Even though I am in the market for a new 2019 or wait for the 2020 but not that excited , it takes a few years to work out the bugs in any new truck thats why I am leaning towards the 2019 but its just starting to work out all the bugs and they want to going and change the truck again ... There starting all over again ... LOL

Just as an FYI you can retro the raptor steering wheel into 17-19 super duty and get paddle shifters, I've been thinking of doing it.

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.
I use the ACC frequently when towing our 5th wheel and other times, but mostly on Interstate or wide open 4 lane roads. If I see a problem where it might slam on the brakes, all I have to do is touch my brake pedal to disengage the ACC.
If someone slows to get off of the interstate, the automatic braking will slow the truck, and once the car is off in the deceleration lane, our truck will pick back up speed.
I have found that if a car pulls in front of me, as long as the car is moving away from my truck, the ACC automatic braking usually does not engage.
But to have automatic braking on all of the time on the narrow curvy roads around here just doesn't cut it for this ol' boy.

Do the SD’s have a sensitivity setting?
my wife’s Lincoln has 3 or 4 levels (distance).
She uses it all the time on the mid setting.
I used the lowest setting and frequently turn it off.
Never fails, it will function smoothly and I didn’t notice we were down 5-10 mph from my cruise.
Someone mentioned the Volvo VNL
The newest adaptive is tied into the GPS for among others things, topography.
Volvo claims the truck will maintain set speed up, cresting and down hills.

Are the diesel guys going to complain now that their trucks will be shifting gears to go up a hill with a 10 speed transmission? Granted not the higher rpms of gas but none the less it will be shifting. GASP! I think I threw up in my mouth a bit. Lol. All in good fun here. Tongue in cheek.
