$1,950 Raptor technology pkg

My wives SUV has all of it.

Never use any of it. Hate the radar cruise too.

Try to drive a vehicle with it to see if you like.

It would have been a total waste of money for me.

I can understand not thinking it's worth the money, but how could anyone hate the radar cruise? It makes cruise control actually worth using since you don't have to constantly turn it on and off when you encounter another car on the road.

OP, if you ever plan to drive this thing long distances get it. Adaptive cruise made my 1,500 mi trip from Texas to pick it up stress-free.

None of it is for me, I don't like the truck doing things for me.

I like the auto high beams and rain sensing wipers....

'nother happy Tech Package owner here... the adaptive cruise is the mutt's nuts for me. As others have said, standard cruise is nearly useless for me because there's always some chucklehead squatting in the left lane, or jumping in front of me, thus forcing me to either turn off or manually adjust the cruise... something that gets old very quickly.

The adaptive cruise dealing with that shit for me makes life on the highway SO much easier...

Opted out on this one. Had all of it on the Jeep I traded. Adaptive cruise is great in some ways, horrible in others. Loved it during long road trips, thought it was the greatest invention ever until idiots from the right lane made a sudden left lane change right in front of me with ACC engaged, the radar applied the brakes so forcefully in order to "maintain" distance, it actually warped both front rotors. Its also very easy for the vehicle to slow you down so gradually, that you will find yourself traveling 10-15 mph slower for unknown distances because you did not even realize you slowed down. But, can be a life saver if you are one of the many drivers I see staring at their cell phone while hauling ass down the highway at 80+mph. So its good and bad IMHO.

I wasn’t looking for it, and if I’d ordered the truck to my spec, I wouldn’t have bought it. Fate, however, intervened and at the time I bought the truck, I couldn’t find a less expensive truck provisioned like I wanted, without some hateful ADM that made purchasing the lesser optioned truck financially stupid. So I bought the more optioned than I wanted truck.

I use the tech package features frequently. rain sensing wipers are great, just remember to turn them off if you’re washing the truck while listening to tunes.

fancy cruise control is darn good. You will love it if you use the vehicle to travel a lot of interstate or similar driving. Auto highbeams are also nice and work really well.

If I can buy the parts and install it for $2k, I would do it today.

Happy with the package. The adaptive cruise control is by far the best option in the package. Second to that, I would say the rain sensing wipers prevents me from fumbling with the controls while driving. Lane keep assist treats the truck like a bowling ball with the bumpers up down a lane. Not practical enough for consistent use.

I hear the 2018 model will have auto start after stop with with adaptive cruise control. Want to see if I can retrofit this feature on the 2017. (too much stop and go on during rush hours) Asked the dealer if this is could be a software update and they had no clue. But my ears are still open.

Had I spec'd my raptor myself, I would have been hesitant to have ordered it, but the one I bought on the lot had it. Now that I have it, I would not want to buy one again without it. Love all the bells and whistles. I've never had a vehicle with adaptive cruise or lane keep assist before. Its hard to imagine going without now. Having said that, you don't know what you are missing until you try it. And I'll bet once you try it, you will love it.

Same situation as me. No regrets on having the tech package.

I have the tech package and it is fine. But, I would gladly trade the entire package for front parking sensors. If you rely on the camera you will eventually hit something. It is off. I asked the dealer if they could add sensors and they said it would interfere with the lane assist. Who knows.

I do not understand why Ford put sensors on the rear and not the front.....head scratcher.
