So I've got a '23 BL SAS. Never really considered picking up one of these but recently peaked my interest when I discovered that some of these include a pedal lock mode and valet mode which I think would be very handy. Especially the pedal lock so if a thief did manage to clone my fob and start it it still wouldn't go anywhere with the accelerator locked out. However, I know next to nothing about these things and have several questions for the crew here. Apologies in advance if there is an existing thread with side by side comparisons. If it does exist I couldn't find one so here we go.

1. Which one is the "best"? LOL I know, this will be completely subjective. Which ever one I get must have the pedal lock feature though. So far I am leaning toward the Ultimate9 evcX https://www.ultimate9.co/our-range/...ller-to-suit-ford-bronco-2021-on-6th-gen.html

2. Has anyone heard of any scenario whereby a drivetrain warranty claim gets denied due to the use of one of these?

3. Has anyone heard of the pedal lock feature being defeated by a thief in some way?

4. Does anyone know if there are any reports of causing drivetrain damage, even when used with a slight to moderate increase in response?

Appreciate ya'lls responses here for a nubie in this category.

Lol..I was going to answer "your foot" but I had never heard of a pedal lock feature. That does sound interesting.

As for warranty...the first time there is an issue..pull it out before taking it to the dealer.

One member just got a $1,300 bill from the dealer because he installed the factory alarm add on and the plug came loose and he's Bronco wouldn't start.

Sprint Booster V3 is what I have been using without any issues.

Sprint Booster V3 has same features as Pedal Commander and a couple features they don't - pedal lock and valet mode. Pedal lock works well. It's not advertised as an anti theft but it works as one.
A thief could disconnect the Sprint Booster but would have to wait 20 mins to use throttle again. They ain't got time for that.
I'm thinking of selling my Sprint Booster V3. I don't use it much anymore since adding Ford Performance tune. $250. Message me.

Video on how Sprint Booster pedal lock works.
