Does Your FordPass App Show DEF Level?

So if I add in the TCU module to my 2017, will that provide what is needed for FordPass to work properly? I'm asking cause I did this on my 2016 F150 and had most of the features working. Wondering if it's worth the extra money to add it to my F250? Guess I'll start looking for a TCU unit and go from there.

I DEFinetly dont have this. 2019 f-450 Lariet Ultimate with latest version of fordpass.
Also, no where on my dash, is a DEF distance to empty in miles. I just have the DASH def guage that always shows full.
phooey.
Still here for now

This seems to be hit or miss. We have two 2022 F-450’s… one is an XLT Reg Cab, the other a Platinum Crew… only the XLT shows DEF level in my app.
Never even thought to look at the differences until I saw this thread.
Verified my in vehicle comm settings are the same and enabled on both trucks.

does anyone with sync3 have DEF status in their ford pass app?
I have a 2019 and can not go to sync4 due to hardware limits...we are stuck on sync3.
the distance to empty is of interest to me...some folks have this on their console as well...I dont....I have a def guage that always shows full...no distance to empty stuff.
