The benefits of BlueCruise for commuting and road-tripping 

Ford BlueCruise technology has taken the driving experience to the next level, making both long road trips and daily commutes easier and more enjoyable. So, how do drivers like BlueCruise hands-free driving? Keep reading with Akins Ford of Winder, GA, to learn about the benefits of BlueCruise for commuting and road-tripping. 



BlueCruise for everyday commutes to work 

For most Americans, the daily commute can be a dull, repetitive task. According to Statista Consumer Insights Global, as of August 2024, the average U.S. commute time is between 16 and 29 minutes, with more than half of commuters driving for less than 30 minutes. Interestingly, Ford and Lincoln owners using BlueCruise seem to match these trends, with about 77% of BlueCruise trips being under 20 minutes. 

Owners rave about how BlueCruise turns their daily drives into more relaxed and enjoyable experiences. Peter L., an F-150 Lightning owner, explains how BlueCruise transformed his once monotonous commute: 

“BlueCruise changed what was a completely boring, monotonous ride to something that is now enjoyable. The worst part of my day is work, and the best part is driving to and from work.”

With BlueCruise managing the driving on compatible highways, commuters can ease into their days or unwind on their way home, making what used to be a stressful part of the day something to look forward to. 


BlueCruise for longer road trips and travel 

Beyond commuting, BlueCruise shines when it comes to long-distance travel. Whether you’re headed out for a family road trip, a weekend getaway, or a statewide soccer tournament, BlueCruise is there to make the journey less tiring. For trips on controlled-access highways lasting more than an hour, BlueCruise was used more than 50% of the time, showcasing its value in extended driving situations. 

Jace C., another F-150 Lightning owner, shared how BlueCruise has become an indispensable part of his family’s travel routine: 

“I knew we would use it for those big trips, but I didn’t know that we would use it every single time we hop on the highway … I really can’t imagine us buying another car that does not have BlueCruise.”
