Ford’s BlueCruise costs $50 a month, but here’s who actually needs it

Ford has sold hands-free highway driving capability under the BlueCruise name since 2021, when it debuted on the F-150 and Mustang Mach-E. Buyers get a 90-day trial included with an eligible Ford vehicle, then pay $49.99 a month, $495 a year, or a one-time fee of $2,495. The one-time option guarantees at least seven years of BlueCruise service, with no additional payment required as long as Ford continues to offer the feature.
