I received my last power up on the 12th. When I click to see what was included on the ford pass app, the page never loads to tell me. There is just a button and clicking it doesn’t pull up anything.

I received this update last night and today when I went to get in my truck, the fob didn’t work at all. I had to use the key in the fob to manually unlock the door and then the truck had an alarm on it. The gauge cluster told me the alarm in the truck was going to sound Unless I pushed ok. I pushed out several times and the truck started freaking out a little, so I just hit the push button start and everything acted as normal after that.

anyone else have any issues like this?

Sounds like the symptoms of a deep sleep mode and thus the pats system is offline and not reading the key fob.

I have 2 cars that will do the same thing if not driven for a lengthy time. It's a battery management tactic that even vehicles older and less electronically sophisticated have.

Both of those cars require a mechanical key unlock if they are in deep sleep. The Miata (2016) will then give a few seconds before the alarm goes off for the fob to be recognized and you lock/unlock the door.

The 2005 Porsche 987 sets the alarm off no matter what. You then mechanically lock the door again and use Keyfob to unlock it.
If you are fast, it only honks 2 or 3 times.

The difference between the two cars and the Powerboost is how much natural parasitic draw exists in the vehicles. The cars have a small fraction of the potential draw that this truck has.

I had a Ridgeline before my F-150 - now THAT was a helluva built in cooler!
I had a '89 econoline with a fridge/freezer, now that was a great time for camping and other events.
Man I miss that van, looking forward to my 7.2 KW PB to relive the good old days.

That's basically an echo of what I experienced, which is why I has asked if anyone knew whether it was one or two updates? Even stranger to me is that I manually installed the GWM update that suddenly popped up for my Job2 2022, so was one of these (3.1.1/3.5.2) a GWM update? I highly doubt this truck had 2 GWM updates in 2-3 days, but I guess it's possible?

Only other possibility is that FDRS update didn't update the cloud records and so OTA attempt was simply redundant?
It is very possible. I got the 22-PU0727-VI-FXA GWM update OTA on 9/6, and I manually updated my truck with FDRS on 9/15 and there was GWM update in FDRS already. Had that OTA been pushed to me a few days later, there would only be a 3 day difference for me, as well.

Company I worked for had these as "fleet cars" they were awful, but the coolers were a nice touch.
I worked at a GM store back then so drove quite a few of them. They actually rode pretty good.

And looks aside, they had some pretty neat features like the aforementioned coolers, the tent / mattress accessory and if I recall they could come with a built in air compressor and radio controls in the rear cargo compartment.

I mostly just tell her "Alexa, give me a route to Eagle Lake", and she does exactly that and I never touched a thing. Why would I disable that? Lol
So do you have to hit the voice command button on the steering wheel like you do to activate siri?

No sir.
Just talk to her. She's alive in the dash somewhere. :)
Good to know. I was prompted a few times to set it up... I think usually cause one of my girls pressed the Alexa button on the screen but, haven't gotten around to doing so.

Is Alexa just a free trial thing like the Nav that comes with the trucks? (Not the connected nav)

Alexa in the truck is no different than Alexa in the house or on the porch. She's no charge herself, but the streaming that you might request (music/movies) will require bandwidth. So however the bandwidth is funded is up to you. If you want to use the truck's optional AT&T LTE service, that's something like $20 a month or $200 annually. But you can leverage your existing cellular service as a Hotspot if you choose?

Of course you can just stream your music from your phone instead. There's so many ways to skin a cat with this platform.

3.6.0 will turn your center console into a beer cooler and will bring vertical takeoff and landing capabilities to Lariat and above.
Just got 3.6.0. Mine’s just an XLT so it came with Coke instead of beer.

Forgive me if I'm a little confused; actually, a lot.

I've checked my updates and I'm not even close to what you all are posting. My build is 02/2021 (early on) and yet my update is sitting at something like 2.87. I've tried to manually update and it indicates I am all caught up.

That takes me back a bit. My parents bought a new Pontiac '86 6000 STE which had a compressor driven load leveling system at the rear. The bonus was they added a aux compressor line in the truck w/ attachable hose just like this.
Ahead of its time...
