If you don't, then expect the updates I just mentioned to come in shortly after you take delivery of the truck. It could take a week or a month, but you'll get them. If you want, ask your salesman to tell the service advisor that writes up the PDI (pre-delivery inspection) they have to do to all vehicles when they arrive to ask the technician to check for updates and do them during the PDI process. I doubt they will do it because the PDI checklist from Ford doesn't specify checking for updates before handing it over to a customer (which is ridiculous to me), but you can try.
Thank you, I am preparing a list of things to check before I pick it up. I just added this to the list.

Congrats! I am happy to see more people reporting that dealers are getting better with these things.
I have Full Screen AA/Carplay and Bed Camera.

Sweet.

Hi, I’ve been reading a lot about the update situation and it seems like a real mess. I picked up my truck a few weeks ago but it’s a March ‘22 build and I doubt it’s been updated since.

Would anyone please be able to check where I’m at right now with updates? I’m worried I’m pre 2.8.1. My VIN is 1FTFW1E50NFA54373. Thanks!

No, these issues only affect 2021 job 1 trucks. Yours shipped from the factory with at least 2.8.3 on it. You don't need to worry about 99% of these issues. I'll check it tomorrow, but you're good to go from the get go.

He does not monitor this forum much from what I can tell.
Hey, that would be awesome. Thanks for helping me.

These issues don't affect you. Only early 2021 owners. As a matter of fact, your truck got an updates a week ago.

I will reach out to him and ask him for the files. Please note this is not a guaranteed fix. However, if it works, it will save you from a nightmarish process with your local dealer.
