Quick Update, I talked to Ford and here is what he told me.
A brand new diesel = 75,000 points
A brand new gas vehicle = 42,000 points
A brand new electric vehicle = 22,000 points
He also said the dealer used all of my 75,000 points to pay down my Ford maintenance plan. Now I have to look up my paperwork because I don't remember that being the case.

Google and Apple maps will not factor in trailer measurements when creating routes. I believe Ford Nav added trailering info in 2023 on Superduties. My truck came with 3yrs of Connected Navigation.
The Ford Trailer Routing sucks. If you turn it on, It warns you about bridges coming up, Regardless of your trailer height. I set my trailer at 11' tall and I'm getting warnings of 16'6" bridges. Same goes for weight restriction, With trailer routing on, I get warning of weight restriction as I approach bridge. even though its a new overpass with 3 lanes in each directions, that has 80,000 lbs semi's crossing, my 13,000 lbs horse trailer gets a warning. It drives me crazy to have that trailer routing turned on. I had to turn it off.

Sounds like it works as well as the rest of the Ford navigation system.
When I was using the connected nav, it would beep and give some sort of warning, but the message would go away before I could turn my attention to it and read it.
Google maps isn't a whole lot better, but I do like the full screen satellite view it gives.

Well that sucks. I guess that leaves Garmin (https://www.garmin.com/en-US/p/850475) and others. I really wish they would make app options so we didnt need to buy their hardware.
I purchased my truck on Monday and my points showed up yesterday. I used some of them to buy a bug deflector and a pair of front wheel liners. Rear liners are not in stock right now.

There are nav apps that have truck routing, but they are subscription, fees to get all the features.
Supposed to work with android auto and carplay though.
