2024 models have 1.2
Came with lane change ability from the dealer.
I was referring to our generation of trucks (21-23), but technically, you are correct.

Hi Javier... while driving today, my Sync screen rebooted. This hasn't happened for about 2 years that I know of. Just wondering if Ford tried to so an OTA. If you have a minute, could have a look in PTS?

1FTFX1E81MKE01710

Thanks
Don

My truck is approaching its "final form" (I've done all the modifications I wanted to do to it) and wanted to check my status on OTAs, etc. Changing the battery from H6 to H8 was a gamechanger, by the way.

Would you mind giving REDACTED a look?

Can you do a check for 1FTFW1ED7MFA67160.

Thank you.
Your truck is on the latest Sync software, but showing lots of pending updates for the other modules.

Lucky you. Mine seems to do it once a month. No recent OTA history for you.

Very clean and extensive OTA history. Last power-up you got was 6.8.0. Modules still pending are below:

Only the Mach E's have gotten an update for BC 1.3 so far. Only 2022/2023's are getting it for now and it started rolling out to them only a few weeks ago. Last OTA you got was 6.8.0, so you would still need a few other updates before you can get that one whenever it does make it's way ot the F150's.
What changes does 1.3 bring with it?

Lane change assist, in-lane repositioning while passing/being passed by a large vehicle and predictive speed assist. If you truly are getting the IPMA software for the first time, then it will also have improved BC stability where it does not disengage as often.

They need to tweak the software so it doesn't run up on slow moving traffic so close before hitting the brakes and start slowing down sooner. I always wonder if it is going to slow down or stop when coming up on cars.

I agree. It's pretty bad.

That's Adaptive Cruise in general, rather than a Bluecruise issue.

My understanding of the system (and most ACC systems) is that it ignores stopped traffic typically when first detected by the radar, so it takes a little to react. If I see stopped/stopping traffic ahead, I set the distance to the max and it's a little less nerve racking, but not much.

I think it does a great job in real Stop&Go. Amazing even.
And it's perfect on sustained speeds like an interstate.

But I can predict that I'm NOT going to like it's late reaction when I have a big gap and my speed is much higher than what I'm coming up on. I accept the limitations and use my own braking in those circumstances.
