Automatic Lane Keep with Cruise - What new hell is this ?

[Pelican]

yes, you can disable it, located in center screen

Or on the steering wheel of a 21 lariat

Once the cabin is comfortable, 67 degrees + heated seat + massage = the only way to put miles on the truck

What is more pansy massage seats or C rated tires? (Not tellin' which I have)

How does this not immediately engage Bluecruise? I engage cruise and then lane keeping and then hands-free comes on. I assume I am missing something here...

Both lane centering (essentially hands-on bluecruise) and hands free BC is automatically engaged when cruise control is turned on if your truck is up-to-date. You can tell if your truck is up to date with its software if, when engaging cruise control, bluecruise/bluecruise hands free engages.

Ford is really bad in their marketing, if they were smart they would just call it bluecruise hands on or similar. Too late now to call it bluecruise standard and bluecruise plus. How bad of a marketing and engineering team do you have to have to not have loads of vehicles marketed as having bluecruise!? Instead they have a shitshow of copilot 360 names which is poorly executed especially when "360 cameras" is another option.

On way home from work, enabled cruise.... then turned off cruise and the LKA stay enabled. So even after turning cruise off, still had to manually turn off LKA. So I guess the LKA haters and lovers have to manually turn it off no matter what. We can enjoy this hell together.

I think there's some confusion here with lane keep assist and lane centering. Lane keep assist is the system that will either nudge the wheel or notify you that you're departing the lane. Lane centering better referred to as hands-on bluecruise is not LKA. LKA can be disabled entirely and is not part of hands-on bluecruise (officially Copilot 360 assist 2.0).

Those two are the most confusing! ?

Here I corrected it for Ford, enable cruise and IMMEDIATLEY (yeah f---ing imediatey) disable lane centering) before lane centering drives you off the road. Way to go Ford programming. Hiring the best and brightest... yeah right. LOL.

If I'm going down the open highway on a road trip and no other cars are around, then yeah, slap that 2lb ankle weight on the wheel and stretch my arms and relax. But in traffic on a daily commute, having to touch the wheel every 15 seconds and having the truck stray closer to the right side of the lane with my tow mirror on the white line when there is a good three plus feet available between the truck and the yellow line is just silly and then it keeps fighting me when I try to get it 1-2 feet more centered. That's why I call it keep even though it is probably centering, but it really isn't centered, lol. Would be cool if there was a way to adjust it like an aperture; 3, 2, 1, 0, -1, -2, -3. Would you consider using lane centering on 295 during rush hour in ATL, ehh, prob risky. And I agree, the copilot terminology across product lines makes no sense; 360, 2.0, Plus, Assist, Assist Plus, Plus Plus.

I mean, toss on a set of non tow mirrors, works great

I keep imagining I'd be looking like one of those crabs with a left tow mirror and a right regular mirror. LOL

No, you can't, it will turn back on every time cruise is activated with current software. It will have to be manually turned off every time it is not wanted.

No, you are incorrect. I have it disabled on my 2024. It does not automatically turn back on when the adaptive cruise is turned on or when power is cycled.

Feel free to drive over to north central Indiana. You can take a ride with me and I’ll show you that it doesn’t turn back on after it’s been turned off.

If you have the newest software from FDRS that turned on the lane centering with cruise button you should be centered in lane with lane centering. Even with Dumbo ear mirrors.

If Lane Centering had always worked as well as it does now, it would have a very different reputation and drawn a lot less ire from owners of 2021-23 trucks.

Something isn't right if you aren't experiencing a massive improvement over the past.

Per rugedraw, every module in my truck was updated June 18th, 2024 by the dealer when they had it for a week. I can't tell any difference in behavior.

It is what it is. I'm just turning it off on my drives to and from work. My issue really is that my foot is so heavy, I use cruise to not get tickets on my 25 min commute through multiple school zones and highway areas plus I have some plantar fasciitis and like to stretch my feet and keeping my right foot on the pedal in one position isn't always comfortable. I was just surprised Lane Keeping got turned on with cruise when I don't want it for this type of driving. If I'm stuck with it, I'll just turn it off as I engage and disengage cruise multiple times. In my quest to reduce mouse clicks in life, this software change added a bunch.

Again, it is what it is, and had hoped there was a software toggle for user preferences since these amazing trucks have so many preferences and options that users can chose the behaviors that work best for them. Love you all.

Evidently I have not received this update yet because I just came back from a short trip where I was able to use cruise and I have to engage LKA separately .
