The '11 and up 5.0's are very capped at the factory to allow for 87 octane, but if you CAI, Intake, some exhaust and a good tune, they really wake up on 93 or da corn...
I've been running ken osborne's omega (www.tuningbyoz.com) tune on my truck with excellent results, '17 F150 5.0. Able to run any fuel or a mix of any. The omega is available for '15+ 5.0 mustangs and '11+ 5.0 F150's. No reflashing for octane changes, fill it up and go. His tune is what 90% of the F150 crowd are running.

Ehh I wouldn't say 90% maybe more like 20%.. There are a ton of guys using ssi, mpt and vmp. I had my old truck tuned by ken when he worked for mpt, was a horrible tune, have nothing good to say about it. I've seen guys on fb rave about it. That tune also leaves a good amount of power on the table if that's what your after.
I can only think of one person that I've chatted with about the truck stuff that hasn't been happy with the omega, believe he was running mpt tunes. The most active F150 group i'm in pushes it like its the next best thing since sliced crack.
I bought 5 tunes from mpt and the omega and I ran the mpt tunes for maybe two weeks. I've got 6600 on the truck now and it's been tuned since the 1k mark, the trade off in a tiny bit of power for better drivability and the ability to not be stuck running one specific fuel in a daily driver without a reflash is worth it to me as E85 is only available at one station near me and I end up in places where they don't know what the fuck 89 is even. Remember the old analog gas pumps? You'll have to pry them from their cold, dead fingers.
