He lied (no surprise). The XLT may not have Bluecruise-HandsFree subscription, but it still has Sirius, BlueOval, and Navigation subscriptions. All of them are optional of course, so maybe he thought you were asking about required subscriptions, but where do you draw the line? If Ford pulled the "heated steering wheel and seats are now subscriptions" or locked DCFC to 75kW without a subscription, we'd be up in arms. I'm comfortable with the subscriptions as-is, as there is server and data costs associated with what we can subscribe to. Ongoing cost of running the service necessitates ongoing cost to use it. Navigation walks the line. There's constant feed of traffic, construction, and other real-time updates, but when that subscription runs out I'm hoping there's a once a year update for the maps-only option.When I bought my truck I asked the sales rep if there were ANY subscriptions associated with the truck, and He said NO, there were not.
