Ford Connect

[Dan Kobler]

When I was in visiting my dealer they mentioned that Ford was moving away from the free for 5 years model on all 2019 vehicles. That now you only will get one year free then it will be a subscription type service after the first year in order to have all the features of Ford Connect. Has anyone else heard anything similar to this or heard anything on Subscription pricing?

Yes, I'm still confused.

I'm glad I'm not the only one.
