QUESTION

What's the difference between DMS™ and Standard Tuning?

ANSWER

Standard Tuning applies a single calibration across all drive modes, optimized for your selected fuel type, tuning goal, and vehicle configuration.

The factory drive mode functionality itself remains intact: Normal and Eco Modes will remain the most relaxed, while Sport and Baja remain the most responsive.

Where applicable, DMS™ (Drive Mode Specific) Tuning allows multiple calibrations to be integrated into the factory drive modes, enabling different power levels, transmission behavior, and vehicle characteristics without requiring additional flashing between calibrations.

DMS™ provides greater flexibility while maintaining factory-style operation, though it is only supported for 2020-2024 Ford Explorer and Lincoln Aviator 3.0L Platforms at this time.

TIPS

The Terrain Management System will still function with Standard Tunes.

Our Standard Tune will not calibrate individual drive modes. Instead, all drive modes will be adjusted equally, according to the tuning goal for the entire tune.

By contrast, our DMS™ (Drive Mode Specific) Calibration System places a unique calibration in each Drive Mode. The DMS tune also allows you to leave drive modes stock, if desired.
