There is a lot of good info in this thread: https://www.f150forum.com/f38/iphone-5-sync-207637/
However, Follow these steps exactly (props to @jgohlke for writing all this out).
The sequence seems to have a large part of it working or not.
1) Truck - Delete phone from BT device list.
2) Phone - Delete Sync from BT connection list.
3) Phone - Reboot. (Do steps 4 & 5 while you wait for this to finish)
4) Truck - Turn off, pull the key, open the door.
5) Truck - Close the door, restart.
6) Truck/Phone - Pair your phone fresh w/MFT. Let it finish.
7) Phone - Turn BT off.
8) Phone - Turn BT on.
9) Truck - Hit "connect" on the MFT screen to reconnect BT.
10) Phone - Go into the BT Profile Settings screen for Sync (little arrow to the right of Sync, in Settings, Bluetooth)
11) Phone - Set Notifications to "On".
12) Phone - Back up a screen and turn BT off again.
13) Phone - Turn BT back on.
14) Truck - Hit "connect" on the MFT screen again to reconnect to phone.
I did exactly this to my phone/truck when I was trying to fix my text messaging issues. I haven't had a problem with it since.

OK. I did this for my 4s and it worked, but I only can do generic texts. There are preset texts to send like "I will call you back" or "see you soon" ones like that and not personalized one? At least I have something but I am wondering if there is a setting I missed

When I first tried mine I got the same message, but now all of a sudden it is working like it should. I didn't do anything to try to fix it I just figured it was an issue with the Iphones.

Works great on my 2013 F150 FX4 both the IPhone 5 and 5s. We can read texts or listen to them. The Ford Sync system sounds an alert than gives us the option to listen to the text or read it on the screen.

Hi losttime,
Give the Clean Pairing a try first:
After connecting your iPhone, head into the Bluetooth settings on your device then tap on the blue arrow next to SYNC. On the next menu, there should be an option to show your notifications. After confirming that this setting is on, shut your vehicle off, then perform a soft reset on the iPhone: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Let me know how it goes. If things still aren't clicking, PM your VIN so I can take a closer look at the vehicle.
