How do I determine which Alexa features are available for my Ford vehicle?

Both Alexa Built-In and Ford Premium Connectivity offer similar features for navigation, voice control, and more. The main difference between Alexa Built-In (Base) and Ford Premium Connectivity (Premium) is the ability to stream. 

Note: Wi-Fi is not required to use Ford Premium Connectivity.
