I've seen a bunch of conflicting information... I'm the proud owner of a new 2023 GT (Job 1.) The build date was June 28th 2023. The car came with a mobile charger, but there was no mention of it on the window sticker. The sticker showed "bluecruise 1.2" as a standard feature, but no mention of trials, and nothing regarding BC in the optional section. (Mentioning this to establish the car is a Job 1 build.)

Should I be getting a 90 day trial, a 1 year trial, or a 3 year trial for Bluecruise?

The reason I'm asking is that my "connected services" in fordpass shows a Bluecruise trial expiring on 6/1/2025 (1 year after my purchase.) So far, I've only ever read about 90 trials and 3 year trials...

EDIT / MORE INFO: Please see this post: https://www.macheforum.com/site/threads/2023-job1-bluecruise-trial-period.36558/post-809620. To summarize, Ford acknowledged an error on my trial and will supposedly correct it.

That sounds like you should have the 3 year version to me. My 2023 was built in July and had the 90 day trial. Otherwise it was a $2100 option for 3 years (or somewhere around that $$).

The only thing I think you would see on the window sticker for the charger would be if it were removed for the 2023. Pretty sure mine said something like "mobile charger not included" or something.

What does your window sticker say?

I'm not sure what you're asking (that I didn't include in the original post.)

In the top section (standard features), under "Functional", it lists "BLUECRUISE 1.2"

There's no other mention of BC anywhere else on the sticker. There's nothing concerning a "trial" or any type of limited period.

Next question: what is the end date of your Blue Cruise subscription in your online Connected Services page? Mine shows a 1/1/27 expiration.
From the first post in the thread:

(Actually, it shows "6/1/25", not "6/1/2025")

@Ford Motor Company Can you chime in? Very short version of my question is: I have Job 1 2023 GT. The window sticker says "Bluecruise 1.2" (no mention of trials or time periods.)

In the FordPass app, it's showing a 1 year trial (expiration date of 6/1/25 when the car was purchased on 6/1/24..) I was under the impression that Job 1 2023's got a 3 year trial.

Can you clarify?

I read the OP.

How would anyone know if your subscription is longer than what Connected Services says it is?

Someone else that didn't read the OP...
I read most of it. Enough to post what I did. Yes, I should have read to the end.

Mine says I have a three-year "trial." You have your answer, then. There's an expiration date for you. I don't know what else you need. Contact Ford. They'd know for sure. We can only speculate here. Asking them here guarantees no helpful response.

Because I'm trying to determine if it's supposed to be 3 years and there was an error when the trial was created. Scanning this forum (and everywhere else) I can't find any instance of a 1 year BC trial on a 23 model.

I also have 1 year showing on a '23 job1 GT. I haven't reached out to Ford yet about it.

This was Ford's "clarification" on pricing in May of 2023.

All I can find is the change that happened when Ford reopened order banks in May 2023.
