Exciting news for Ford enthusiasts! The acclaimed BlueCruise hands-free highway driving assist feature is set to become available on three popular Ford models: the iconic Bronco, the adventurous Ranger, and the legendary Mustang. This expansion will bring the convenience and ease of BlueCruise to a wider range of drivers, further solidifying Ford’s commitment to innovative driver-assistance technologies and enhancing the overall driving experience across its diverse lineup.
This significant development is made possible by Ford’s strategic move to unify its electrical architecture. By merging the learnings from its next-generation FNV4 architecture with the existing FNV3 platform to create FNV3.X, Ford aims to streamline its systems for both electric and traditional internal combustion engine vehicles. According to Ford’s EV design head, Doug Field, this unified architecture will not only reduce complexity and costs but also enable faster software updates and deliver improvements in vehicle quality, paving the way for the seamless integration of advanced features like BlueCruise.
The expansion of BlueCruise to the Bronco, Ranger, and Mustang is a testament to the feature’s remarkable growth and popularity since its initial debut in the Mustang Mach-E and F-150. With over 757,000 BlueCruise-equipped vehicles on roads globally as of March 2025, and a staggering 446,000 new additions in the past year alone, it’s clear that drivers are embracing the benefits of hands-free highway driving. Ford and Lincoln customers have collectively spent over five million hours with BlueCruise engaged, nearly doubling the usage compared to the previous year, highlighting its increasing value and adoption.
By extending BlueCruise to these three beloved models, Ford is empowering even more drivers to experience the comfort and convenience of hands-free highway driving. Whether cruising in a Bronco, tackling trails in a Ranger, or enjoying a spirited drive in a Mustang, the future integration of BlueCruise promises a more relaxed and enjoyable journey on compatible highways. This expansion underscores Ford’s dedication to making advanced driver-assistance technology accessible to a broader customer base, enhancing safety and convenience for drivers across the Ford family right here in New Westminster and beyond.
