Should this be done?

I have a 2020 SCREW with 25,000 miles. I have the Ford ESP and maintenance plan.
I went to the dealer today for my prepaid service.
They recommended annual/15,000 mile (they said it has never been done on my truck) HVAC system service for $169.99.
At the next visit (30,000 miles) they recommend fuel injection service at $199 and air intake induction service for $199.
Assuming that I will not do these myself, are they things that should be done to maintain the truck in good working order or is this some dealer made up b.s.?

Don't let them touch your hvac system, if they put gauges on there, you will lose a bit of refrigerant. If you need to, you can change your cabin air filter yourself, theres no other maintenance needed on a modern vehicle other than keep the condenser and rad clean. SCAM!

I'd consider an induction service on the eco... Known for carbon buildup.
Gen 2 EcoBoost is dual injection. Carbon buildup on valves typically affects DI-only engines that are run on low quality fuel.

As others mentioned, none of those services are recommended in the owners manual. They’re service department upsells.
