What sucks even more than not getting the Sync 2.0 and someone the next day picking up a vehicle that has it, is the fact that your maps would still be two years old and the next guy gets more current maps that you will probably have to pay $150 for if Ford ever starts providing updates. Sync 2.0 will come for free, but map updates, we are guessing, will cost.
Or, is Ford possibly issuing the ver 15 maps for free update on 2016s? Probably not, but who knows.
I'm an IDIOT. I was talking crap about Microsoft who did the Sync and Sync 2 which is crap when BlackBerry, the dead company that no one respects or believes in because they refused to leave 1990, makes your sync 3.
Either way, still a s*** product. We can argue all day on this but that's my opinion and I am sure you have yours
Maybe you should spend some time with AcuraLink (I came from a '16MDX) or BMW iDrive and then we'll talk about infotainment systems that are crap. Ford's Sync system has always been lightyears ahead of those

And yes my maps are 14 ...... But I think I get free map updates for 5 yrs....I'll have to check that one to confirm though.

There's 15235 trucks between the two. It would be interesting to know the plant and build date for the Sync3 v2 truck compared to yours.
My truck that I ordered just arrived at the dealer yesterday and I looked at the sync 3 and it shows ver2. My buddy just got his truck about a month or so ago (he factory ordered his also, so it's not a early 2016 build) and it has ver1. He tried to update but nothing came up. Also on mine there was an android auto button but I haven't got the chance to play with it yet as I don't have my truck. I got this picture when I was looking at my truck on the lot.

Having used both I can tell you that Sync 3 is substantially better than Sync 2 was. The main difference is the speed and responsiveness. There are a couple areas where the interface took a step backward, but overall its a better product than Sync 2 was.
