My window sticker indicates the hot spot is free for three months which I assume you need for Ford Pass.
Two separate things.

I am an old man. I try and stay up with the latest gadgets, especially those on my soon to be delivered Ranger. That being said, I can’t reconnect my sound bar to my smart tv without summoning my kids assistance. I now very well know, thanks to those here who are much more tech savvy than me, Ford Pass and the hot spot are separate gizmos, and like me and the lead signer from the Cars, unrelated. We just spell our first names the same way. I’ll go sit in the corner with my downloaded owner’s manual.

Free for a year?! Its one of my favorite features! Bummer...this is unfortunately one I'll likely need to renew.
Why isn't it free indefinitely? What's different?
Look here what Generac offers as support for a $1900 generator...
Monitor your standby generator from your mobile device with the FREE MOBILE LINK APP
Mobile Link offers an iOS® and Android™ app that is free and downloadable for customers on the iTunes® App Store, Google Play™ and the Amazon Appstore. With Mobile Link, owners can view their generator’s status and maintenance needs, set the unit’s exercise schedule, review it’s running and maintenance history, and receive push notifications to indicate status changes. They can even arrange to send notifications to their local dealer. This makes maintenance easier, since dealers can spot any issues in advance and can ensure the generator is operating smoothly, no matter the homeowner’s location.

You do not need the hot spot for Ford Pass. It can run off your home WiFi once you set it up.

My Ford Pass App updated this morning and a picture of my truck finally showed up. Then there was a message that I earned 42,000 reward points for free maintenance.

And you ordered on 1/22? What the heck thats ridiculous. I guess your delivery date is determined as the purchase date?

Did you prepay? My purchase date is certainly the day I picked it up.

My delivery date and purchase date are the same, 4/11. My reward points came exactly one week later.

Chevy does not. My wife is paying monthly for hers.
The remote start, lock & unlock were free on our 16 Silverado. You had to pay for OnStar and the emergency services if you want them.

Wife has a 18 Equinox. Can double check, but pretty sure she is paying
