Default F150 GPS Location data

New to the forum but have a question. Have a 2019 F150 and asking if the location data can be pulled and searched. Looking for data from 2020. If it can is there a document on this site with the process?

Thanks

No. To my knowledge, that data, at least that far back is not stored anywhere. Ford might be able to provide data to law enforcement but even that is doubtful. If they can, there is no public document stating such or how to do it.

I don't think so but if you have the same phone you had during that day you can probably check it out.
I'm wondering now who it is that 'borrowed' your truck to figure out where it went to.

We had a similar question a few days ago with a person asking how to find out where the truck was driven to because it was picked up from the shop with less average MPG than when it was dropped off. That thread also resulted in "I don't think you can track your vehicle"

Depending upon when in 2020 you want to search, you can pay the cell carrier that the trucks talk to a whole lot of money to pull the pings for the truck, if the truck's cell was active. I think they still receive handshakes from inactive cells, but ignore them and don't retain the data.
