Or just keep what you have because it's running great without wasting hundreds of $$ and tens of hours.

Nah, it's not black and white. Of course I care, hence why I started this thread .
The fact that I am not going to spend hundreds of dollars on equipment to manually update my SYNC version does not mean that I am OK with Ford not being able to do that on a > $60K truck, I just chose to keep it safe because (knock on wood) I am not experiencing any issues with my current version. I don't care about Alexa and I didn't prep for BlueCruise, so I don't feel I am missing anything.
Add to that the numerous "Update gone wrong" threads. As you said - to each their own.

Just my $0.02 worth.....

I agree that your taking a chance when updating your truck E.G. Latest BCM update. Also, it is nice to have some of the systems updated so they work smoother and work the way they were intended to work. Ford will only allow an update if you have a "CONCERN' with your truck. Sure, there are lots of trucks on the road with the factory installed/ OTA updated versions. I have been in the teck field for years and I like to have the latest and greatest versions I can. Some updates I have done or received, I have not noticed anything different, but I willing to bet there is an improvement. But again, this is my thoughts.

I have always "jumped" on updates for everything, sometimes it "cost" me (one recent Samsung update killed my phone). I am capable of fixing it by resetting the phone and start fresh, and I always keep the previous model at home as back up for cases like that.
But when it comes to vehicles, I don't have a back up, I can't be without my truck. Worse than that - I don't want to be without my truck and it certainly is not worth it to me to have my truck stuck for weeks at the dealer's.

For me personally, there's far bigger reasons to purchase another tool for my toolbox (Mongoose) than to update Sync to the latest version.
Having had a Job1 2021 Powerboost for just short of a year, after several updates, including 2 PCM updates, that truck simply was more polished in so many ways. It ran better, shifted better, and had less quirks. I believe I applied 24 various updates to it by the time my special order Job2 2022 arrived and I traded it in.
And yes, the 2022 arrived better behaved than the 2021 was when new.

Some of the continuous development and improvements aren't something that will ever be delivered OTA. And a dealership wouldn't update the truck unless it was brought in for an issue to begin with.

As for not wanting to be without the truck? That's the #1 reason I invested in the tools. The never ending saga of stories dealing with getting an appointment, and then leaving it with folks that are either apathetic, clueless, or.......

If I can go the entire ownership of this truck without ever getting near a dealership, the FDRS/Mongoose/Forum might be the best option I have ever purchased for a vehicle.

Still, I get that it's not for everyone.

Well said ..not for everyone but sure feels better to know my truck running most recent ...after I did all mine it just felt more polished maybe placebo but hey it's enough to justify it ha .

Mine currently is SYNC Version4.0.22294. Truck ever since the updates has been in at Ford for the loss of the Yaw sensor ability and will not use the stickers for trailer setup. Lost both. Changing the APIM today, with a Engineering rep coming in from Kansas City. TRM and IPMA both replaced. Been at Ford for over 2 months. Considering ordering a 2023 F250

They are probably swapping modules and putting the exact same config data on them. If i had to guess, The config in the IPMA is off. Total guess though.

Update, Now have lost all trailers in the system and will not setup a new trailer. The engineering rep is at a loss on what the problem is. they have admitted to throwing parts at it. Trailer was hooked to another truck and was successfully added. Just not on mine. This all started after taking in for the numerous recalls, and getting the first Power update through Ford. Will get software version when I go pick up truck and wait for them to decide next move.

Mine says SYNC 4, Software Version: 23045_PRODUCT

Not sure how far behind I am. I've had my truck for 3 weeks and haven't received any updates.

23291 is the latest software version. This thread has a link to a spreadsheet of all the OTA updates.

You are a bit behind on updates. If you post your VIN in this thread someone with access can see what updates you need and have pending.
