Ford Kuga Stage 1 Towing Remap
This Ford Kuga went from 177hp and 400Nm to 220hp and 470Nm with our Stage 1 calibration, a gain of 43hp and 70Nm.
Tuned for towing a caravan
The owner wanted more power and better MPG while towing their caravan. The extra torque means the Kuga pulls a load more easily, needs fewer downshifts on hills and works less hard on the motorway.
Does a remap help with towing?
Yes. More torque low in the rev range is exactly what towing needs. We tune Fords at your home or workplace across Bristol, North Somerset, Somerset and South Wales.
About this job
The results
Power went from 177hp to 220hp, an increase of 43hp or around 24%.
Torque rose from 400Nm to 470Nm (+70Nm), which is what you feel most in everyday driving: stronger pull from low revs and easier overtaking.
What the work involved
A Stage 1 remap is a software calibration for an otherwise standard car. We refine parameters such as boost, fuelling, ignition timing and torque limits within safe margins, so it pulls harder through the mid-range without any hardware changes.
How we carried it out
- Diagnostic scan for stored faults before any work
- Stabilised power supply connected while programming
- Original software read and saved, so the car can be returned to standard
- Calibration written, then the car checked again afterwards
Thinking about the same for your Ford?
We come to you from our Weston-super-Mare base, across Bristol, Somerset, Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, South Wales and parts of Devon and Dorset. Results depend on the exact car, so we confirm what suits yours before quoting.

- Dealer-level diagnostics before and after
- Fully mobile, at home or work
- Lifetime software warranty and support
- 14-day money-back guarantee
