Yes, the upload worked fine. I do use NoScript extension in my Firefox browser and have set it to not block Java scripts on the Ford site... the first attempt to upload (a few months ago) showed me that was needed.
Can you explain to a Firefox rookie how to not block Java scripts on the Ford site? Thanks.
There is an Extension called NoScript (for FF, Chrome, Edge, etc.). Install it. How?? In the upper right corner of the window is the 3 bars; click it and then select "Add-ons and themes
Still failed to upload. Ugh. Makes no sense that some can upload and others can't. I keep hearing it's a problem at Ford's end, but if that were the case, shouldn't everyone be having the upload failures?There is an Extension called NoScript (for FF, Chrome, Edge, etc.).

Get to here:
Type in "NoScript" as above and search.
Get to here:
Click install.
Now you have:
Click it and read through the options.
Once set, you should see it here :
On ANY site you visit, the default is "Block all scripts". One of the setting is o allow scripts from the top domain to be "temperately be allowed" to run.
You can see which scripts are allowed or not by click the "S"...
You can, as I have here on Ranger5g.com, permanently allowed the scripts to run. Over time, you will learn which one are needed to run the site, and which are just "spy" scripts.
Note: some sites use only few... to start. Then select nearly anything on the page, and the list explodes to 15, 20 or more!!
Here is what I use for the Ford Sync site (also note: NoScript remembers your choices on each site, so the next time you visit, you don't have to go through the selection process again):
That should do it.
I am going to PM you...
sooner or later, yes. but it resumes the next time you park. and the next time. it's ridiculously slow, and in my experience will never ever finish if you're just sitting there staring at it because it takes too long--but it will eventually get there, little by little. I have no idea why it's so slow--crappy wifi hardware? crappy network stack? who knows. But if you calibrate your expectations it'll get done with no need to stress over it.
Absolutely regarding NoScript!! Thanks for the post.
You were spot on! Went to the truck this morning for a Loew’s run and noticed the screen was different. I checked and all software was up to date. Took about a week. Sped up after I changed to ATT fiber optic internet a few days ago. It is set to auto updates and I will never mess with it again! ??
Glad it worked for you. Keep an eye on the heat settings as that's seems like the only area I'm having trouble with.
Correction.....my USB is formatted to ExFat, not Fat32. @PltFX4 (Rick) has been a HUGE help. By removing the VT's from my XML file, I was able to upload it. That's the good news.....the bad news is that XML file was from my 22000 update. The truck did not generate an XML file when I (successfully) updated to 22151. So, even though my 22000 XML file uploaded, it doesn't "stick"....we think because it is looking for a 22151 XML file. Hope that makes sense. At this point, I think I have to wait for the next update and hope that one generates an XML file.FYI: AzureRanger was having trouble getting the .xml file to load on the Ford Sync website.
Don't know why (he uses a Mac for what it's worth) and his .xml has this in it where mine does not:
That "VT" when loading the xml into a browser gives an error at Line 78 column 28. There are about 6 lines with that "VT" as part of the LineFeed sequence.
Once the "VT"s were removed, the file uploaded just fine on the Ford Sync site.
Edit: AzureRanger updated me that it appears not to be Mac related and he was using FAT32 as the format for the USB drive.
