My screen froze and I couldn’t change the climate controls or anything else. Is there a way to do a hard reset? Did a search and couldn’t find. Thanks.

With the truck on, hold the Volume down and advance button (arrow pointing right) at the same time on the steering wheel until sync reboots.

Wouldn't this be called "Reboot the SYNC system"? i.e. The SYNC screen froze up so I "rebooted" the system.

A "Hard Reset" sounds like it's a full reset of the system and settings back to factory defaults. Which is something you can do but shouldn't unless selling the truck or directed by Ford.
