The update will work fine. If you have NAV, download that pack and install, and same story for NON-NAV (8" screen). The small 4" screen has it's own installer, though those ones I think I've always seen the right files. The XML at the end will generate based on your specific vehicle.
thank you sir

Just updated. I had to use the VIN UofMEngineer posted to get the CM file. It still won't go back to the USB drive on restart.

Update success! 2020 XLT - I had to use the VIN UofMEngineer sent me to get the CM files, but install went fine. Took 33 minutes, and it wrote the xml file to the USB stick. Went to Ford site and it uploaded and now says my SYNC update has been confirmed. YAy!! Thanks to UofMEngineer for the help!!!

Do you mean re-source to USB media on restart?

*EDIT* --> Missed the PM. Will follow up there.

just did the update thanks to @UofMEngineer . biggest difference i noticed right away was how much better the audio sounded, i mean BIG difference, was blown away by how good it sounded. no settings were changed in the way i had it set up, but sounded like i had put a new head unit in. i have the basic system not the b&o and this is now one of the best stock vehicle audio systems i have ever heard. thanks a million!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I too didn't get the -CM file in my 20282 update from Ford.
Using the VIN from post 206, I downloaded/made a USB/ updated truck (20min) and all seems well now.

So, I also would like to give UofMEngineer a well deserved 'At-A-Boy'.
He'll probably need it one day, due to the Truism of Life that states, "One 'Oh Shit!' cancels out 1000 'At-A-Boy's' ".
Or, "Hero one day, Bum the next". :frown:

I really appreciate the help. Thank you, sir.

I guess I tried playing from USB while the system was finishing the update. Noticed the next time I drove the truck that 20282 is MUCH snappier than 20136. Stopped for about 20 minutes and play from USB came back to where it left off.:clap:
