adaptive cruise control
do the 6.7 trucks have the option of having adaptive cruise control. We got this in the edge and its wonderful. Planning on upgrading my 7.3 to 6.7 in the next couple of years and would love to have this feature. Didn't see it on the fords build your truck website but maybe its bundled into something else.

It is awesome! I had it on an MKZ rental.
It uses radar/sensors to maintain a safe following distance, braking when necessary and resuming to your preset speed when the gap opens. It is adjustable depending on your comfort level. It will stop you completely if necessary. Very cool. The Lincoln also had the blind spot warning, cross traffic alert. All cool stuff.

Let me know when y'all figure out how to jam other vehicle systems so they all just get outta my way.....
Seriously, whenever I see a vehicle I'm passing that has the little orange light lit on their side mirror I get much more comfortable, makes me feel safer knowing that they get a light telling them that they can't come over in my lane yet.

Agreed. I know a lot of people hate on the new tech but it is seriously good and should cut down on accidents and deaths. We aren't going to stop driving and we aren't get rid of distractions.
Oh, I forgot about Lane Departure Warning!
Totally Bad Azz! Once activated it sees the lane lines and keeps you in between the lines. It will steer back into the lane for you!
It also tells you to wake up if you don't give enough input while driving. It flashes a cup of coffee at you if you're falling asleep.

If it was to hand you a cup of coffee, or throw it on you, I bet that would wake you up even better than showing you a picture of a cup of coffee!

The reason I ask is that just the other day I was driving on a multi-lane highway and the lanes lines were so worn it was difficult to see, in fact almost not able to see at all in many places.
In my engineers mind I have some major issues with this (based upon what little I know). If my team came to me and said boss we got this aDaptive cruise control and in order to work it depends upon it seeing the lines in the road in order to work...WTH you guys crazy, what about when it rains, or snow, mud and just has not been painted since the 3 wise men walked that way, what happens then?
Cannot see the folks over in Legal letting it out the door...

Since these systems require new sensors, new display, new software, etc, I can understand them only adding these things with major updates. The interior of the SD is basically the same since back in 2008 except the new info center from a few years back (2011, I think?) and the better head unit/NAV system. I'm sure the next interior upgrade will have the new tech. Since these gizmos are now available on the F150s, I'm sure they will all be offered on the SDs next.
