Adaptive cruise control

[Vermin93]

Looking for feedback from anyone that has and uses this feature, especially in a Ram or Ford truck. I'm looking at new trucks and this feature caught my eye. I make several long interstate trips a year and the idea of heading East on I-20 and I-30 and not having to repeatedly reset the cruise control from braking seems like it would be nice luxury. I've always been a GM guy, but they don't offer adaptive cruise control in any of their new trucks, not even the Sierra Denali or Silverado High Country trims. It's kind of a bummer, although GM does have some cool features in their new trucks that Ram and Ford don't have.

I've driven a 2002 Tahoe for 17+ years, so I'm mostly inexperienced with modern electronic features like back-up cams, lane change assist, adaptive cruise, parking assist, etc.

Does the adaptive cruise control technology work pretty good and is it a nice feature on long highway trips?

really? I've got a 2015 denali that has it and I love it. its great on the interstate, you can set it at 3 different distances. its also great if you're convoying to the lease.

I drive a lot...300 plus miles a day & personally just not ready for these self driving cars. I would rather be off cruise in traffic and it's easy enough for me to manually adjust speed with the +/- buttons at those moderate changes.

Now the back up cam is snazzy & wish my company truck had the lane change assist / warnings in the side mirrors like my Camaro simply for an extra safety buffer.

I have it on my Tundra. I like it, it'll throw you though the window when some JA pulls out in front of you.

Won’t own another truck without. Awesome for long trips

Yep. In researching this, I read that GM did a lot of customer focus groups when developing the new 2019 half-ton, and adaptive cruise control was not something that GM truck customers showed a lot of interest in. So, even a fully-loaded 2019 Sierra Denali doesn't have it. Yukon and Tahoe have it, but not Sierra and Silverado.

It's great on the Denali. I don't know about the others. We set on middle stage. Less and everyone cuts you off. More and the passengers get nervous.

It is nice to have.
