Radio

""There are times when I start my truck that the radio comes on right away. But then are times that I can drive 1/4 mile before the radio will come on. It is also very slow at responding to changing between formats, such as going from radio to USB and vice versa. It has had 2 radio software updates, and the problem still exists. Updates are the only resolution that I have received from the dealership, which haven't solved the problem. I strayed from Ford to buy this truck, but my next truck will again be a Ford""
