Honestyly im not sure bro lol i just know when i bought it last year i got it from edge right around thanks giving and got it and the dash pod for 300$ new instead of the 500 or whatever the cts was. It def has more options than i will ever use on it. It comes preloaded with a ton of different options. For example i have a afe dry filter cai and the exact model was already loaded into it with like 50 others. Lets you adjust for gear size tire size etc lol

Both would work well for what you are looking for but you are correct, the SCT does not have any type of MPG reading.

Main pro to SCT is it comes with the three preloaded tunes on it for your truck and can do custom tunes as well, so can always add a custom tune later if you want as the Livewire can hold up to ten custom tunes, and the Edge only has the preloaded tunes, no custom.

$520 actually for a new Livewire TS 5015 is actually a helluva deal if it's legit.

You've gotta go livewire. MPT made me 3 tunes. Economy, dd, and performance. The race tune spins my 35s like nothing else and the economy added over 2 mpg
