"Still gotta pay attention, can't be stupid"

You know that's above 80% of most drivers' abilities.

Its amazing how far armband technology has progressed.

Anyone who does this, be sure to pay attention when doing this. If there are any breaks in the lines when it's in a slight turn, it will drive through the break, and then when it senses the lines again, it over-corrects and throws you through the lines on the other side. That's what happened to me today, and if I wasn't paying attention and corrected it myself, I would have been in an accident.

My man! You might be a better Ford Sales man than the guys at the dealers! Genius

Love the lane centering on my 2023 ford escape - will def be trying this! I pay attention as if I’m driving it manually but it would be nice to take my hands off for more than 14 seconds without the message popping up lol

Thank you so much for this hack. Will keep my eyes on the road but this could free up my hands to eat a burger while driving. I bought my f150 after watching your video. Ford should pay you a commission.

I've watched a lot of videos on this truck and this video is head and shoulders above any other video showing this ability. You didn't even seem to be trying. I kept my eye on the left lane marking. It was hitting the dash at a consistent spot, meaning the truck was not ping ponging. I'm waiting on my truck with bated breath. I want to try this.

EDIT: Still haven't received my F150 yet, but I tried this on my Maverick. IT WORKS! I used this driving up and down I-95 on vacation. Wonderful.

Works on other lane keep assist vehicles as well. Just be aware of the white lines and watch for breaks as others have mentioned.

[denebx]

Awesome. Also you can just get a driver while slathering grey poupon on my sammich!

[nicholas]

glad i spent the extra and got lane centering.

[TheTastyMorsel]

That is one quiet interior! Hardly any road noise.

This guy is a straight up Highlander, and showing off like he should.

My truck came with the blue cruise hands free system it’s awesome

For this to work, you need about 1.5 lbs if you put the weight where Bob has his (slightly above the 3:00 position). You need about 2 lbs if you put the weight down lower (at around the 4:00 position).

I have a 2016 Tesla Model X with AP1 (auto pilot 1) and have used this trick for a few years. I just tried it on my ‘21 Raptor 2 days ago to see if it would work and like you said it does. I just drove it across the country after buying last weekend and wish I had seen this and known to pack my second 2lb wrist weigh, but it’s in the truck now.

Just let your knee slightly touch side of steering wheel and you will be able to keep it in self drive mode.You may have to adjust seat to get your knee close to steering wheel……

[Slimdulla]

That's pretty nice. But quick question how does it account for vehicles on the side of you, and if traffic gets really bad

[RoninTX]

Great video. I noticed you have the Max Recline Seats. How do you like them?

[nemobubu]

So are you using blue cruise OR just Lane Keeping + Adaptive Cruise Control? Thank you!

[metaltim]

Def. be careful with this in rain or snow. They can prevent the front cameras from sensing vehicles in front of you, and you don't always get a warning that it isn't working. I don't use adaptive cruise control anymore in weather. It's just too finicky.
