Watch this video, the steps are important. If you don't have your hands on the wheel and looking forward when it's letting you know it's available, it will not engage. Check the video, it's helpful. Only 4 min long.
Blue Cruise Demo
I have 23 platinum, these are the sensors as discussed. If you are not experiencing "hands-free" perhaps you are not traveling on mapped BC roads. The true hands-free (BC) option does not kick in unless you are on a mapped road and even then you need to have hands on the wheel for it to engage...
True Hands-Free, meaning no hands needed on the steering wheel while driving... AND enjoying adaptive cruise control is pretty special to me and one of the reasons I bought my truck.
My Blue Cruise cares not if cars are around or not. Blue Cruise has disengaged if it senses I need to take control. Say the road takes a turn with a heavy grade or bridge that has a transition in the road. If that transition in the road causes the truck to get bouncy, it can cause the Blue...
Just picked my 23 Platty up from the dealer, they were working on the rough 4th-3rd gear. Only had it for one day. Was told the software needed to be updated. For the record, when I would check software updates in the Sync UI it showed all was up to date prior to my visit. I've been driving...
Yikes, thats a sign of the times right there. Not so long ago there were zero options to drive off the lot, much less like for like. Mine is going in tomorrow morning for the random clunk I get from 4 to 3. Since there's no repair procedure in place from Ford at this time regarding the "extra...
What's up with the transmission? Asking because I have less than 1k on my 23 150 Platinum and 3rd going to 4th I sometime, not all the time, experience a cringe-worthy clunk. Saw the attached recall notice on a different thread. My truck was built in Dearborn November 11th. When I search Ford...
My 23 Platinum was built November 11th and definitely falls under the Dearborn category. When I check recalls on my vin, it says nothing at this point. That being said, based on the language of the bulletin, it could be that they just haven't put the solution in place at this time therefore the...
Much appreciated. Do we know the current impedance of the speakers in the center channel? If not, I'd greatly appreciate an update during your upgrade. Looking forward to your build.
Personally, I'd be happy with just a gain control on that center channel. To me, that's the source of all my issues with the system. It has tons of potential. The positioning & imaging of the speakers is very good, it's simply overwhelmed by the center level. Perhaps someone has a suggestion...
I can speak for the 2023 Unleashed. Having bought the most loaded Platinum 150 I could build, this being my first Ford and first Truck, I was super excited. Even if I didn't get features I wanted (supply chain BS). Absolutely love my truck!! Super smooth ride, great features and comfort. I'm a...
Have a 23 Platinum BAP 150 with CCD, Blue Cruise, all the goodies I could get. Like you, I'm shocked just how smooth of a ride this truck has. It feels like a luxury ride. Gets a bit squirly on bridge transitions, meaning bouncy. Can get weird if the transition is on a turn. Blue Cruise will...
DELIVERED!!!!
Happy to say, I have received the truck as of 1/26/23. Loving it!!! Took 5 1/2 months, which is shorter than many, just glad it all worked out.
Good Luck guys!
