2 mile commute.....omg thats a rough journey :eek:
The way I drive with my tuned truck, I probably put as much strain on the power train as someone who drives 20 miles a day. ?

Just to add on, 07/2021 truck. Got 4.2.1 on the 26th and 4.2.2 on the 27th both OTA. Also here is the current sync info. Oh and I don’t remember seeing a “hands-free” expiration date before.

It's a 1/4 mile walk from the RV to the mailbox at the front of the property.
So when I get back to the porch to sort through the junk, I'm halfway to work?

Us rural folks can't really imagine. It's a 14 mile round trip to get milk. ?

If my commute was 2 miles, my Ford extended warranty would be 10 years/10,000 miles?

You know how people here drive. Right by my house, there is a street where there is dedicated lane to turn right, but people use it to skip the line of people trying to go straight when the light turns green. Since I have lived in the same neighborhood for most of my life, I am privy to that little trick. Anytime my truck is the first car at the light to go straight and the light turns green and some asshole is trying to pull that stunt on me, I load the chassis, release the brake and punch it with the AWD on. The look on people's faces when my 6000lbs behemoth of a truck blows the doors off of them is priceless every time. lol

Got 4.2.2 last night, updated on it's own about a day after getting 4.2.1.

No issues with CarPlay, Pandora still comes up nicely like before. However, one thing I though was a little odd was the headlight setting after the update. The truck was chiming at me when I turned off the engine, took a while to figure out why... I leave it on Auto (and generally don't touch it at all) or perhaps switch to Off to await updates, but it always defaults back to Auto. Not this time, not sure why, but it was apparently on a manual "On" mode after the update.

My commute isn’t much longer, 2.75 miles if I remember correctly. I no longer take the most direct route and go out of my way to stretch it to 4 miles.

I hear ya on that! When waiting for updates, I take the "long way" 6 miles instead of 5 to work, and hope for a little traffic. ?

4.2.x is bad. As "minor" as the issues are they irk me everytime they pop up, which happens fairly often for me. I exclusively stream music just because I want to listen to what I want commerical free. I may end up throwing some music onto a flash drive and try to avoid the Sync issues until an bug fix happens.

As nice as OTA updates are, introducing issues like these is definitely a downside to it.
