Anyone with Bluecruise try towing? does it work? If not, anyone hear if it will be updated to be enabled in the future?

 

I've tried it on my 2022 Powerboost Lariat SuperCrew, towing about 5000 lbs open car trailer. It works mostly well, and I especially liked the adaptive cruise control. That said, the lane centering has issues. When the highway gets curvy, instead of making a long big ark, the steering wheel makes small and frequent corrections. Think of it as a few degrees turn, zero degree, then a few degrees again, back to zero, and so forth. This causes TRAILER SWAY! I found the most pleasant experience was with adaptive cruise, but with lane centering disabled at anywhere by flat roads.

 

I agree - had the same experience.

 

But by nature doesnt blue cruise just maintain speed and lane centering?

 

I think it is more than just that.
This might help to explain BlueCruise in more detail - BlueCruise

 

BlueCruise does not currently work while towing. I know GMs version (SuperCruise?) is supposed to. Lane Centering does still work on Fords while towing.

Not sure if BC while towing will be enabled in a future update or not. I read somewhere there are BC updates coming that will improve the existing feature.

 

BlueCruise does NOT work when I have a trailer configured and attached. 21 F150 5.0L 4x4 SCrew Platinum 6.5. Trailer was a dual axle car hauler with electric assisted hydraulic brakes.

 

Did you need to brake much on the hills? If you're burning extra gas going uphill and then having to turn it directly into head going back down, you'll lose MPG as well.

 

Adaptive cruise and lane cenering work with a trailer attached, but BlueCruise did not engage for me.

 

BlueCruise will not work when towing and Ford has no plans to provide it Per Ford Authority. The below article explains Ford's reasoning, sort of. The "23" Super Duty models can be equipped with Lane Centering and no Blue Cruise availability within the Super Duty lineup.
