Any reason to install Ford pass app now? I think (not sure) I read somewhere you can track your truck after it’s brain come to life. Is that true?
Tracking will work only if a transport driver clicks the accept connection on the SYNC screen.

do you have any idea if that happens only on rare occasions or they usually do?

Based on monitoring every 2022 build week thread, though not tracking specific data, only a minority of trucks see the accept connection occur, I and many others waited for the tracker to update to shipped, got a rail code and train spotted the rail car movement, then the final mile hauler pickup and delivery as a substitute for actual GPS location data from the truck.

Thanks for helping out a newbie with this valuable info. Last one today: where will I find the rail code? somewhere in my Ford account?

Only a customer service agent or your dealership sales manager or ordering technician who have access to the VVR or its recent successor (name escapes me) can see the rail codes

I hope there is no timer that starts when I nickname mine (like free connectivity/mobile service period, ...). Now you got me thinking about the nickname........Sparky must be taken, how about Mater?

@Maxx, I thought you already agreed to be the pessimist in this thread? Well, if you won't do it, I guess I will have to...

Now filter the data for Maryland:

Just got bumped to 12/5 build (from 12/12). When I saw the email, I was expecting to be going the other direction. I will take it.
