Yes it’s part of the maps data which you get with connected navigation.  Just had to renew ours on our 22 Nautilus.  Also includes live traffic info.

I think the point was to bring it over as an Escape replacement rather than restyle the current Escape.

The answer to imports might be there but not obvious at the moment.   Before recent times, there were tariffs on vehicles imported from China, so if the government can get an agreement with not too high tariffs, importing some Chinese vehicles might be workable depending on price.

Thank you!   Looks like they include 3 years and that starts when the vehicle was first purchased.  $80 a year after that.  Kind of spendy if I will only need/use it for speed limits in the area.  

John Cater and the Cater family are good people.

Not unless you paid for them.  I thought Lincoln's have a 5 year subscription automatically.  Unless they changed that.   I have a 2020 Escape.  I paid for a 5 year subscription.  But I'm on Sync 3.  I'd say try this site.  Enter your VIN.  Worst it can tell you is what you'll have to pay.   https://www.ford.com/support/sync-maps-updates/

I hope Ok to post in this forum.   I recently bought a 2023 Lincoln Corsair and it shows the speed limit on the dash along with the heads up display.  Is that part of Sync 4 Maps where as when my trial is over, there would be no more updates?

*allegedly.......until they cancel it last minute     I don't understand - how would bringing another Chinese model solve the Nautilus assembly from China issue?

Sounds like cafe needs to be reevaluated. If it’s preventing companies from making smaller cars, then it’s doing the opposite of what it was designed to do

Ford EV Program Cancellation Cost Company $100 Million In Q1 2025   Last August, The Blue Oval announced that it was canceling plans to build a new pair of three-row, all-electric SUVs at the Oakville Assembly plant, which had previously been delayed from 2025 to 2027. At that time, Ford noted that this decision would result in a special non-cash charge of about $400 million for the write-down of certain product-specific manufacturing assets for those models, and the decision may also result in additional expenses and cash expenditures of up to $1.5 billion. Now, we’re learning that Ford wrote off a chunk of that loss in the first quarter of this year. Ford’s Q1 2025 financial reporting outlines a $100 million dollar loss in the first quarter for the line item dubbed “EV Program Cancellation,” which is not something that it absorbed in Q4 2024, it seems. However, there is a line item for “Extended Oakville Assembly Plant Changeover” that totaled $300 million in the final quarter of last year, which makes sense given Ford’s decision to pivot away from those two EV SUVs and go in a very different direction.
