Will BlueCruise have a towing mode?
Yes, Ford is introducing a dedicated towing mode for BlueCruise starting on the 2027 Ford F-150. This innovative technology allows drivers to haul trailers hands-free on designated controlled-access highways, providing driver-assist support that automatically manages steering, braking, and acceleration while towing properly configured loads up to 10,000 pounds.
Hands-Free Towing Arrives on Controlled-Access Highways
Towing heavy loads across Georgia highways requires constant focus and careful vehicle control. To help reduce driver fatigue during long hauls, Akins Ford in Winder, GA, is excited to share how Ford expanded its driver-assist suite to include BlueCruise towing capabilities. By combining advanced camera sensors with real-time software adjustments, this system gives truck owners unprecedented confidence when pulling equipment or recreational trailers.
- Launch Vehicle: Debuting on the 2027 Ford F-150 across all BlueCruise-equipped trims.
- Maximum Towing Limit: Supports hands-free highway driving with up to 10,000 lbs of max available towing capacity.
- Speed Management: Automatically caps hands-free driving speed at 75 mph while towing.
- Safety Protocols: Requires a unique trailer profile, monitors trailer sway continuously, and disables hands-free lane changes while trailering.
Smarter Engineering for Everyday Georgia Truck Owners
For hardworking folks around Northeast Georgia, hauling heavy loads is simply part of daily life. Because local drivers regularly haul work gear and campers along Interstate 85, having access to BlueCruise towing makes long-distance travel much more comfortable. In 2025 alone, F-150 owners logged 118 million hands-free miles, yet 76% of truck owners regularly use their pickups to tow. Consequently, Ford engineered this specialized software update to handle complex dynamic factors like wind resistance, weight distribution, and trailer sway.
“Whether you are pulling a camper up toward the North Georgia mountains or hauling heavy equipment across town, BlueCruise towing gives local truck owners a whole new level of highway driving confidence,” notes Akins Ford spokesperson Tanner Maloof.
Furthermore, built-in safety parameters ensure responsible operation every step of the way. If the system detects persistent trailer sway, excessive weight, or low tire pressure, it instantly prompts the driver to take manual control. Therefore, drivers enjoy effortless highway cruising while maintaining complete peace of mind.
