Yes, MFT is the same with the exception of the software being 3.7 in the 2016. You'd notice very slight differences going from a 2011 to a 2016, but nothing too noticeable. If you're really liking all of the SYNC 3 features and can wait, I say why not wait.

Thank you for all the info. As usual it's Rebecca to the rescue
It's just that we're drooling over the Explorer Platinum and would stand in line for it except for the MFT/Sync. It is so discouraging that Ford's most beautiful car is last to receive the most important fix. It doesn't make sense but I guess we'll wait until we can get our hands on a Platinum to make a final decision. Right now, I can't stand the thought of having a new car with old technology that I would have to live with for another 5 years or so.
Can I update the 2011 to 3.7?
Regards
You're very welcome! Unfortunately, the 3.7 update is for 2014 + MY vehicles. This is due to differences in other (non-MFT related but still semi tied into MFT) components that aren't available on the earlier models. Since you really, really, really, really want SYNC 3, sit tight a little longer. In my opinion, it'll be well worth the wait.
