Maybe Ford needs to refigure how to push out some of these updates if so many trucks have problems receiving them.
Update to update fiasco:
Just had 2 more failed attempts at 4.3.4 this week after driving 1200 miles in the last 5 days. For a truck that tests out as far as the battery and charging system (as per dealer visit) goes I would think the battery is fully charged. If the update is too big maybe Ford should get their head unburied and figure something else out.

It is believed by people that know a lot more than I do that the 6.1.0 and 6.2.0 GWM updates are precursors for BC 1.3. If the next set of updates are for the IPMA and IPC, then BC 1.3 is right around the corner.

YEAH!!! We need some 2021 job 1 love!!! I have stalled out after the 4.2.x updates I received a few months ago. Maybe they are on a new round now. Regardless, if these are updates that will drive the new BC 1.2/3 if/when it comes to us, I do not plan to pay the $800/year after this extended free subscription ends at the end of the year. Generally pretty happy with where the SW is now anyway. At least I know what works and what doesn't.... ;-)

I think Ford is trying to push out BC 1.3 before the end of the year, so that those of us that have BC can try it while we still have a little bit of the free trial left hoping we'll renew.

I hope it comes soon, I have a 1,200 mile road trip the week before Thanksgiving, I would love to try it out then!

I have gotten a few updates in the past week or two. 4.3.5 came in today. Now I have a BCM on order because my bed lights no longer work.

APIM is most likely the one that updates your digital owners manual and brings your sync up to 23159. PCM is the one that warns you if you leave something plugged into the pro charger when you try to drive off. The others I'm sure can be correlated to one of the OTAs on the OTA history thread in f150gen14 forum, but don't remember off the top of my head.

Oncev you do the APIM, a GWM may pop up which is 6.1.0 and then another GWM will pop up which is 6.2.0.
