I got 3.5.3 a couple of hours ago '22 Lariat ER. Doesn't look like anything much new, however ICE trucks got this about 2 weeks back. I think this is the latest release on any of the trucks and we are all now aligned to the latest version. This should make it easier on Ford to now get SW distributed knowing all trucks are on the same version.

I was on the phone with Ford yesterday for an hour trying to get information on next OTA update. I have 3.5.2 and still waiting for PAAK feature. I get more up to date info on this forum! Thanks for posting.

Did not know Ford had OTA for ICE trucks. What model year did this start?
They've had them for several years including gen13 trucks, but only with Gen14 2021 models did they really start trying to rely on them and ever send much out for an update. They promptly bricked quite a few 2021 ICE trucks with a 1.7.1 update - you can read about that other places.

Now they are back on track and it looks like trying to get all the features of the ICE and Lightning leveled and the same. We run the same computers and most of the modules are identical.

Thanks I'm really liking most everything about this truck. I probably wont commit until I see the final Cybertruck specs and pricing. It's gotta have the Propower capability as a minimum. And Ford has to clean up their dealers so I can just go buy one without worrying about getting my price jerked around. I do understand how it would feel to be a dealer and have to sell at MSRP and have a customer resell it at a profit. I'm not willing to pay anyone over MSRP. Dealer or private. Probably be a few years before supply starts to catch up to demand.

Ford engineers are working on the software that will implement PaaK on the early build trucks. They don't have a solution to roll out yet, so I recommend you be patient. Neither your dealer nor the Ford help line can do anything to get PaaK on your car at this time.

I'm in the same boat. I'd love to be able to ditch this huge fob I have to carry around. I've been spoiled by PaaK in my Mach E.

That could be a long wait.

I got my 3.5.3 OTA and now my Lightning is a Mach-E. Actual corner of my screen below.

When I restarted it reverted to the Lightning icon. Super weird...trying to recreate what menu I selected to create the white Mach-E...definitely happened after the 3.5.3 update with PaaK which I guess makes sense. Maybe 3.5.4 corrects the icon issue?

I did just get 3.5.4 today Oct 27th and it listed the features added but also said it was an enhancement to 3.5.3. Haven't seen my Mach-E icon friend other than that one time and things appear normal after these two OTA updates.

I haven't received 3.5.3 or 4, but have seen the mach e show up several different times. Always reverts to truck next time I start it. Seems like a "boot" issue to me, as I have also noticed that the background won't be light/dark per outside light levels when it does this, but adjust fine when the truck shows up.

I just received notification of 3.5.5, (started rolling out yesterday), but my truck is having issue installing it. It has failed 3 times. I'm wondering if it is a battery voltage issue. It is cold here (at least for TX standards). This update will keep me up to date on everything except PAAK also. Don't know when they will think I'm worthy of that one.

Schedule your updates for late evening. Drive the car just before then. Plug it in to charge.

Low 12V can often be the cause of a failed update. My PaaK update failed a couple of times.
