Searching this forum for "Pedal Commander" or doing a Google search for "pedal commander f150forum" will show several results where this topic has been beat to death several times in the past ~3-4 years. Plenty of reviews for and against the product in those threads.

I know some people swear by the Pedal Commander and i'm sure it's a great product but there are other options as well. I've been using my Soler Performance controller for a few months now and I love it. It's also half the price.

Look into a Banks PedalMonster as an alternative

I'm sure Pedal Commander does exactly what it says it does. If you push the gas 10%, it tells the ECU you're mashing it 20% or 25%. It doesn't make the vehicle any more powerful or faster. 100% is 100%. It doesn't improve 1/4 mile times and it doesn't throttle you to 11.

That said, you can do exactly the same thing with your right foot, for free. Just push the pedal down faster. Why would anyone spend $300+ for something they can do themselves for free?

You will find that those who have one say they work great and those who have never driven with one say they are sure that they don't. I have a cheaper version and it works great. See no reason to spend as much as some of them cost.

Velocity Performance Products throttle controller here. No issues. Works great to take lag out of the gas pedal.

I won't be putting a 3rd party signal generator between throttle output and PCM input. No need to introduce another variable/point of failure.
