[QUOTE="braptorin, post: 1190919, member: 23439"] Weeeeeell ... my current understanding is that some really poorly worded marketing materials confused everyone: decomposes into "The 2018 Raptor will have Automatic Cruise Control. As an unrelated feature the Raptor will also have the fuel-saving function that turns off the engine when at stoplights/stopsigns/etc." which is reinforced here: [url]http://www.fordraptorforum.com/f260/2018-stop-go-55408/[/url] ---- I'm now skeptical to the point where "I'll believe 18s have the brake-to-a-stop-then-continue-again ACC when I see it in person or when I see it on a YouTube video" (as opposed to reading about it). I have searched and not found any relevant YouTube videos :( :( Reading the 2017 and 2018 Ford owner's manuals side-by-side get's my hopes up again that the system might work as we both want. Here's 2017 (note that it was reprinted at some point, which I hear is specifically due to some poor wording about when and how to use the ACC when towing). Start on Page 225 with "USING ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL (If Equipped)" [url]http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_information/2017-Ford-F-150-Owners-Manual-version-2_om_EN-US-EN-CA_12_2016.pdf[/url] Here's a direct link for 2018. Start reading on Page 240 at the section with the exact same name. Note that there are new sections titled "Setting the Adaptive Cruise Speed When Your Vehicle is Stationary" and "Following a Vehicle to a Complete Stop" [url]http://www.fordservicecontent.com/Ford_Content/Catalog/owner_information/2018-Ford-F-150-Owners-Manual-version-1_om_EN-US_05_2017.pdf[/url] Unfortunately the 2018 manual also says "Adaptive cruise control may not detect stationary or slow moving vehicles below 6 mph" (p240) which worries me. I bet that's because the radar system is using differential to remove background objects while cruising down the highway (a reasonable strategy). [/QUOTE]
