Ford Dropping Ball by Not Rolling Out OTA Updates more often

[invertedspear]

Probably because the MachE doesn't tow.

I wonder how OTAs are different in Europe then, since it's rated for towing in the EU, just not in the US. I wonder if the software in the EU version has some unlocked towing features, similar to ours where you can put in the weight of the trailer and such, or if they just leave it in normal and the GOM is even more terrible.

I'm sure those things can be enabled with FORScan by someone that knows what they're doing. Same way we can enable glare free headlights and turn signal cameras (while towing) that are not native to our vehicles.

Forscan just lets you change variables to activate/deactivate things that are already there.

Any hints on which values need/want to be changed in Forscan? I recently did all the available FDRS updates (except BCM, which was blocked) and Bluecruise is definitely different, but I don't see any new controls to activate.
