I'm thinking I should tell them to let a little air out of the front tires. What do you think?


A couple of pounds too much in the fronts.

Anyone with a early built 2022 still not received any updates? Auto updates turned on but I've never got one I know of and wondering. Can someone check my VIN perhaps? 1FTFW1E85NKD19743 Thanks

Just had my 2021 build1 in yesterday for the 2nd time. First time they told me they did all the updates but as soon as I got in the truck I could see that the automatic updates were still grayed out and I couldn't turn them on and also it wouldn't show my version number. I immediately had them come look and they acted shocked since it had been updating for 4+ hours and supposedly completed all updates successfully. Now yesterday I had it in for the 2nd time and they couldn't get it to update, called Ford who told them that "they have turned off auto updates to my truck and also it wouldn't work for the dealer to install". They said they did this because there are issues that need to be fixed with the updates before they will allow my truck to receive any more update (and there are many updates still waiting for my truck). So basically they are saying I'm SOL until further notice. My truck hasn't received an OTA update since June of last year so we are coming up on a year and they still have no idea when they will have a fix. I asked about getting a new APIM but they told me Ford won't authorize it since my truck isn't throwing any error codes. This is bull****! When you spend over $50k on a new truck you expect everything to work properly. Even the little things. Has anyone else been told that they are locked out of receiving any updates (both OTA and dealer installed) until further notice>

I went through the same dance about a month ago. It took 3 trips (mainly because I refuse to let them have it over the weekends) to get updated, and two or three calls to Ford for instructions on how to proceed. The last update finally took, and my auto-update slider now works. Have patience....it will get there.
And enjoy having the most first-world car problem ever. Runs and drives great, but has issues updating itself on the internet.

Thanks for the info!

Just now got this OTA Update!


5/4/2022 What's in This Update?

Ford Power-Up 2.8.3 The functionality of your rear view cameras has been improved. For starters, some camera views are now available while your vehicle is in motion. To monitor your cargo area or trailer, simply press your camera button and use the center high-mounted stop lamp camera (if equipped) or rear view camera, or watch the view from a trailer auxiliary camera (bought and installed separately). We’ve also added a Picture-in-Picture (PIP) capability to the Trailer Reverse Guidance feature, so you can simultaneously monitor two camera views. This split view allows you to view Trailer Reverse Guidance cameras and your choice of either the center high-mounted stop lamp camera view or the trailer auxiliary camera (bought and installed separately) at the same time to ensure the best visibility while backing your trailer into the tightest of spots.

That's the proper pressure if you have 800 ply tires.

That's a ridiculous comment. When you spend $50K (or. In my case, nearly $70K) for a new truck and it's still missing features that you PAID for over a year ago, only a fool would accept the fact that the vehicle they paid huge money for isn't operating as it should nor as promised and it's no big deal.
