Or do you have to pay the $600 fee for it for 3 years to use blue cruise? Is it in the price already?

Awesome thank you!The $600 is baked into the price of the truck for the Lariat ER and Platinum.
Can’t wait to try it!All I can say is it is worth it whether you have to pay the extra or not (I believe it is baked in). Took a 500 mile road trip (each way) for work and drove my wife's Mach-e. Blue cruise covered 85 percent of the driving on the way down (I head back tomorrow) and it was the most relaxing drive I have ever done. I didn't think I would like or use it nearly as much as I do, but it is really great!
On our Mach-e, the Blue Cruise system acts just like this on any road that isn't mapped, you just get to go hands free on those that are. I didn't expect that to be nearly as nice as it is in reality!our 'lane centering' and 'adaptive cruise' on our new Kia PHEV Sorento work great - and it doesn't take 'major' roads or highways - it works on most ANY roads. I'll say that it's also not a capacitive 'touch' on the wheel, but it requires you to physically 'move' the steering wheel in order for the system to know that you are there - it's not much, by any means, but just enough - it's really easy. The system will alert you on-screen at first, for about 15 seconds, then an audible alert is added for another 15 seconds, then the system is disabled if you have yet to move the wheel.
WE have over 5,000 miles on the Kia already, in slightly over 1 1/2 months, so a LOT of long driving - and I've never been more relaxed in long drives - you find yourself relaxed, instead of tense.
If the LIGHTNING comes with anything like this, I'll be quite happy.
Should be day 1. It was only OTA for the early Mach-es because the software wasn't ready yet, but it has been out for a while now.Does blue cruise come on day one of receiving the lightning? Or do we have to get an OTA update?
I agree with @sotek2345 - should be there day 1 as it is on the 2022 F-150. There are threads about the 2021 F-150 - they required OTA updates and their OTA updates got stuck.Does blue cruise come on day one of receiving the lightning? Or do we have to get an OTA update?
It’s included on the Lariat ER? I thought it was only the Platinum?The $600 is baked into the price of the truck for the Lariat ER and Platinum.
No, it is on the Lariat.It’s included on the Lariat ER? I thought it was only the Platinum?
