Has anyone else received an email from Ford offering early access to Bluecruise? I received an invite email yesterday. After signing up, they state that I will be notified in upcoming weeks by email that the update is ready to be used. Not sure if it will be ota or at a dealer? The $600 will be required at that point for 3 years of activation. Kind of psyched to actually be able to drive hands free on most highways.

No, my build was Jan. 21st. Other than that I didn't do anything to get an early invite.

I got the email yesterday and signed up. My understanding is that the update will be done via OTA.

I received something and have the option that allows me to add it. The gentleman's comment its hands fee is not totally accurate. Your required to keep hands on steering wheel and eyes focused on road. Many time I have been reminded to keep hands on wheel when cruise control is engaged or the it will cancel it. Same with Blue Cruise. Additionally a camera will check to make sure your eyes are on the road too. So $600 for Three years is reasonable and I may give it a try, but only good for long trips not in town, I prefer to be in control around town.

Got the same thing. About a month ago, I got an email from Ford inviting me to join the early access program for evaluating new software features; I promptly signed up. Then yesterday I got an email from them saying Blue Cruise would be rolled out to that program, and I again signed up for that. As mentioned above, they said it would be in the coming weeks.

I don’t identify anything I did to prompt this; likely it’s just random picks of people with trucks that are Blue Cruise capable. Of course, it could be my dashing good looks and charming personality…

Ford F-150 Received invite for Early Access to BlueCruise update 1628113564438


BC is principally available on interstates & major highways. As the map shows, those of us out West get slim pickings. BC is advertised as hands-free, Erik...unlike lane centering. And yup, Ford put an informer in the cockpit with us, just to make sure we're not reading War & Peace. I'm glad to hear about the invitations, even if I didn't get one. I'm keen to give it a try.

hmm.. I’m curious, your profile says you have an XLT. i thought bluecruise was only available on the Lariat and up. I have an XLT so if this is available spill some more details. :)

Well, you just made me search every folder including deleted and spam for every possible combination of blue and cruise and bluecruise. No dice :(
Can someone please post a copy of the email?

I want to email them ASAS. I’ve been trying to figure out how to get on the early access program for the F150 because I am all into tuning and other things, so it would be amazing to get ahold of these updates sooner or even it beta form.

I have over $20,000 in options, might as well be a lariat. The one that gives me the BC option is Ford Co-Pilot 360 Assist 2.0, connected Built-in navigation (3-yr)

"Be one of the first to experience Ford BlueCruise" was the email title on the one I received.
