Not near as much potential but I'm sure you know that.

My understanding is officially you just get the 3/36. Some of it is dealer discretion and logically they would be more apt to be fine with a Ford tune they installed where an aftermarket tune is typically a your problem kind of thing. My dealership has a department that modified and sells custom parts for Fords and if I get a tune from Ford, I would talk to them first.
I don't think I would ever get more than a verbal agreement though.

at the end of the day, for most none of this should be very surprising. YOU GOT TO PAY TO PLAY! haha thats always the risk vs reward when it comes to modifying any vehicle.
with that said, someone may get this tune and it may cause an issue down the line where as someone else may never have one.
Someones local ford dealer may be sticklers when it comes to the tune and some may not care.
it sucks you got all these variables to dance around but at the end of the day, i still think i'll sleep a tiny bit better at night going with a ford performance tune. i dont need huge numbers and power, i need (cough) a nice little bump in power and hopefully some reliability and engine longevity

It's a bad look for Ford to be denying claims tied to a tune they are promoting as meeting their durability standards. I think so long as you follow their expectations regarding installation, and don't piss off your dealer, should be OK; certainly better off than if the issue was tied to an aftermarket tune.

I tow a 24' enclosed trailer with my truck. I lock out gears 8,9,10 and cruise at 65-67mph in 7th which puts me right at 2400-2500 rpms. That extra torque there would be perfect! Just wondering if the extra strain of towing heavy with an aggressive tune is a bit risky?
I usually do not mod my daily driver as a I have a s550 mustang that I have done a bunch of mods to, but this is very tempting!

No dealer needed -- easier than other tuners to update given ford will program through OBD port

You can do it easily at home, but the only way to get the benefit of the 3/36 warranty is via the following:
"Performance Packs and Components are warranted for factory-supplied material or workmanship when correctly and completely installed on a late model Ford vehicle by an authorized Ford or Lincoln Dealer, Shelby American, Inc., or an automotive service technician certified by the Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) or endorsed by the Red Seal Program (RSE)."
