I have one on my Gen 1 Raptor and it works great. not sure about the Bronco. and have friends that have them on Rangers and they work great. i think you would notice a difference.

I am currently undecided about whether I should return my Pedal Commander. I recently came across a YouTube video by Gale Banks in which he expressed concerns about the accuracy of the information provided by Pedal Commander, as well as some negative remarks regarding Pedal Monster.

Gale Banks talk crap about any product they don't make. look at the video he made about flat diff covers and how they don't lubricate. I have 200,000 miles on my Gen 1 Raptor with a MAG-HY-TEC cover and zero issues.

I had a Pedal Commander on my Jeep Wrangler JKU and it worked great for a while and then became problematic. I was getting intermittent speed sensor codes and after lots of diagnosis and pulling out my hair, I disconnected the PC and haven’t had an issue since - hence, I am NOT a fan! YMMV

I had one on my Tacoma and it was great. Definitely needed it. I don’t feel I need one for my bronco but I have the V6 and lower Squatch gears.

Had issues with pedal Commander in multiple vehicles over the years. Haven't had a single issue with my Banks pedal monster in either my bronco or my TRX. If you're looking for more throttle response, it just works.

I’ve been using the Sprint Booster with good results. You can all lock the the pedal as an extra layer of protection when you park.

I also saw the Banks video you mentioned. In that video, Gale was talking about the power source for the Pedal Commander (and similar products) piggybacking off the 5v line for the throttle by wire. It is possible for an electrical issue in the vehicle to cause loss of throttle with a shared power source. Not an issue caused by the Pedal Commander, just amplified by it. I would recommend a product that doesn't share a power source with a critical function.
