Taking into account that this is a sport pick up, with big 35 or 37 inch tires, the assistance is good enough. For long road trips in interstates, this should be good enough. Takes cares of speed, avoid you crash the front car and also keeps the car in the center, what else do you want people. I know it’s not full blue cruse, hands free but this still it’s amazing.
You are definitely from Minnesota. I have a 2021 Roush F150 with all these b&ws. I change cruise and lane keeping sensitivity depending on interstate or local roads. System screams at you when not enough steering input. It takes some fiddling to find best combination of settings.
I find if I just rest my finger on the steering wheel with a very little pressure turning the wheel right, the truck will stay centered and the hands on the wheel notification will not come on. Some of the Tesla people went on line to buy a small weight made to hang on the steering wheel. It will also simulate your hands are on the wheel. Not saying that is wise to do that but that is all it takes.
I have heard of people doing that with a Velcro ankle weight or something similar also. I find that the way I drive causes the warning to pop up very infrequently, so I just wiggle the wheel a tad when it does.
I have another video that goes through all the drive modes and the MyMode feature. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions! ua-cam.com/video/6t8V33NX7fk/v-deo.html
Just saw it and came here to state never mind! Thanks for the response and previous video. I am able to get the settings in the instrument cluster but kinda useless without the button. Ford dealer cant order it yet so just a waiting game I suppose.
Thank you!! I saw that as well. It sounds like they are unable to make it work with the off-road oriented suspension on the raptor. Understandable, but I'm sure people will be pretty bummed.
Great video I never use this or would have used this until your video now I can’t wait to try it…also thanks for the heads up on blue Cruze I wondered why they took it off the raptor
Did you happen to update your truck to get BlueCrusie? Once I had mine updated, the normal hands-ON Lane Centering no longer works, while the lane keep still works as shown. Dealer refuses to see that there’s an issue and tells me “everything works as designed” Thanks in advance, great video!
On a straight highway/interstate is it asking for steering input as often as you were showing on your videos during the curves? Also the noise asking for input, if you add input every time it asks for it does it reset it ? or after a certain amount of warnings it will shut it self off? I have a 2022 raptor on order, and am very upset about no bluecruise. But this seems comparable if it isn't bugging for an input every 5 seconds on straights
It will still ask for your hands on the wheel from time to time when driving straight. Not super often, but it all depends on how much you are steering yourself. For me, with one hand on the wheel, it probably only comes up once every 4-6 minutes when driving straight on the highway or interstate. The warnings and dinging reset as soon as you give the wheel a little bit of steering input, and it doesn't take much, just a little bump or wiggle. Overall, I don't find it very intrusive or annoying. I have no experience with bluecruise, but my guess is that will be warning you to watch the road in a similar fashion to how the lane centering system warns you to put your hands on the wheel. I hope that helps answer your question.
@@gearzgadgets5872 thanks man, really appreciate you replying 👍👍. Think I may stick with the order then. Coming from Tesla and really enjoy being able to take a brake from driving after a long day, hoping this Will be close !
@@sukhpaulsandhu4132 no problem, you're welcome! I took the truck on a 150 mile highway drive last night, and used lane centering the whole way. It worked great and was a nice relaxed drive. Overall the truck is awesome. I bet you'll really like it!
@@Saif_msms yes gen 2 has lane keeping which pinballs you back and forth between the lines. Gen 3 builds on that with lane centering which keeps the vehicle centered in between the lane markings.
Your raptor is the only one I have seen with the my raptor mode button why is that? Special package or is it apart of something others aren’t talking about?
The "R" button is the MyMode feature where you can create a custom mode with all your favorite settings. This was not included on 2021 model year Raptors. 2022 Got the added MyMode feature, as well as trail turn assist.
What sound system comes on the 800a when I built mine I read B&O with 8 speaker Inc a sub woofer unless you upgrade to 801a brings the upgraded b&o. Idk how true that is
800A has a 7 speaker unbranded audio system (no subwoofer). It has 1 speaker in the middle of the dash, 1 in each A-pillar, and one in each door. That is standard, and there is no other option without upgrading to 801A and then you get the B&O Unleashed system. There is a Kicker branded Ford Accessory subwoofer that I will be adding to mine. It mounts in the factory location with factory connections/wiring.
@@gearzgadgets5872 thank you, I was confused. But kinda sucks, I upgraded all my 2020 speakers to alpine type r and 1200 watt amp powering high&lows &500 of those watts power g 500 watt kicker down firing speakers. I'd hate to do that again but guess I will. Thank you, please put up a video when you do that upgrade (before and after)
Are you aware that you have Traffic Jam Assist enabled on your truck? This feature isn't well documented. It's not mentioned in your owners manual (MY22 at least). Have you ever driven your truck in heavy slow stop and go traffic? Traffic Jam Assist uses ACC and LC and should be hands-free at slow speeds. Google TJA. Many cars have it. I can disable my BlueCruise and enable TJA, but i don't have traffic to test this out. BTW, hang a wrist weight (1 to 1.5 lbs) on your wheel at 3:00 or 9:00. This will fool the truck into thinking you have the wheel. Your truck will drive hands-free then. I do this in my F150 and Maverick.
@@gearzgadgets5872 , is TJ A just a slow speed BlueCruise? I'm trying to find out. I have BlueCruise. I'm planning on disabling it and enabling TJA. I'm not paying $800/yr for BlueCruise.
It is not BlueCruise. Rather, it is just lane centering at a slow or "stop and go" speed like in a traffic jam. It will bring you to a complete stop and remain active when traffic starts moving again from being stopped without the driver having to use the pedals or steering.
I’ve been looking for this kind of info on a Raptor for weeks!
Glad I could help!
That was cool. Thank you for explaining that. I remember the dealer talking about it. But nice to see it in action.
No problem, thanks for watching!

I agree, it does plenty for me!!!
Thanks you for this video! I was super curious how it worked. Dealer called me yesterday and mines coming in 2 weeks so excited!!

I saw on Raptor forum blue cruise is no longer available on Raptor. Love your videos.

Great informative video! Look forward to getting mine soon so I can try out these features.

Very informative. I have a ‘22 Raptor being built in March. Liked & subscribed.
Thank you!!!
Does this system same as in the gen 2 raptor ? What’s the differences if so ?
The gen 2 could be optioned with adaptive cruise but not lane centering.
@@gearzgadgets5872 but gen 2 does have lane assist isn’t it ?
@@Saif_msms yes gen 2 has lane keeping which pinballs you back and forth between the lines. Gen 3 builds on that with lane centering which keeps the vehicle centered in between the lane markings.

Yep, they both are standard on Raptor.

Is it just as good as Tesla auto steer ?
I'm not sure as I haven't used Tesla auto steer. But I believe that is autonomous, and this system is not.
