Adding Adaptive Cruise later?
I have an 16 F150 EB Platinum loaded. Considering selling it for a 17 SD - one of the features on my F150 that a love is the Adaptive Cruise. It's pretty incredible - and I would imagine even more so when towing. Most of the 17 SD's I'm seeing out there do not have it (looking at Lariats). I'm guessing you could not add it after the fact, or have it be a dealer installed option?

Anything is possible, but you'd need the radar bubble that mounts in the bumper, the harness, additional programming, and any other hardware that might be needed. Probably be a very expensive add-on, and dealer techs are usually not good at these type of requests. They give you a blank stare when you ask them about retrofitting options, even though it can be done.

Adaptive cruise is a great option. I did not think I would like it but ordered it anyway and I really like it.
Only downside is that you can get stuck behind slower traffic if you don't pay attention to how fast you are going once the truck slows down behind a slower driver.

It can be done on the 150s. Not sure on the Super Duty trucks yet. Check this out:

The truck he is talking about on powerstroke army is mine (my id on the army is 12stroker) we are going to add it to it. We will post more about it once all the parts come in and installed. You will need ids for a few of the procedures but will make a thread here once it's complete. He successfully added it to his f150 so should be possible for our trucks since alot of the times are inter changeable.
