nice! I don't have alexa just the Google feature on my phone. But the vehicle starts so much quicker this way than through the Ford Pass app and long pressing the start button to only get a "failed to start" message.

Might be old news but did anyone know you can use ok google to start your truck by setting up routines within ok google? I sure didn't... 
I find this easier to do on the cold mornings than opening the app and waiting for Ford Pass to load. For someone reason on my phone the app opens slowly or the app just restarts. Now I just say "start my truck" and it starts and I can "shut off truck" and it shuts off and doors remain locked.

If you have "ok google" enabled on your phone say "Ford Pass to start my truck". You'll have to link your Ford Pass app to Google.
Once you login it'll tell you to create a four digit pin that you'll have to give everytime to start. But to override this create a "routine" in ok google settings under "routines". Then under actions type "Ask Ford Pass to start engine with pin XXXX" under starters put "Start my truck". Add same thing but to shut off truck. Then you won't have to enter the pin anymore.
Anytime you want to start the truck from here on out all you have to say is "start my truck".

And, my fob will start the truck from inside the house while the truck is inside the garage 50 yards away from the house. I have the ford pass app thingy and I used it once to see if it worked but, it's so slow I just use the fob instead.
