So is the 31,500 figure just for the F450 Josh?

I text one of the people over my project and she said to stay quiet on the numbers a little while longer

Wish I could spill the beans. It's killing me!

When you saw 31,500 before, did it have the word 'over' in front of it then too?

How about instead of spilling the beans, you PM each of us a single bean and let us work out the mess for ourselves?

Can't wait for the ACC. I think that everyone needs to take responsibility for their own safety. It's like the tesla auto pilot system. There will always be those that abuse it and those that complain they think it isn't safe. Then there are those that use it the way it was meant to be used and never have an issue.
Pick your category.

LOL, this is pure torture, self inflicted, but torture nonetheless.

The biggest factor in deciding how safe it will be in my opinion will be the condition of the trailer brakes.
Adaptive cruise, unfortunately, doesn't know the condition of the roads.

I doubt anyone will disagree with me when I say such a system allows a driver to pay less attention, even with the best intentions. It lulls you into inattention.

The problem is that with serious weight behind you, you could hurt or kill many people. I have the system in our Lincoln. It works well enough, and can slow the car down seriously quickly if someone chops you. But you simply cannot slow down 30k very fast, or even 10k.

Adaptive cruise control will only be available on Lariat, King Ranch and Platinum trim packages, going by a few articles I've read.
