New Sync version 3.4.22251
There are several things that need improved in sync 3 (especially on the vertical screen). So far after going through the complicated process of keeping updates current I haven't seen much (if any) improvement. Your experience may vary.- greeman

New SYNC Version out Today (Oct. 16/22) V3.4 Build 22200
Downloaded and updated my 2020 today. No problems until I tried to re-pair my Samsung S22. After attempting many different things I gave up and performed a hard reset. After that everything was fine again. Seems like Ford's software is a little buggy most times. Shows 3.4 Build 22200 now.- greeman

Is it possible to change the portrait (premium screen) back to the landscape version?
I sure would like to replace my 10.1 vertical with the landscape also. Amazing to me what a downgrade the larger screen is! Shame on Ford for not addressing this.- greeman

Gas Mileage in 2020+ Explorer
My 2020 platinum V6 long running average sets at 19.2 (which includes a lot of idling while the wife is in stores). On road trips average is 24.4. I have the auto start/stop turned off all the time because it drives me crazy to go dead every time I stop for a light. I don't baby it ever. I...- greeman

Sync version is up to date. It pops up when I put trans in drive and goes away on it's own. My sync always worked flawlessly until I had the rear camera recall performed.

Yep, the guy from Autostartstop Eliminator informed me that the latest flash disables the device. He told me I would just need to unplug it for a couple of minutes and it would reset and start working properly again. I'm going to try that later today.- greeman

Was set to buy a Palisade Caligraphy or Telluride SX Premiere, Ended up with a 2020 Platinum
Yea, I remember looking at and driving a Telluride (certainly a nice vehicle). I looked at the sticker and there was an add on charge of $3000 for AMV. I asked the salesman what AMV was and he replied "Appreciated Market Value". I said "No thanks"- greeman
