The nice thing is that the adaptive feature can be temporarily disabled, I believe. I think it's in settings. The best of both worlds. I've learned over the years that checking off certain options, although we may not particularly care for them, makes the vehicle much easier to resell as some of these options cannot be added on after the fact.

I'd be curious what it was, I've used this on a MB and it is without a doubt the best option out there. It is nice to set the cruise at 85 or 87 and not had to mess with traffic. I too was a bit hesitant to think it would work but after logging 1,000s of miles I'd go all in. It's also great in stop and go traffic. It does all the work for you.

My wife's 13 Explorer Sport has them and I use them all the time. Mostly when decending a hill.

Yes, if the LED lighting is available on the Lariat Super Cab, I might finally upgrade my 2002 F250 Lariat Diesel. It would also be nice if you could get the King Ranch in the Super Cab version. Al

Agreed. I rented a car with adaptive cruise control and hated it. It grossly over-reacted. In heavier traffic it would brake if someone pulled in even 200 feet ahead. That would catch the car behind off guard because nobody would normally brake that way. Then people get PO'd and pull around you then back back in front; so the car brakes AGAIN. It is a hazard in anything but light traffic. It would keep going slower and slower as people pulled in. And it was not like people were "cutting me off".
ford is is better trust me. People don’t compare other vehicles with adaptive and think there all the same. Until you’ve driven with a supersuty don’t judge.

I love the idea of adaptive cruise, the only time I've actually seen it work was in a Volvo VNL. Albeit, it only worked sporadically, as it continuously threw an ACC sensor fault meaning the cruise couldn't be used at all.

I like the improvements however those autofold mirrors better have a manual override. Up north here I find I have to leave the mirrors out when we get freezing rain and a cold spell (in that order). They'll be replacing alot of mirrors under warranty up here if that feature can't be disabled.
I bought my truck with 25K out of Ontario, Canada and I'm on my second set of mirrors.

I cant remember from the video now but they auto fold on lock/unlock correct? Theres been many times I've had to wait to pull out of a parking spot before folding the mirrors back out as someone parked too close on one side or the other and if the mirror folded out it would hit the other vehicle. The mirror auto folding out when you hit the unlock button would be a huge issue in that case, especially since you wouldn't be able to get into the truck to prevent the mirror from folding out. I see the benefit, but its a pro/con feature. I dont mind pushing the button myself.

I hear people not liking the ACC, but it is one of the best options on the truck outside of the 6.7 IMO. I use it religiously while towing our 17k 40' toyhauler. We make a 1100 roundtrip to Orlando quite often. I have never had an issue with the way it works. Different strokes for different folks I guess. That's a nice thing about options you don't have to buy them.

IMO, it’s very dangerous within city beltways, but just awesome on the open road. I will get it again.
