Who should put it on their shortlist?
Consider BlueCruise if you want hands-free highway assistance in an eligible Ford or Lincoln. Check the hardware, software version and plan attached to the exact vehicle.
Capabilities and limits
BlueCruise works on designated highways. Newer features are not automatically available on every BlueCruise-equipped vehicle. Use the vehicle’s account and manual to verify its version.
Keep the operating area, driver monitoring and takeover requirements in view when comparing systems. A feature unavailable on your commute has little practical value to you.
Compare systems side by side →What does it cost?
Ford lists $49.99 monthly, $495.00 annually, or a $2,495.00 one-time option at vehicle purchase through a Ford dealer. Hardware and eligibility are separate. Do not assume Ford pricing applies to Lincoln.
These plan prices do not buy the vehicle or establish that the required equipment is installed. Check the order sheet, trial dates and renewal terms.

Before signing an order
- Identify the exact model year, trim and VIN—not just the model name.
- Ask for the equipment and service entitlement in writing.
- Test the feature on a representative route, following the manual.
- Check trial expiration, renewal cost and whether a used-car entitlement remains after transfer.
