Does anyone know if this is available for the 2019 Ranger?
Thanks

Go here: https://owner.ford.com/tools/account/how-tos/keep-your-sync-up-to-date.html

Enter your VIN. See if an update is available for you. Mine says no. I'm on 3.4.20136, which has caused issues for many so I don't recommend updating to it if it's for some reason available. I believe they pulled it because of the issues. We're all still waiting for the minor update to 3.4. It was supposed to be out end of Sept, but it's not here yet.

Looks like they did not pull it.

Mine is even dumber - I get this:

Your SYNC system will be updated to SYNC3 v3.3.19052

AWESOME! I will get downgraded!

Avoid this update. It does speed things up and it's a new look (I like the UI better) but it causes more issues than it fixes.

Mine used to say that. At some point my truck sync'd () with the Ford mothership in the sky (truck might've hopped on open wifi somewhere?) and it started reading correctly that I have the most recent version 3.4.20136.

What are the issues?

What are the issues?

Mainly that the climate control UI has disappeared from the bottom tray of (seemingly) 90%+ of the people who've downloaded and commented on here. Me included. You can do basic climate controls with the physical buttons, but we're missing a lot of climate control ability without the UI. I've also had an issue where my unit completely goes dead while I'm driving the truck after a certain amount of time. Haven't seen that issue here elsewhere, but it didn't happen on 3.3. It's a nice update. But we're all waiting for these fixes before recommending other people download it. Just search around for the 3.4 issues on here.

Wow that is not good. Will definitely hold off then.
