Let’s be honest- The Raptor R is going to be expensive!

I’ll never buy another truck without adaptive cruise. 100% a safety feature on two lane highways (there are a lot of these in my area).

Do people really use cruise control? Man, I may have used it once in my raptor in 11 years, never used it in my Jeep ever. And I do a lot of highway travelling, for me it’s wanting to be in control of my vehicle. Maybe it’s all the mountains I travel around, cruise sucks for momentum driving.

I'm definitely a fan of adaptive cruise. It works great in my Tremor and my wife's Explorer ST has Fords Co Pilot 360. which is even more advanced and great in the mountains and prairies.

I have driven from Maryland to south Florida and back without using cruise control. In short, I NEVER use it for the exact reason you don’t. I like to be in control of my vehicle and don’t like my foot being off the pedals, ever.

On top of that, I can drive much smoother and hardly ever use my brakes because I can see when traffic is slowing/stopping way before adaptive cruise control can.

The R going to be pricey , sure it is . As i get older now ,the nicer things have a price of admission that you would of never paid in your younger years . I like Evel Knievel's quote .

True Evel Quote: "All the money in the world can't buy your way into Heaven and it can't buy your way out of Hell - it was meant to be spent right here and I'm going to have the best clothes, the best boots, the best diamonds, the best cars, motorcycles, booze and women on the face of this earth

I’m predicting a base MSRP of AT LEAST $90K. Dealer markups will push it well over $150K.

Seems like we could do some research on different GT500 builds vs corresponding ADM and get a sense of the % markup to expect. I’ve seen GT500s with an MSRP of ~$100k with $25-30k ADM so that’s kind of what I’m expecting here but maybe it will be higher.

I like and use all the tech on my Gen2 802a during normal DD. Adaptive cruise. Collision detection (with appropriate sensitivity so it doesn't go nuts). 360 cameras. Proximity sensors (wish it had them on the front as well). Cross-traffic alert. Lane keep assist. 4A whenever it's slippery (I prefer this to slippery mode because 4A persists after turning off the truck, and I don't need any throttle dampening beyond "normal" mode). I think it all enhances safety and adds some convenience. Now everyone likes to retort "Well I bought my Raptor because I actually want to drive it!" Yeah, sometimes I turn off all the nannies and drive it like I stole it. But 99% of the time I'm driving my kid to school or driving to/from work, and the tech is a big bonus for me.

Actually had to goggle what a F 12 was, lol. Beautiful automobile. But I can think of bunch of ways I'd rather spend $319k.
Hats off to you if one of these is sitting in your garage. I'm jealous.

Who pays that? I just think they will rise in price also because its allegedly Ferrari's last v12.

I use cruise control 50% of the time I drive.

Guess I should of started a Thread on the subject, lol. Somebody can if they want to…
