So I just purchased my XLT FX4 302a with the 360 copilot assist 2.0 option. About 10 minutes after leaving the dealership on the highway I got a phone call on the sync screen and was fumbling with trying to answer it. As I looked down apparently the guy in front of me slammed on his breaks and the truck started flashing red and beeping and avoided me rear ending the car.

Very grateful for this feature and would recommend anyone on the fence to get it!

What exactly did it do for your? Just the beeping alerts for your attention, or did it take an evasive action for you?

Did it automatically apply the brakes for you? Evasive steering maybe? Sorry, my current truck is a 2002 F150 so I have no idea what the new trucks can do. Someday maybe Ford will build my ordered truck and then I won't be so clueless.

Not sure, but I think the 'collision avoidance' feature will apply the brakes if something is sensed rapidly approaching the front. Won't steer out of the way, but will help when a turn is initiated.
I believe this is a standard feature across the board.

(Gonna have to look into this a bit closer)

I have no intention of testing this out, 'cause if it doesn't work as I interpreted it to work, chances are pretty good the front of the truck will get bent. Want no part of that.
