New guy here looking at getting a rod or. For sure plan a tune and bigger tires. Do the new 2.7’s have options to tune?

I'm sure Diesel Freaks could take care of it, no problem, they are great folks!

No Tune for the 2.7L in the 2023/2024 so far. I am sure someone will get that worked out.
I have a new 2024, I trailered it to the tire shop and had the tires swapped the day after I bought it. I had a set of 235/85R16 "Load Range E" Rough Tread Tires installed with 30 pounds of air.

My Rock Stock 2.7L gets around ok for what I do with it. I drive on county roads, in town on city streets, and on the Farm. I am sure that I would/will be very impressed with a Stage II Tune to let the Horses Run, when one gets available. Until the Tune happens I am sure my machine will get around ok in stock trim.

Springs were mentioned. I have never drove an older machine with the softer springs to compare the ride. My new 2024 rides just fine with the beefed up factor springs. Between the Tall Tires and the Springs my machine looks like it has a mild/reasonable lift installed. It is high enough to need a side step to get in and out. When I am hauling feed or fire wood in the back, I am sure I will like the heavier springs even better.

I wish you luck. And, as was said above you can still locate left over NEW 2022's with a 2.5L.
Another plan might be to look for an older slightly used machine that someone else has already perfected. I have seen older machines listed for sale with less mileage than I will put on Rocky this month.

Looks like:
Tune
Wheels
Tires
Front Bumper
Winch
Shackles
Mini Light Bar?
Rock Rails
Side Steps
Seats
Rear View Mirror
Grab Handles
Bikini Top
Sound Bar

My rough math says you gained a few Thousand in extras. Most of which are worth having.
No idea what you paid, but you probably did well.

I added the top and sound bar, everything else was there. Lift/Bilstein shocks also from dealer. $26900.00 OTD.
