There is no way to predict when an update will be sent to you and no way to force an update to be sent to you, either.
I knew the 6.4.0 was the last OTA update I received. I don’t understand why if there’s newer updates for updates and get the newer ones. You have to wait around until from what I understand your VIN rolls back around for the update through Ford to push it out.

Three years at almost a million trucks a year and everyone schedules their trucks to update while they are sleeping...it would take a lot of computer power to roll everything out simultaneously...
Hmm...that gives me a thought...I'm retired, I could get updates just about any time. I wonder if I would get them quicker if I move my schedule to mid-day...

Now that's a thought! Possibly another advantage to being retired - besides not working!😂🍻

Yea, you're also missing the 6.x.x updates as well as some PU updates. I have seen many vehicles stop getting updates around the time yours did. The truck is fine. You just have to wait for the OTA process to get to you. Once you get one, you will most likely get a lot more shortly after.

I maintain OTA history on the thread below. There is a github link that may not be up to date. The F150 excel sheet attached to the first post is fully up to date.

Thanks. It’s at the dealer now for some recalls as well as some “you are in battery saver mode” messages. I know sometimes low state of charge affects it. I did mention to dealer I’ve not had any updates in quite a while. In any event, thanks for your help. It is appreciated.

A bad battery can greatly affect the ability for an OTA to install, but it has zero effect on an update being sent to you. You have to first be sent the update before a poor battery can affect the outcome of the update.

That makes perfect sense. Thanks.
