Do all year SCT X4 tuners SKU 7015 work with 2017 Mustang GT? I have a couple of guys selling some locally used, but the both list them as 1996-2014 Ford vehicles.

The X4 will indeed work on a 15-17 mustang with no issues. Have you looked into an Ngauge? We switched over to them on our last few project cars and never had a reason to go back to the X4. If you'd like more info on the Ngauge give us a shout and we'll be glad to assist you.Do all year SCT X4 tuners SKU 7015 work with 2017 Mustang GT?

I get that you may be able to save some money by finding a used device however keep in mind you'll want to make sure that the device works and isn't locked to a vehicle. If it's broken or locked to a VIN then the money you think you were saving just cost you more in the end.I have no particular preference between the 2, never used either and never tuned a Ford before. Only reason I asked about the SCT x4 is because there are a couple in my area for sale used for cheap, much cheaper than the nguage new. Currently my car currently has a Ford Performace Pack 1 tune, but I intend to install a 2018 IM and airbox this summer so will need a tune for that. I don't plan on any more mods in the foreseeable future after those, so in theory I will upload a custom tune once and maybe some tweaks after that to dial it in and forget about it.
Just to be clear, I am talking $700 in CDN funds, without a tune. I am looking at closer to $850 for a Ngauge with a tune, again in CDN funds. Currency exchange, cross border shipping and taxes & duties all add up.@poncho@home
A tune from any tuning company is going to cost the same whether it's a x4 or ngauge.
Ngauges new are $400 same as x4s, your seeing the ngauge for 700 that includes the tune. Lund will sell you a ngauge with a tune for 570 as long as you dont have extra modifications i.e. intake manifold, injectors, supercharger...
If you have an extra $100-150 I'd definitely go with the ngauge.
As some else mentioned above it will make the dataloging process of getting your tune squared away much easier. X4 can only save 1 datalog at a time so I have to have mine connected to a laptop when I want to record multiple.
Hope this helps!
