What’s the point of Ford Ranger tuning?

I have friends who are trying to convince me to tune my car. They say it improves performance and raises fuel efficiency. Why would I tune my Ford Ranger?

Your friends are right! Tuning your
Ford Ranger
 can improve its performance.
The most common way to tune a Ford Ranger is by remapping your Ford’s ECU (electronic control unit) to match your needs.
Your Ford’s current modifications are focused on safety and are likely not taking full advantage of your car’s power. Tuning a vehicle can increase its performance, upgrade its fuel efficiency, up its horsepower, and more.
However, tuning messes with the Ford Ranger’s main computer. If done incorrectly, a tune can seriously damage your car. On top of that, it is illegal in some states and can void your warranty.
If you’re looking to keep your Ford Ranger in great shape, be sure you have a great
car insurance
 policy! Use the insurance broker and super app,
