The wait is over!
We're excited to announce that custom tuning support is now available for the 2025-2026 Ford Maverick 2.0L EcoBoost, and you can now purchase the HP Tuners RTD Device and PandaTuned calibrations directly from Panda Motorworks.
The Maverick EcoBoost has been one of our favorite platforms to work with over the last few years. We’ve tested different fuels, modifications, and tuning setups, put thousands of miles on our R&D truck, and learned a lot along the way. Now we can bring all of that experience over to the 2025-2026 Mavericks.
Introducing the HP Tuners RTD
With tuning support now available for the 2025-2026 Maverick, we've partnered with HP Tuners to deliver an incredibly simple remote tuning experience.
The HP Tuners RTD (Remote Tuning Device) replaces the need for bulky handheld programmers with a modern, cloud-based tuning platform.
Using HP Tuners' Tune Delivery Network (TDN) app, your Maverick connects directly to your smartphone.
With just a few taps you can:
- Flash your custom tune
- Read and clear diagnostic trouble codes
- Record datalogs
- Upload logs directly to our calibrator
- Receive tune revisions automatically through the cloud
Built on the same foundation as HP Tuners' professional MPVI3 hardware, the RTD provides professional grade capability in a customer-friendly package.
Whether this is your first tune or your tenth, the process couldn't be easier!
Proven Results. Real Testing.
At Panda Motorworks, we don't believe in chasing dyno numbers just for marketing.
Every tune we release is backed by extensive real world testing and thousands of miles of validation before it ever reaches a customer.
Our original Maverick R&D truck spent over 20,000 miles on our Stage 1 calibration before moving on to Stage 2 development. That testing allowed us to fine-tune drivability, reliability, and consistency, not just peak horsepower.
Stage 1 Performance
Our Stage 1 setup consisted of:
- Panda Custom Tune
- High flow drop-in air filter
Even with these minimal modifications, the results were impressive.
93 Octane Tune
- +28 HP
- +36 lb-ft Torque
E50 Tune
- +50 HP
- +36 lb-ft Torque
One of the biggest surprises during development was discovering just how capable the factory fuel system is. The stock system comfortably supported an ethanol blend of up to E50, opening the door for substantial performance gains without requiring additional fuel system upgrades.
Stage 2 Takes Things Even Further
Once Stage 1 testing was complete, we added one of the most beneficial upgrades available for the Maverick EcoBoost, a larger intercooler.
Using the CVF Performance Intercooler, we recalibrated the truck and continued our testing.
Stage 2 Results
93 Octane
- +40 HP
- +47 lb-ft Torque
E50
- +65 HP
- +60 lb-ft Torque
For a relatively simple bolt-on setup, these gains are outstanding.
The 2.0L EcoBoost has always been an impressive engine, and with years of experience tuning this platform across multiple Ford applications, we knew there was significant potential waiting to be unlocked.
Real Support From Real Tuners
One thing that separates Panda Motorworks from many tuning companies is our commitment to customer support.
When you purchase a PandaTune, you'll also have direct access to our tuning team through your Tune Ticket. If you have a question, need help with the flashing process, or want us to take a look at a datalog, you can reach out directly to the calibrator working on your truck. We want the entire process to be easy, especially if this is your first time tuning a vehicle.
Most Tune Ticket responses are answered within 24 business hours (Monday-Friday, 9 AM-5 PM CST), ensuring you have support throughout the entire tuning process.
Whether you have questions before flashing your first tune or need to revise your tune after installing new modifications, we're here to help.
Our Three Pillars of Tuning
At Panda Motorworks, tuning has never been about producing the biggest dyno graph.
Every calibration we create follows what we call our Three Pillars of Tuning:
Performance
We maximize the potential of your EcoBoost while maintaining smooth power delivery and factory-like drivability.
Reliability
Power means nothing if your truck isn't dependable. Every tune is designed to perform consistently day after day, not just for a single dyno pull.
Safety
Our calibrations are backed by extensive testing and real-world validation. We don't rely on aggressive, unproven strategies that compromise your investment.
When you purchase a PandaTune, you're getting a calibration we'd confidently install on our own vehicles.
Ready to Wake Up Your Maverick?
The 2025-2026 Maverick EcoBoost has enormous untapped potential, and we're excited to finally bring custom tuning support to the platform.
Whether you want a smoother daily driver, stronger mid-range acceleration, or the added performance that comes with ethanol blends and supporting modifications, PandaTuned calibrations are designed to deliver real-world performance you can feel every time you hit the throttle.
If you've been waiting for tuning support for your 2025-2026 Maverick, the wait is officially over.
The HP Tuners RTD and PandaTuned calibrations are available now at Panda Motorworks!
