OK, all my reading is telling me that its $2100 for three years, $800 per year or $75/month.

BUT, look at this window sticker:

Really makes a big difference. That option package is what you get with the ER Lariat, I think.

This was a "new window sticker" that reflects the new pricing. Its for a truck that on the lot.

I don't see that same BlueCruise at all in the SR Lariat.

Here's a Platium. BlueCruise is standard there, so its mentioned in the "standard section".

Sure looks like with an ER Platinum or Lariat you get three years BlueCruise.

I couldn't find an XLT ER to look at the window sticker.

It is included in the truck as you stated. The ER package includes it. You can buy an SR without it, or include it.

Just bought a Lariat ER 2 weeks ago but dealer can’t release it to me until the light bar recall is fixed. Dealer said it includes 3 years BluCruise from the date they activate it so will wait until I get to take it home.

The 3-years on the stickers must be a new thing to reflect their new subscription strategy. My early '23 Platinum just says Bluecruise.

The new lightbars are not supposed to be available until Q4, that's a long wait.

If you have the full BC stack I think 3 years has always been included, it definitely was with the ICE and Lightning for the last couple of years.

The new pricing and concept was just announced this week. It'll probably start with the '24 pricing and trucks. Look for changes then.

Was it originally offered as a 3 yr free trial or was it just included with no mention of an expiration? I see nothing on my 2022 MSRP indicating a trial version.

You can call it a trial, but truly just 3 years of use was included with purchaser. I think ICE only had a year perhaps. So at least I'm hopeful they will get the SW out for v 1.3 this year and I'll have a year or so left of use to see if it is that much better.

Yeah. I know. But figured it is more guaranteed getting one this year than ordering new. Dealer says they had orders placed in December that just went to build in August. Got to lock in the price decrease, the $1750 July incentive and the 1.9% financing.

Our ‘23 ER Lariat has it though the nearest BC highway is 75+ miles away 🙄.

Nice, I over paid due to impatience but I'm still very happy. I can't wait for infrastructure to improve so I can take more road trips.

I know it is now but when you bought your Mach e and the lightning was it described as a subscription service with a 3 year trial?

I hate subscription services of any kind. Won’t be renewing when it ends no matter what price they offer.

On the sticker? No.

On Ford's websites and common knowledge? Yes.
