No recent OTA history on your truck. Last recorded OTA was June of last year. Your truck is communicating fine with Ford, though. They just haven't shown you any OTA love for some reason. I don't see anything wrong with your truck and there is nothing you can do to force an OTA being sent to you.

 

It is because I have basic work truck as many would say. Thank you for looking into it. The collective knowledge of this group astounds me everyday as many like you have vast resources and experiences with these vehicles. It is truly appreciated.

Last recorded OTA was in January of 2022. That does not seem normal to me, but it could be because your truck is 300A trim that doesn't have all the bells and whistles that require more updates. I am sure you have plenty of modules needing updates.

 

It seems to be stuck on 3.5.2

 

Because your last update was over 60 days ago, I can't see the details of it to confirm that. It sounds possible, because 3.5.3 is an OTA that many people have reported difficulty getting it to install. That's the one that gives you full screen carplay/android auto. Chances are, it was sent to your truck and failed, but if that is the case, it happened too long ago for me to see it. I see your Fordpass is connected. Do you have anything in your messages that show 3.5.3 failing?

 

No

 

I don't know what to tell you then. There is no way to force Ford into sending you an update. Calling them won't help. This is why many people have taken things into their own hands and invested in the tools needed to update the truck themselves.

 

what do I need to get to do it myself?

 

A Mongoose VCI cable that costs $540 and a 2-day subscription to FDRS which costs $50. You will also need a 10amp minimum battery charger to keep on the truck while performing module updates and a 32GB USB flash drive as some modules are updates with that.
