No all 3 of them are actually programmers, but IMO I would go with the Edge Evo. Best bang for your buck, and I always get compliments about how stock it looks with the nice dashpod

Hm, have you ever considered other avenues of tuning? I know truck guys like their tuners because of the nifty screens, but golly thats a lot of money to pay for what your getting.

Look into Delta Force tuning products. You will get a better tune out of the box and have a lot more adjustability I would think. For the same price you can even get the full tuning package like I have that will unlock the whole PCM and let you pretty much tune for whatever mod you could ever do.

I would just get Edge Evo... you really don't need the touch screen programmer.. the price increase isn't worth it imo. And you can usually find a used EDGE Evo on craigslist for under $300. Just make sure they returned it to stock before hand.

If your referring to the Delta Force tuning software LMK and ill help you out with any questions. For 99% of the people on this board the "special forces" package will be more than enough.

You will be VERY surprised at the easy of use and the amount of adjustability you get from the system.

They need a iphone app that can allow us to use it as a programmer. And also f150forum.com needs a app too.

They make a free app, that if you buy the $50 dollar connection cable that allows you to plug your phone into the OBDII port, allows you to trouble shoot and read engine codes. So maybe tuning will be on its way
