Try this link - its for the '21 Everest but I think the Everest and Ranger use some frame, engine and interiors, etc. https://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/vdirsnet/OwnerManual/Home/Content?variantid=8492&languageCode=en&countryCode=USA&Uid=G2090729&ProcUid=G2044276&userMarket=THA&div=f&vFilteringEnabled=False&buildtype=web Have someone change the display language to English and set up Ford SYNC on the vehicle display screen. My SYNC is setup to my home Wifi and auto-checks for updates when I park or start the truck. If they do not have home Wifi, set it up to use a phone mobile hotspot. My software version is 3.4 and was last checked on 12/24/22 Hope this helps. ...dw

I struggled with this too - especially with the increased usage of 2-step-authentication a few years back. For voice calling I signed up with (localphone.com) for a local incoming USA phone number using an area code that is in my USA mailing address area. It costs $0.99 USD per month and calls to USA land or cell phones is $0.005 per minute. The service just does not support incoming text very well. They have an iPhone app that does work for in/out calls. When I call people, they see my USA phone number and assume I am in the USA. For Europe calls, you could get another number - they just cost a bit more per month. For 2-step-authentication, I ported my USA cell phone to Tossabledigits.com. I am on the "Lite Annual" plan for $40 USD. Calls or texts go to my email in seconds. Look them up for all the options. So for less than $5 per month, I have - for the moment - removed this burden. Hope this helps...dw
