of this rigorous testing and are already custom-tuned to the max for optimal performance.

But we don’t stop there! To make it even more personal, MPT offers data-logging reviews. This means we collect real-time data from your vehicle while it's running with the MPT tune. If we notice any necessary adjustments based on your specific setup or driving style, we fine-tune the calibration to suit your vehicle perfectly.

MPT also specializes in creating tunes for most aftermarket modifications. Whether you’ve added a bigger turbo, upgraded your exhaust, or made other performance changes, MPT tunes are tailored to maximize those upgrades.

Not only do we customize for modifications, but we also consider your goals—whether you’re aiming for a better daily driving experience or chasing track performance. And it’s not uncommon for MPT to identify potential mechanical issues through data-logging, helping you troubleshoot and keep your vehicle running at its best.

In short, MPT tunes are more than just software—they're a customized driving experience built specifically for your vehicle and your needs!

Yes, transmission tuning is included for all 3, Cobb, SCT and HP Tuners. MPT does not charge extra for Trans Tuning.

Tunes, log reviews and tune updates are completed in order received. We have a full time staff at MPT, with 3 tuners so we cycle through them at a pretty good rate but obviously we don't want to go so fast that we make mistakes. Generally speaking, 2-3 business days is a good estimate. We do however have an option to skip to the front of the line. That service is referred to as Rush My Tunes and gets your tunes completed in 1 business day or less.

Premium fuel is recommended in general. Believe it or not, fuel octane make a big difference in power. The individual tune name will reference the octane fuel required for that specific tune. If a tune is written for 87 octane, you can use it with 87 in the tank or better. If the tune is written for 93 octane, you cannot use it with 87 octane in the tank. You must use 93 octane fuel with a 93 octane tune.

MPT makes this process as easy as possible for you and for those that still need help or have questions, our tech support team is ready and willing to assist. This is one of the many reasons, MPT is the preferred tuning choice. The tunes will be sent in an email with easy to follow instructions explaining how to get them from the email to the tuner.

This is a tough question for us to answer for the simple reason that the dealership is a 3rd party. They can literally do whatever they want. We can't speak on behalf of a 3rd party. They can void your warranty for changing your air filter if they are feeling like being a d-bag that day. That being said, we tune these vehicles all day log and customers getting their warranty voided is not a problem we deal with. Our tunes are safe and effective to not cause damage that a dealership would blame on tuning. If this is a concern of yours, our only recommendation is talk to your dealership. Otherwise, simply reload the Ford stock file before going for service. Our general rule is after the 1st oil change you are ready for tuning.

When you take your vehicle in for dealer service, it’s important to return it to stock before you go. Here’s how it works with different tuners:

  • SCT Tuners: Simply return your vehicle to its stock settings before the service. Once you do, the dealer service will be unaffected, and the fact that you flashed your vehicle won’t be recorded.
  • COBB Accessport Tuner: Return your vehicle to stock before heading to the dealer. After service, your Accessport will still function normally, and you can reapply your custom tunes as needed.
  • HP Tuners RTD Tuner: Just like with other tuners, return your vehicle to stock before the service. Afterward, you can reload your custom tunes, and your HP Tuners device will continue to function without issue.

In all cases, returning to stock ensures smooth dealer service without leaving any trace of your custom tunes.

As far as needing new plugs for MPT Tunes, the answer is no. Stock oem plugs work just fine and typically with plugs you'll know when it's time for a new set. The vehicle will start idling rougher than normal or you'll feel it cutting out while you are under boost. In that situation you will either re-gap the plugs or replace with a new set.

Now, if we are talking a big build on a vehicle that has a decent list of modifications, different story. In that case, we would recommend a spark plug and a specific gap to you.

Having multiple tunes allows you to switch between different driving experiences depending on your needs. For example, you might want a performance-focused tune for spirited driving or track days, while using a fuel-efficient tune for daily commutes. If you frequently tow, a towing-specific tune can optimize power and transmission settings for hauling heavy loads.

You might have the same tune, but built for different octanes, such as 87 PR-X when you are tight on funds and 93 PR-X when performance outweighs the wallet. ;-)

Each tune is custom-tailored to match different driving conditions, so having multiple tunes gives you the flexibility to get the best performance out of your vehicle in any situation.

  • SCT Tuners - When loading the tune, there is an option to set the speedometer for changes in tire size and/or axle ratio in the adjustable options.
  • Cobb Accessport Tuner - Yes, once a tune is installed using the Cobb AP Tuner, there is an option to correct the speedometer for changes in tire size.
  • HP Tuners RTD Tuner - It can be done via the RTD and a laptop with VCM Scanner Installed.

As long as there are unlocks available and it is unmarried to the previous vehicle, you can use the SCT Tuner on your vehicle. If you are unsure if the tuner is unmarried or has unlocks, an MPT Expert will be glad to assist you.

Absolutely not. It is More Power Tuning's (MPT) policy not to manufacture, offer for sale, sell, convey, or otherwise transfer any product, including Handheld Devices, Pre-Loaded Tunes, or Calibrations that contain features to bypass, defeat or render inoperative the following: EGR, Rear Oxygen Sensors, SCR, DPF, NAC, DOC, or any diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) associated with these emission controls.

We are proud of the hard work put into our MPT tunes, but we understand not everyone has the same personal preference. We offer 90 days of preference based changes. This allows the consumer to experience the night and day difference of MPT tunes first hand and then provide us with any feedback or notes for revisions. This 90 days also includes data logs to review the performance of the vehicle while tuned. Our ultimate goal is to make sure you are 100% happy with the MPT tunes. If you are not, then we want to know about it and fix it.

Yes, the Ford F150 Coyote V8 has a factory speed limiter. MPT Tunes can fix this and remove the speed limiter on the V8 F150. MPT can raise the speed limiter to a set value or even lower the speed limiter.

Device Compatibility: What You Need to Know for Loading Tunes

When it comes to loading and managing your custom tunes, it’s important to know which device and platform you’ll need. Here’s a breakdown for SCT, HP Tuners, and COBB tuners:

  • SCT Tuners: For SCT devices, a Windows computer is required to manage and load your tunes. This means if you own an SCT tuner, make sure you have access to a Windows machine to complete the process. Mac computers are not compatible with SCT software.
  • HP Tuners: HP Tuners offers more flexibility with their TDN app, which can be used on both Apple (iOS) and Android devices. This allows you to manage and upload your tunes directly from your phone without the need for a computer, making it super convenient.
  • COBB Accessport users can manage tunes and updates using Accessport Manager, which is compatible with both Windows and macOS. This software allows you to transfer calibrations, update your Accessport device, and manage datalogs.

With this info, you’ll be ready to choose the right tools and devices to get your tunes loaded up and hit the road!

Generally speaking, we easily get 80hp over stock. Our MPT Tunes make the most power we feel comfortable with for the type of tune it is. Our tunes that are designated for towing will make less power than MPT PR-X tune which is for performance. We have dyno graphs and information available for most tunes.

Yes, 100%. MPT Tunes make a night and day difference on the 2018-2020 F150 V8 Trucks.

A Flash Programmer (also known as a Flash Tuner) is a powerful device that immediately boosts your vehicle’s horsepower, torque, and even fuel economy by reprogramming the computer in your vehicle. It allows you to choose the type of tune based on the performance you’re looking for—whether that’s more power, better drivability, or improved efficiency.

One of the biggest advantages of a Flash Programmer is the ability to switch tunes at any time in just a few minutes. Whether you're dialing in for a road trip or getting track-ready, you can adjust your tune to match your needs. And don’t worry—it's 100% reversible.

When using a Flash Programmer, an exact copy of your stock file is always saved before any changes are made. This is crucial if you ever need to return your vehicle to stock settings for warranty repairs or servicing. With just a few clicks, you can revert your vehicle to its factory settings, leaving no trace that it was ever tuned.

In short, a Flash Programmer gives you complete control over your vehicle’s performance, with the flexibility to switch between tunes or return to stock whenever necessary!
