Not sure which engine you have?
The badge alone isn’t enough: in this generation, the same engine came with different horsepower ratings, each with its own calibration. Check the horsepower in your owner’s manual or vehicle documents and find the matching row.

Ford Explorer V tune: what changes
The module plugs in between the sensors and the engine control unit (ECU) and adjusts their signals. It never rewrites your ECU software: your factory warranty is preserved, and the module can be removed at any time.

What makes the Ford Explorer V special
Ford Explorer tune (U502, built from 2010): pick the tuner by engine
The fifth-generation Explorer (U502) sold new in the U.S. for model years 2011 through 2019. Production ran in Chicago from December 2010 to March 2019, so the first cars are titled as 2011 models. In Europe Ford sold the Explorer only from 1993 to 2001, then again from 2019 as a plug-in hybrid, so the catalog rows for this generation come from the American engine range. Match your Explorer by engine and hp rather than by trim.
Which GAN performance chip fits which Explorer engine
Start with the 3.5 EcoBoost: a twin-turbo V6 that the catalog lists at 370 hp, and the GAN GT is the performance chip for it. Explorer Sport trims carried this engine from 2013 to the end of production. The 2.3 EcoBoost four-cylinder, offered from 2016 to 2019, takes the GAN GT as well. In the U.S. it is rated at 280 hp, so compare that figure with the 2.3T row before you order.
The naturally aspirated 3.5 Ti-VCT V6, 294 hp in the catalog, takes the GAN GA+. That V6 has an internal water pump, so have the cooling system checked before you add power. Sport and Platinum trims are treated the same way: the engine decides the performance chip, not the badge.
Ford Explorer V tuning FAQ
Ford Explorer 3.5 EcoBoost performance chip: what does the GAN GT add?
The GAN GT takes the 3.5 EcoBoost from 370 hp to 433 hp. Those are the rated figures for this engine type, not a dyno result from your Explorer.
Which performance chip suits the Explorer 3.5 Ti-VCT V6 if you tow with it?
The 3.5 Ti-VCT V6 is naturally aspirated, so it pairs with the GAN GA+, rated at up to 12% more power.
Is a tuning module the same as a Stage 1 tune?
Not quite. Stage 1 usually means an ECU flash tune without replacing any parts. The tuning module also works without replacing parts, but it does not change the ECU software: it adjusts the sensor signals, comes off in about a minute, and the OFF button in the app restores the factory settings.
