Unlock More From Your Truck: Top FordPass Features Every Owner Should Know
Typically, Ford truck owners use their vehicles for work and rely on getting things done as quickly and fuss-free as possible.
Thankfully, Ford’s range of truck models offers useful features both inside and outside, like FordPass, that help you get more out of your truck.
What is FordPass?
FordPass, now known simply as the Ford app, elevates your truck ownership experience by connecting your smartphone directly to your truck’s embedded modem, allowing owners to perform remote functions and view live health metrics.
All Ford truck models from the 2021 model year and newer are equipped with built-in FordPass Connect modems that integrate with the smartphone app.
What does FordPass offer?
Typically, many Ford owners simply download the FordPass app when taking delivery of their vehicle and use it only occasionally. But the more owners understand this convenient ownership tool, the more valuable it becomes.
The FordPass feature is the ultimate sidekick for drivers on the go, and Ford owners will appreciate standard free core features of the app that include:
- App Download on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store
- Remote Commands for start/stop, door lock/unlock, and locating your parked truck via the integrated map GPS
- Remote turning on of air conditioning to cool down your truck parked in the blazing sun before getting in
- Authorized Driver Access allows secondary drivers to lock, unlock, and start your truck through their own device app by sharing login details.
- FordPass Rewards allow owners to earn points for Ford purchases and redeem them for Ford Service, products, subscriptions, or even toward the purchase of their next Ford
- Roadside Assistance
Owners can customize their FordPass to best suit their and their family’s travel needs with software, services, and upgrades. Owners get to activate available trials, purchase services, and manage services like BlueCruise, the Ford Connectivity Package, and the Ford Security Package through their FordPass.
Further core features of the FordPass include Vehicle Health Tracking with the convenience of live statistics:
- Check your fuel level
- Distance to empty
- Odometer reading
- Monitor real-time tire pressure
- Fluid levels
The FordPass also provides access to recall and alert history, with instant push notifications for relevant factory recalls, security alerts, and active diagnostic warnings.
Software Updates are available in the FordPass app to manage infotainment, connectivity, driver-assist systems, and other vehicle functions, helping keep your Ford performing at its peak.
How do I get FordPass for my truck?
The first step to enjoying the convenience of FordPass is to download the Ford app and sign in with your newly created Ford account.
Owners will then need to add their truck to the app garage using their VIN, then refresh the app to access all its features.
It is important to note that the availability of FordPass app features can vary by truck model and vehicle capability.
