The adaptive cruise control was the WORST feature in the car I rented in Germany, and could NOT turn the damn thing off! There's no speed limit so I would travel at 80 to 90 mph, trucks cannot go

GM needs to make this an option. For the old schoolers who don’t want it, they don’t have to order it then.  For the rest of us, make it available and have it available and ready on the first release

Why do people suddenly not want to drive? All this driverless car crap, take the bus or train, then cab, see, you didn't drive.....

Just like computers. it will stop people thinking, just press buttons and go.

And AC in a house...with thermostat!

 

Where will it all end!!

Well, now what do I say?

It's human nature to like easy convenience, I'm guilty.

I feel as a species, we are depending on machines to do our thinking for us, and forgetting how to think of ourselves.

I used to remember so many phone numbers, now with the cell phone, just press a button and it calls, I don't remember phone numbers for crap anymore.....

Towing and or hauling significant loads are what this tool/truck is designed for so I understand why its not offered. I am not saying it wouldnt be nice for someone using it as a car on a road trip but again, that is not what it is designed for. Hauling significant weight makes adaptive cruise a pain in the backside, inefficient towing, and frankly not particularly safe.

I can see that from a towing perspective. But I still wish it had it. My Jag has it and I love it! I don’t feel it takes my attention away either. I love it for those times where the car ahead of you may be changing its speed just a few mph.

Heck, even if the person in front of me slows down 20 mph the car reacts perfectly to it. It’s just a nice convenient feature, and should be included on these expensive vehicles. It’s not like they don’t have the technology.

I wish it had it, make it an option worst case scenario. But should be standard feature

At the price point and with the competition offering it it should be there. The adaptive part can be shut off and used as normal cruise. It's inexcusable not having it available on a $80K truck.

1500 didn't get it the first year (2019) with the new body style either.....

1500 has it available for 2020 ... so maybe there is hope for HD for 2021?

 

Fwiw, on 1500 it's not standard.  It's available on the higher trims. 

 

 

If you want GM's 'super cruise' -- the one that steers too -- it's still only available on some Cadillac's.

Nice to have lots of choices...

 

Everything that is made 'standard' has to be paid for by everyone -- even those that don't use/want it.

You can switch between adaptive and regular cruise on the 2020 1500 pickups.

Well, I bought one anyways, 2020 Denali 2500HD with every option....but man, I really am second guessing myself, I really want adaptive cruise. Holding out hope that an aftermarket solution, like comma.ai or if the 2022's(2021's don't) get it, someone figures out a retrofit.
