All:

Has anyone had any experience with the Bluecruise system, perhaps on another vehicle since the ST doesn't have it yet ? I'm interested as to your thoughts on it, good, bad, other. Did you think it was a worthwhile driving assist ?

We have a 2022 Mach E, which came with 3 years of bluecruise. It's ok, I would say it's only worth it if you drive on the highway a majority of the time and suffer from driver fatigue easily.

I used Blue Cruise for the first time the other day in my 25 ST for about 50 miles. I was really impressed but probably will not sign up after my three month trial based on the $75/month pricing.

I've easily got over 30k miles of hands free BlueCruise over the past 3 years and needless to say I'm a fan. I travel for work and it really makes a difference on those long drives. Don't really use it much for the short highway commutes around town, but when I'm getting out of town it's a must for me (if vehicle is equipped)!

I really like my hands free on my 2024 F-150. It’s great for long road trips but cost way too much after the free trail expires.
Ford really should make this a standard without charging for use.

I’ve only used it on the test drive of the ‘25 ST but was impressed. The braking felt more human than Super Cruise.

As others have said, they really need to lower the price, GMC is at $25/month for Super Cruise and has a ton more roads including non-highway roads and auto-lane-change. $75($58 if you pay yearly) is ridiculous. I’m curious what the subscription rate is, I’m sure it would greatly increase if they just matched GMC. I love the feature a lot so I’m currently trying to decide if it’s worth it.

Whats the reason for the charge? Like all the hardware is already in the vehicle, why is this needing a subscription? Just curious I don't have Blue Cruise in my 2020 just adaptive cruise.

My assumption would be to help with the costs of adding more roads and features through updates. I can understand a subscription service to such a feature but it needs to be more in line with their competitors.
