I'm pretty sure the SCTx 4 works for the 2015's too. If you're worried about warranty get the warranty through 5 star. Some dealers are ok with tuners (although not many) and some will tell you straight up they void your warranty. My opinion, money well spent. You just need to make sure to flash back to stock tune before taking to dealer for work, If you are having a warranty repair you should flash back to stock and put a couple hundred miles on the stock tune before bringing it in. Not so easy if you have major issue and can't drive the truck. http://5startuning.com/got-2015-f150-3-5l-v6-ecoboost/
The truck counts every reflash. And ford keeps track how many times they flash it... So if it says 3 flashes and it's the first time to the dealer for an engine issue they know you flashed it. You might have a fight on your hands you might not. But don't think just because you reflashed it, now they don't know. Because they do.

It's a processes done that many guys who have thrown rods have done and have gotten engines replaced under warranty, a good friend of mine is one of those guys.
Now if you do some crazy damage that is totally obvious you were running a gnarly tune it may not work as they may sent your PCM off to the big wigs.
Unfortunately and fortunately the Ecoboost throwing rods happens in totally stock trucks too, albeit the percentage of trucks throwing rods tuned or not is still very small it dose happen.
So basically don't take your truck in for warranty work with it tuned, tuner hooked up, down pipes, aftermarket intercooler, intake.
My friend who had all those bolt on's returned everything back to stock before taking it in.
