As @kodiakz mentioned; your truck has 3.5.3 in queue right now. The OTA trigger was sent to your truck 12 days ago and expires in two days. It is stuck trying to download the files it needs from Ford. This is the second time you get this update, and it is looking like it is the second time this update will fail to install for you. There is nothing you are doing wrong and there is nothing you can do to help the update go through. The problem is on Ford's side, as this is a very common occurrence with this particular update.
@rugedraw well it looks like I am on the wait till they send it again list as 3.5.3 does not appear to have downloaded as no full screen car play. Does it show any reason for failure such as low battery?

Yes, the OTA trigger timed out. There is no error message......it failed for the same reason it has failed for many others: It was not able to download all the files it needed from Ford's servers. There is nothing you did wrong and there is nothing you could have done different. That particular update has been very hit-or-miss since it was released.

@Kanuck My truck downloaded 4.3.2 on Wednesday afternoon but would not install it on Thursday morning despite my having charged the battery to 100% before that attempt. I subsequently spoke with a Ford OTA specialist who advised me that a precondition for installing the 4.3.2 update was to have driven the truck for at least 30 minutes continuously after the update had been downloaded. I took the truck out for a 50 minute drive for good measure, returned home, and got the update to install successfully.
Thanks... Will wait for it to download.

Your truck is good. they replaced the apim it is at the correct level. You will have to decide on how you want top update. Either manually or play the waiting game for OTA.
Thank you so much!! Im going to take it to the dealer for an update and battery replacement since the SOC is always below 50%.

It has been sitting in your queue since 5/3, but it has not tried to download any of the files. Have you started or driven your truck at all the past few days?
you do have a tcu update queued and your gwm just completed pu update so you should be receiving 4.2.4
Thank you both. I drove my truck on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Not sure why it's just sitting there. I'm not going to complain as I like the Securalert feature despite rarely using it.

your truck is stuck on very old firmware 22062 and have not seen any ota in recent history. fdrs shows several updates which, once completed, will likely trigger several more. you need to manually get the updates going

Thank you so much! Now to see if I can actually get one of the Ford service departments in my area to call me back. The couple around here suck!

Would anyone be able to check my VIN for updates from FDRS before I pay for a license to update it?
