    Nope, OP's truck is a 2020 Sport. He's definitely going to want to ask for TSB-867530-9

    TSB's are updates to fix known issues. Example A/T shift issues (ECU) update, rear diff leak and so on.

    Vftune is a tune software that lets you change your ECU's shift points, accelerator angles and so on, also a way to make your truck run better.

    Come on now, first post, be nice.

    Welcome to the forum

    The newest is the best. Your 2020 depending on the build date may have the latest ECU flash, roughly June/July 2021 was the switch over. Otherwise, TSB-0092-20 would apply. To confirm, most OBD coder readers will display the calibration code - if you have one, or a free loan from an auto parts store.

    If you're looking for a custom tune, that is an option via OVTune - in that case the best is subjective.

    I believe it is for 2019-2020 V6 4x4, regardless of model. To confirm, you can check with your VIN.

    To make it simple. It applies to:
    -- All 2019 3.5l ATs
    -- Is VIN specific for the 2020 3.5l ATs because the second half of the MY came with the update on the line​

    Hey Guys, anyone know if there is an "up to date" flash for 2018 TRD Sport that would be equivalent to the TSB 0092-20?

    It is not.

    Results will be the same (hopefully) but two different flash files.
