2022 Ford F-150 Lightning truck – BlueCruise

What is BlueCruise? It is a hands-free driving system by Ford. Canada and the U.S. feature more than 160,000 km of pre-qualified divided highways called Hands-Free Blue Zones where BlueCruise can be used. More Hands-Free Blue Zones will be approved in time.

2022 Ford F-150 Lightning truck – Onboard Scales and Intelligent Range

If you haven’t heard about Onboard Scales, that’s the feature that makes it possible to estimate the payload of your truck. With that information, your truck can give you a more accurate driving range estimate using Intelligent Range, since payload can impact the range of a vehicle. These two features together make it easier to plan a trip and properly load your truck.

Simply being in range is enough to allow you to use these functions.
