Can 2004 Ford F-150 5.4L Tow in High Performance Mode with Edge Evolution Programmer EP59YR
Question:
I have 2004 F-150 with the 5.4. I just wanted to know why I cant tow in Level III?

Expert Reply:
The Edge Evolution Programmer # EP59YR is a confirmed fit for your 2004 F-150 with 5.4L Triton V8 engine. The reason Edge does not recommend towing with the high performance tune installed is the risk of high engine temperatures.
If you remain under 5K trailer weight and are not towing in the mountains you will be okay, according to my technical contact, so long as you keep a close eye on the engine temperature.
You might want to consider installing an oil cooler like Derale Plate-Fin Engine Oil Cooler Kit # D15405.
