GPS for what, exactly? Navigation?

Your truck head unit would not be able to use the GPS from the phone directly - BUT you can use a USB cable and use Android Auto to get the map app of your choice (Google, Waze, etc) on the truck’s display. The phone apps will use the GPS from the phone just like they do when you’re not in the truck.

That is correct. Bluetooth pairing will give you audio for phone calls, texts, and music. Everything else will require Android Auto and a wired connection.

Although there are several USB plug-ins that allow you to get rid of the cable. I've used one with my 23 Hybrid XLT for some time with good results. Do a search on the forum for wireless connection and you should find a number of results.

I use this wireless plug-in to connect my android phone in order to use maps and apps.

I use the AA Wireless Android Auto Dongle (got it at Amazon) to get "wireless" Android Auto on my '24 XLT.

I use the "AAWireless Two - Android Auto Wireless Adapter - Convert Factory Wired Android Auto to Wireless - Multifunctional Button - Easy Plug and Play Setup - Seamlessly Connect Via Bluetooth", purchased from Amazon in my 2024 Lariat Hybrid.

I get Google maps without plugging in. (25 XL).
