There are many reasons why Ford always adds so many new features and capabilities to their models each and every new model year. But one of the big reasons for that is that Ford needs to give people a reason to trade in their older Ford models for something new, otherwise people would just keep driving their older Ford models year after year after year – because those older Ford models are just so capable, dependable and fun to drive. But this year, Ford has decided to help out those who have stayed loyal to their older Ford models for so many years, now allowing those models to be upgraded to include a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot, enhanced smartphone control of existing key fob features, easy access to vehicle health and security reports, and upgraded vehicle location tracking capabilities. So, read on it you’ve got a non-modem-equipped 2010-2017 Ford model to find out how FordPass SmartLink allows you to upgrade your old Ford.
