Hands-free drive Comma.ai Four installed on 2024 Ranger Raptor

You should consider joining the Comma.ai discord. Lots of actual experience there and there may be a sub that is related to the Ranger.

I just joined over there this morning. Hope to learn the best combination of forks for my Ranger. My main objective is to make those 7-8 hour drives to the West coast less exhausting, getting there all tired out kind of puts a damper on the first day of vacation. I also travel 2-2.5 hours between Tucson and Phoenix which is never a relaxing experience.

Just be careful when you ask questions. Try to read the FAQs and use the search. One of the comma mods is a straight up dick. They guy must be angry 24/7. Most everyone else there is great!

I have a 2025 Lariat and it works fine. I would recommend buying a Comma 3x from Comma directly. It supports the free software development, then I'd install the latest version of Bluepilot which is a customized version of Openpilot for Fords. The 4 is the newest hardware but I'm not sure it supports Bluepilot.

I'm still procrastinating on this. Do you still recommend the Comma 3x and why not the four that the OP used? (says it supports Bluepilot)I also have a FitcamX and I wonder if that will get in the way of the camera? I guess I won't need the Fitcamx if Comma works as a dashcam though........

The comma 4 has been great. The newer updates are out and the driving is more smooth and the visual info on the display is more informative.

I just completed a 2,000 mile road trip and I used the system for 80-90% of the highway miles. It really made the time more enjoyable and reduced my fatigue significantly. I was able to wipe out large chunks of miles easily, with low effort and could enjoy the scenery (to a certain extent).

I don’t recommend this for everyone and you should not expect to just activate the system and take a nap. You must pay attention and be aware but once you’re used to it, it’s very smooth and safe.

As far as using it for a Dashcam, I poked around and believe the feature may still be coming in future updates. I could be wrong.
