is co-pilot 360 active and blue Cruise the same except for the eyeball monitoring

Co-pilot 360 isn’t in the manual, I think they just call that lane centering now. From my limited experience, lane centering and bluecruise are very similar other than one is hands free.

I haven’t been overly impressed with bluecruise. I’ve never got more than about 5 miles without it kicking out and going back to lane keep assist. I had lane keep assist on two Acura’s and it was much more forgiving. It‘s like Fords is too good, and because it needs so little input from the driver it thinks youre hands aren’t on the wheel and nags you. To avoid the “put your hands on the wheel” alert I feel like I have to constantly fight the assist.

when you kick it back to Lane keep assist does the truck do the same things and just require you to keep your hand on the wheel? or does its capabilities change

Feels like the same thing.

Major difference is between lane keeping on XLT vs lariat - XLT has no cameras so no eyes on road nagging - much nicer driving the XLT on highway using lane keeping then driving Lariat.

None of our roads are BC mapped here so lane keeping assist is best we have. Though your arm gets sore keeping enough pressure on wheel that the hands on wheel nag is happy.

I guess this is as good of a place as any.

Bluecruise will change speed based upon the speed limit signs. Will modes OTHER than hands free do the same?

Will bluecruise bring the vehicle to a stop at a light or stop sign? I don't believe any other mode will do so.

BC 1.3 is supposed to bring lane changes, will any other mode allow this?

BlueCruise does not need to track speed limit signs, that can be disabled. (One of the first things I disabled as it's quite untrustable in my short experience)

BlueCruise won't work on roads with stoplights/signs - it's strictly for highway driving. So it will not stop for those traffic controls.

Adaptive Cruise Control can be used on non-highway driving, and it will slow to a stop if a vehicle in front of you has stopped at a red light in my experiences.
