Technology Package worth it?

I would ignore the people who haven't tried ACC who are saying it's not worth it. Most of their objections aren't even true. It is probably my favorite feature on the truck. I have done 10k miles in 4 months and it has changed the way I think about road trips. If you want to pass some, you just hit the accelerator and do it -- the system doesn't interfere or even turn off. It just resumes once you're done. The rest of the time, when you just want to cruise down the road you set the following distance and forget about it. It takes so much stress out of the drive. I also find myself being less rageful as I don't mind when someone is going slower as much because I don't really have to react. They usually get out of the way eventually and the car just speeds up again. Losing a few seconds or even minutes on a 1,000 mi drive isn't even worth me changing lanes most times.

My only complaints are that it doesn't go all the way down to 0mph. That would be outstanding and something I would easily pay $5k for.

Most overpriced option: $2k for stickers
Second most overpriced option: $1k for 7 small pieces of carbon fiber
Third most overpriced option: Tech package

Upside is the tech package at least adds functionality to the truck. It's only 3% of the price of a loaded Raptor and is nice to have. It is worth it? No. Am I glad I got it? Yes.
