How do you activate Bluecruise if its available?

You need to have the lane centering aid on, in the features tab under vehicle assistance. On the steering wheel turn the lane centering button on, dash should say it's on then. Then turn on the cruise control button on the steering wheel, If on an approved highway the dash will turn blue and say hands free.

I actually went back out this morning and mine began to work again, who knows why. Did see on some Mach-E forums as of yesterday that others having same issues where it goes in and out. Probably Fords side of checking you have it through connected services then seeing you are on a stretch of road approved through cell reception and maps, uses AT&T from what I've read.

Will have to give it a try. Thanks.

Question for those who shipped via Norfolk Southern. Mine arrived on July 28th in Winston Salem at 445am. Today the status changed to what sounds like RTMY (hard to tell from automated voice) yesterday at 653pm at the same location (WS). Anyone know what that means, like the truck was moved from shipping car to holding lot or something similar? Still waiting on my dealership to confirm the actual date it will get delivered there.

RMTY means the rail car is empty. Your truck is in a holding lot.

I gave it a try on a stretch of road close to home yesterday. Seems to work but a little disconcerting on the two-way road I was on. Will have to try it with an interstate to see how it feels.

I'd feel uncomfortable doing a two-way road also, one little sway and that's a terrible day. It'll definitely feel different once on an interstate. Were you able to do hands free on the two-way?

Woot woot mine was shipped yesterday at 11:55am via a Canadian national railcar. I would assume it's at the holding yard in IL already? Now hopefully it's not another waiting game for a semi truck to the dealership 2 hours north

I found a truck in stock a Lariat Smoked Quartz Metallic Hybrid 4x4!
I brought it home today.
No more raging and worrying about shipping delays for me!

Congrats. Pics? Did you have to pay a "market adjustment"? That is what kept me from taking one off a lot; I refuse to pay 3500-7500 over MSRP.

Nope. No markup. Same dealer that I had ordered a Maverick through and last week when I attempted to get an F150 but it was already promised out. He called me last night when this one arrived and offered it to me. I’ll post pics later it’s bad weather right now.

I wanted to clarify that there was no markup, but it did cost a bit more because of the trim package being higher, went from a 302A to a 502A.

Tried but it warned me to keep my hands on the wheel.

You won’t regret it. 502a is niiice!

Pictures of the pavement princess after her first wash. Really enjoying driving this truck.
