It's not that black and white. Cell phones are designed completely in house. Ford and every other manufacturer (aside Tesla) are legacy brands that source their modules from several different vendors. When an update is finished by Ford, it has to go through the manufacturer of the module and back to Ford before it can be added to the OTA roll out process

Correct. However, the truck will always say "up to date" if there is not an active OTA trigger for the vehicle at the time you check for updates. Once you do get an update and you check again, it will tell you you are rolling with the latest and show the OTA you got even if it is not the latest OTA available.....it refers to the latest you have received.

Let me know if you want to be added to the waiting list. I have 2 Mongooses and will soon have a total of 4 as another member on that forum who does the same thing I do is leaving the country for 4-5 months and will be sending me his Mongooses so I can add them to my rotation and get to people faster.

They haven't done anything yet. I see several serial numbers for different APIMs on Ford side for your truck and I see that I have looked it up before. Refresh my memory: What's going on with your truck? It's simply too many cases on several forums for me to remember them all.
Then the next update (December) that tried to load crashed during install. Took it in again this week to fix that.
Also, I had the Trailer system error with the hyperflash turn signals.
