Curious your thoughts…should I use and drive as I would, or should I pursue the dongle and force updates?

only thing I feel I’m really missing out on are the ev routing in Apple Maps (new updated iPhone not recognizing car as an ev yet), and update to use Tesla chargers on road trip we’re a couple weeks out from.
I will never steer anyone away from getting the Mongoose and doing things themselves. It's a fantastic thing to have in your arsenal. You can use it on your vehicle, family and friends, and future vehicles and always sell it and get most of your money back when you're done. To me, it's a must-have.

your previous comment that it’s a bit behind…does that mean there are pending uodates I can push to it? I understand I can update the modules, but the core software itself too for sync?

Yes. Your sync is two versions behind the latest.

OTA 6.1.0 was sent to you earlier today. Next time you start your truck, it will allow the OTA trigger to go to the next step and if all goes well, download and install the update.
Awesome! Went out and started/stopped the truck after I saw this. 10-15 minutes later the update showed up as successfully installed! I'll have to ask you about my status more often. :)

Thanks for your help!

thx in adv!
I am assuming this is a vehicle you are looking to buy? It does not have a warranty start date yet, but somehow seems to be connected to a Fordpass account already. If you do buy this vehicle, make sure the modem is taken out of fleet mode and switch to retail. The modem being in retail mode will affect the ability for the truck to get updates it needs.

Thanks for the help!
Last power-up update was 6.4.0 followed by the Tesla update and the connectivity update. Modules pending updates are below.

Yes. Looking to buy. Thx so much!
Looks like its getting updates, assuming thats because its in fleet mode. Also is there any way to discern if the 12v battery module replacement csp applies to this vehicle?

Thx

This vehicle has not gotten any updates sent to it, and the fact that the modem is in fleet mode is most likely the reason why.

No open recalls listed in PTS for this truck.

If you get a chance could I get a screen shot of the tabs, Vehicle ID and Connected Vehicle? VIN: 1FT6W1EV1PWG36808. Thanks.

For "connected vehicle", I assume the OTA dashboard is what you want to see as there as more than one option there.

For people considering getting one, keep in mind that you also need a semi-beefy power-supply(not charger) to do the updates by yourself, so in addition to the $540 Mongoose "dongle" you're also looking at another $300-700 for a power supply and the $50 2-day license (or $900 for a year).

All that being said, I do agree with @rugedraw, it's a fantastic tool to have in your arsenal.

You checked mine a couple months ago, but I'm hoping maybe there is some activity now.
I still haven't seen any kind of updates or anything.

PTS is down and I am unable to pull OTA history, but unofficial list of modules pending updates is below:
