Adaptive cruise in traffic

[GKW05GT]

I love adaptive but only use it at highway speeds.

+1 agree

You on a 17 or 18 Raptor?

My raptor is a 17.

18 raptor will not stop and go, confirmed.

Had a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the adaptive cruise control and it worked great in rush hour traffic stop and go. Raptor, not so much. Great for light traffic, rush hour it sucks. Kicks off below 12mph.

Im so confused why Ford didnt include this in the 18 (it seems to exist on other trim F150s in 2018 according to the manuals online, where Adaptive Cruise significantly changed from 17 -> 18... with that said I've had a really hard time finding definitive proof stop and go works on any 2018 Ford F150s)

My 2018 Raptor does stop and go but you have to hit resume to go from a full stop if you are stopped for more than 3 seconds. From the 2018 F150 Owner's Manual (page 242):
"Following a Vehicle to a Complete Stop
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a complete stop and remains stationary for less than three seconds, your vehicle accelerates from a stationary position to follow the vehicle ahead.
If your vehicle follows a vehicle to a complete stop and remains stationary for more than three seconds, press RES+ or the accelerator pedal to follow the vehicle ahead."

Note: Adaptive Cruise Control has to be enabled in the Information Display -> Settings screen in order for it to work at all.

Also note: I read in a 2018 Raptor review at http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2017/06/2018-ford-f-150-gets-more-safety-technology.html that: "Raptor offers stop-start only in Normal and Weather modes".

Have you tested it in traffic or are you just going off what is in the main F-150 manual? That article you quoted was refering to the engine stop-start, not adaptive cruise.

I have tested it in real traffic!

Page 242 is Adaptive Cruise Control, not Start-stop. See picture of the manual.

The referenced article is talking about adaptive cruise control with what Ford calls stop and go - this is NOT the same as Engine start-stop: "To better serve pickup buyers looking for more safety systems and better fuel economy, the new F-150 will offer segment-first adaptive cruise control with stop-start across the powertrain lineup (Raptor offers stop-start only in Normal and Weather modes)."

Another reference from Ford - see bullet four - New adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go functionality:

It definitely is available in my 2018 Raptor. I'll take a video when I get a chance.
