Bunch of BS. You would think Ford would have the brains to add an up to date technology system that is upgradeable. Ford builds an awesome truck but the technology is lacking. How hard is it to design a powerful hardware system, and then just push software updates to it? Maybe design something that runs off of android or iOS. Looks like GM has you guys beat in this area. I like how their trucks come with wifi hotspots now.

True, but it's nice to have it integrated in the infotainment system. Truck would always be connected to Internet to allow app updates (weather, news, sports, etc.). I assume you can stream pandora, spotify, etc thru the trucks Internet service also outside of using your phone.
