Tested the intelligent speed limiter this morning... you literally have to push the gas pedal to the floor to override it

Well, the owner's manual does clearly state, "FIRMLY press the accelerator pedal ..." (emphasis added).Tested the intelligent speed limiter this morning... you literally have to push the gas pedal to the floor to override it
What exactly is Blue Cruise?No.
F150 (XLT, Lariat, KR, Plantinum, Tremor), Explorer (2025 ST-Line, ST and Platinum), Mach-E (203+), and Expedition (2024 Platinum)
I have (had) it on my 2021 F150 Platinum. I would rate it 5/10 or 6/10 performance wise. I had it for a little over 2 years and had the opportunity to re-up for 3 more years for $200/yr ($600 for three years paid in full for 2021 Job 1 F150's) when it expired at the end of last year. It wasn't worth $200/yr, nor is it worth the $800 per YEAR they want now.
Full hands-free driving on select US highways and interstates. Think Tesla full self drivingWhat exactly is Blue Cruise?
Adaptive cruise will apply the brakes for you or accelerate for you. Assuming your car doesn't stall it will probably try to speed up regardless of gear. If you touch the brakes or the clutch cruise control will disable. FWIW, I have an automatic but the premise is the same. Will never own a car w/o it nowhow does adaptive cruise control work exactly on a manual transmission? If you're cruising on 6th gear at 75 mph and traffic slows down to 40 mph, does the car notify you to shift to lower gears?
Yes, I'm replying to myself.No.

yeah I have adaptive cruise control now and love it, but it's a Durango with automatic transmission. Curious how it would work with a manual transmission since acceleration is completely dependent on the speed and gear you're on. I guess someone with a manual transmission should chime in.Full hands-free driving on select US highways and interstates. Think Tesla full self driving

You have to shift gears if you want it to accelerate faster, there's no changing that. If you shift gears though you're gonna disable cruise and will have to just accelerate yourself. Do yourself a favor and get the auto, it's incredible.yeah I have adaptive cruise control now and love it, but it's a Durango with automatic transmission.

I test drove the auto and manual twice each, and manual is a completely different ball game! My work commute isn't bad so I don't mind the manual at all!You have to shift gears if you want it to accelerate faster, there's no changing that.

I was quite surprised to find out, that when clutching in and shifting doesnt disable cruise on my manual 24 gtif you shift gears though you're gonna disable cruise and will have to just accelerate yourself.
No way that's awesome! So it just maintains the same speed even when changing gears?I was quite surprised to find out, that when clutching in and shifting doesnt disable cruise on my manual 24 gt
You just switch gears like normal and it will readjust to the speed you have set.No way that's awesome! So it just maintains the same speed even when changing gears?
yep! the car adjusts in accordance to the set speedNo way that's awesome! So it just maintains the same speed even when changing gears?
Yes, cruise control sets your MPH, not your RPM ...You just switch gears like normal and it will readjust to the speed you have set.
I am jealous of the lane centering that autos have though. No idea why the manuals can’t have that.
Lol i was contemplating this very thing while watching the speed sign shown in the display change when we were trailing (tractor beam style) another up hill via adaptive.Yes, cruise control sets your MPH, not your RPM ...
