BlueCruise 1.4 is *officially* rolling out

[fvineyard]

Also got mine a while back, I have to say though, in-lane stability seems WORSE than it was with 1.2, but I definitely get more hands-free time on my route.

I have the same experience. Most noticeable when following another vehicle and more pronounced with larger vehicles like an 18 wheeler. 1.2 was quite a bit more stable in the lane. I have learned to increase the following distance to make for a smoother ride with less in lane bounce. No more drafting for me

Positive notes are BC does work in a lot more in more areas than before, for much longer, more consistently engaged, and lane changes are quicker and more confident.

Overall more positives than negatives so happy with the update.

I wonder if an update will come out for those of us who don't have blue cruise, but just have adaptive cruise/lane keep. Be nice if that didn't bounce around in the lane so much or get super confused on trying to steer into turn lanes.

Still waiting for my update.

While on the highway, tap your blinker and see if truck changes lanes. If it do, you have BC 1.4

That’s not true, 2024 came with 1.2 which had lane change.

Keep em’ coming!!!

PS: The ability to open the frunk when climate is remote started without the vehicle turning off would be great! Would also love an option/setting to get rid of the favourites bar to get a bigger map/carplay/general app area would also be nice. And the phone button thing in that recents area for CarPlay should just be a CarPlay tile and not always go to the phone app in CarPlay. Just whatever app was opened last.

Hi F-150 Lightning owners, BlueCruise 1.4 is "officially" here and rolling out to 2022-2024 F-150 Lightning vehicles equipped with BlueCruise via an over-the-air software update.

Depending on the model year, the software update will take eligible owners from BlueCruise 1.0 or 1.2 all the way to BlueCruise 1.4. As a result of BlueCruise 1.4, you will experience:

• Longer engagement in hands-free mode for a more continuous experience on the highway — around tighter curves, for example – with fewer interruptions requiring you to put your hands on the wheel.
• Greater in-lane stability and less side-to-side movement within the lane. In fact, BlueCruise 1.4 reduces deviations from the center of the lane by nearly 80% from version 1.0, based on internal testing.

If you have BlueCruise 1.0, it is important to know that with BlueCruise 1.4 you will also experience:

• The ability to make a hands-free lane change on the highway when the path is clear simply by tapping your turn signal with Lane Change Assist.
• More space when driving next to a large semi-truck with In-Lane Repositioning, which subtly shifts your vehicle within its lane.

BlueCruise 1.4 is also shipping from the factory on 2025 F-150 Lightning. We have already rolled out BlueCruise 1.3 to 2021-2023 Mustang Mach-E vehicles.

You may say that I'm late to the party, but there's good reason. To help ensure a smooth and successful software rollout, our process is to send software updates by model years within each vehicle line. This is because every model year is unique and requires a different software package, involving complex updates to multiple system modules and in-vehicle display screens.

We hope you enjoy BlueCruise 1.4 – let me know what you think.

Happy BlueCruisin’,

Really?

I wasn't aware of that.

Really?

I wasn't aware of that.

Yes, I received 1.4 a couple of weeks ago, but always had lane change.

 

[deltalightning]

Logged into Ford's site, my update history says that it's been more than 90 days since I got an update, so assuming I'm still on 1.2.

 

[carys98]

Does any of this apply to those of us without BlueCruise? Will we get the features such as in-lane stability and repositioning?

 

[jdmackes]

Let me see if I can get you an answer on this.

I'd appreciate an answer on this as well, as I haven't received any updates since December of last year, and only 2 in the 2 and a half years I've owned the truck.

. Early Christmas present to me from ford?? (Still waiting)

Enjoying the BlueCruise 1.4. Super happy with it.


As a reminder. This BlueCruise page needs updating. I have used this as the official source of info on what version is available.

Those of us who haven’t gotten OTA updates for over a year. Any chance we could get the dealer to apply this via a CSP?
