I just received the following email from Ford regarding my blue cruise expiring.

It looks like there is the option for month to month for $75

$75 per month? They are out of their damn minds.

It was fun while it lasted, the current functionality isn't worth that price.

Honestly it wasn't that fun with the ping-ponging even after doing a couple of calibrations. If they fixed that and got rid of the tendencies to hug a semi (which I hear is fixed in 1.3) it might be OK.

They missed the BC rollout window for me unless it drops in the next 30 days. I fortunately never had the ping pong issue but am disappointed by their pricing model.

I’d pay $600 for 3 years in hopes that 1.3 rolls out and improves things a little. $2000+ for 3 years? Hell no.

Not worth it... nor do I really think it being free is worth it...

Just curious, what was the 2021 MSRP on your window sticker for the Co-Pilot Active 2.0 Package (43C) that got you the BlueCruise originally?

Any idea the 2021 MSRP for the Co-Pilot Assist 2.0 Package (43B)? (it was $750 MSRP on my 2022 Lariat)

The difference would be the cost of the first 3-years of BlueCruise, just wondering how that compares to the $600 for another 3 years.

Yeah, the Active (43C) package also got you Active Park Assist - do you use that, and will it continue to function after the BlueCuise expiration?

There's rumors that once 1.3 is released, all vehicles that paid for the $2k package initially will be extended through 2024 if expiration is imminent. If you're desiring to pay that cheap 3yr rate, don't let that impact you as the standard rate is $800/yr as of now. $600 for 3 years is less than $17/mo. The 800/yr price is hilariously a waste of $$

So, [(2100)-(~750)] = ~$1350 for the first 3 years of BC (+ Park Assist). Probably the same order of magnitude even if you paid a below MSRP price for your truck.

Maybe the functionality isn't all that was expected, but you did say "it was fun while it lasted" and the $600/3-year extension is a lot less than you paid for those first 3 years of "fun".

I know I spend a lot more than $200/year for "fun" things in life.

Hmm ......

Thats a great price! I was told 900 for 3 years when I picked up my '22. I believe they are now talking almost 900 a year now. Crazy

I got the same email and called Ford. I was connected to their OTA Team for my question about BC 1.3. I have BC 1.0 and it wanders like everyone else. If 1.3 is not coming, I would not upgrade.

The OTA gal confirmed that BC 1.3 IS NOT planned for release to the 2021s. Not sure if it is just the Job 1 trucks or all 2021s. Her comment was "2021 F150s are not on the list planned to receive the BC 1.3 updates.".... So the $600/3 years seems to be their attempt to appease these early adopters, giving us a cheaper BC since we will have to put up with the wandering BC 1.0 version.... No thanks here....

Interesting, except these people don’t seem to know anything. They said my gas tank had to be 80% full to get OTA updates.
