Hey all! New member here having just gotten a 2022 Expedition Timberline. It was the Finance Manager's courtesy vehicle for most of last year until it was put up for sale in January. I was able to get ~10k off as well as special Ford financing that's available to clear out 2022 model years.
This is my second Ford, my other car being a Mach-E GT. We simply needed more space for our family on road trips.
The other big benefit is that both our vehicles now use Sync4A (15-inch screen) entertainment systems. But stepping into the Expedition is like stepping back in time in terms of software. The Sync4A system in Mach-E has been updated significantly, with benefits like:
- Dedicated Camera button for 1-touch access to cameras
- Volume knob can now be used for changing temperature and heated/cooled seats.
-Streamlined and improved CarPlay experience.
In the Mach-E, the Sync system is now rock solid. I can't remember the last time I had a hiccup with CarPlay connecting or any lag in the system at all. The Expedition is very clearly running some of the original Sync software, and in fact hard crashed on me on the way to work this morning.
Anyone with a newer 2023 or has had a 2022 Expedition for awhile... can you tell me what software version you're running? Has Ford been pushing software updates for these things? I know they advertise the 4A system in Expeditions as being OTA capable (just like Lightning and Mach-E), but I'm not sure if they have actually shipped anything.
I have access to FDRS as well as the necessary Mongoose adapter & power supplies to run updates myself if they're available there.
Thanks!
