Drove home today and used Blue Cruise (BC) extensively on the Interstate; about a 100 mile ride. First experience with BC. Noticed that the ‘set’ speed reverted back to the posted speed limit on several occasions - might have correlated to where the posted speed changed.
Only one minor issue - the rear passenger tire TPMS failed at about 100mi on the odometer. Luckily the tire was still holding pressure, unlike yesterday when the same tire’s valve stem unseated on the interstate.
Mine came on Michelen’s - so the ride was comfortable and relatively quite, as compared to my 2019 F250 KR with the 6.7 diesel.
No real issues or concerns - I preferred driving in the Sport 4A (All-Wheel-Drive) mode vs normal, and also over the Eco…. But Eco & Normal both handled the highway fuel economy better.Need to see f you can save the Drive Mode to the driver profile.I drove back using Eco and got 17.1 MPG over ~85 miles of interstate driving.
Need to get under the hood and under the truck to look at the suspension configuration - I would like to add a 2” to 3” lift. First look was a cursory inspection - there is a LOT OF EXTRA room in the engine compartment.
Turning radius seems slightly lesser than in my F250… may just be my experience vs a F250.
They kept the same square key as on my F250; this matters to me as I want to install a Bolt Keyed to vehicle hitch pin and lock for when I need to tow.
The leather seats are soft enough, but they are heavily perforated for the ventilation feature. Almost to the point of appearing to be a ‘mesh’ rather than true leather. The arm rest in the rest seem a bit under-stuffed, ie thin.
The power windows allow for a lot of incremental minor lowering steps. I’d say 4 quick clicks before the window was below the window rubber.
I opted for the locking vault - it reduces the overall usable space - but will keep a larger pew-pew protected, along with wallet, keys, etc if I exit to run, hike, bike, etc.
I will use this for work (construction company owner, but carry some occasional small tools and tool cases), so I purchased a Ranch Road storage system. I fits nicely, just barely sliding in with the top lip just above the plastic panels of the rear cargo compartment; they do not rub unnecessarily.
Will be adding custom paint to the lower rocker and tying to front and rear bumper to mimic the other KR models of days of old.
