Also, why does it seem that there are so many different user experiences with the same app? People seem to have access to different tabs and functionality. It is intuitive to me that having all vehicles/apps updated (except EAP) to the same level of software/firmware and functionality would be easier to manage for Ford. But I am not an IT guy, so perhaps I don't know the whole picture.
Keep in mind that some of the population are making configuration changes that enable certain views, FoMoCo doesn't sanction these types changes.

Ha hA>.

Well thank you for checking.. If you get the APIm update can you check again for me? I really would appreciate it..

Or if you notice it gone in the next few days.. let me know.
Just got this update:

Ford F-150 Lightning ECG2-25.2.8.5 UPDATE Screenshot 2025-11-21 at 8.59.51 AM


And after the update, mine is still making the same noises (that annoying whooshing sound) on shut down.

Ok, thanks for letting me know and following up. 25s have a newer ACM, IPC and DSP than 24s.. maybe thats why..

Thanks for checking

I just got this and the Sync update in the last few days. After this update though, has anyone noticed that their drive mode will not stay in sport mode even after hitting OK on the popup screen?

Generally I will turn the truck on, buckle in, and hit OK on the dash prompt to stay in sport mode. Prior to this update, it would work every time. Post update, however, on an intermittent basis, the drive mode will revert to normal (after going into sport mode for a moment) even after I hit OK when prompted. I will have to go into the settings in the Sync screen to put back into sport mode.

Haven't yet tried a 12V pull or anything since I'm due in the dealer to get my door keypad replaced.

It is indeed a new bug that was introduced. There is a thread around somewhere on this topic.

I left a voice feedback from the truck’s feedback app. I recommend others do as well so hopefully it gets addressed ASAP.

You're a gentleman and a scholar. I thought I was going nuts from lack of coffee.

Yes sir, that is the last fo the trio. THe TCU.

Back in the day it was a glorious thing to get the main three updated. They typically update Gateway, APIM and TCU together.

Did it update the laws of physics? Or did you drive slower?

There is no increase in efficiency it’s how you are driving bro. I have had this update for months. Nothing got better or worse

I see you're in Houston and likely bought in 2025 based on your handle, it came down to ideal weather, I'm not far from you, and traffic conditions, I get about 1.9 mi/kwh on my way to Houston, then once I'm actually in, it crawls up to 2.1-2.2 even after 160 or so miles of 1.9.
