Technology Package worth it?

[Craigy]

If I was spending $60k+ on an 802A equipped truck, it would be difficult not to check the tech pack box. Adaptive cruise control/collision mitigation is a nice feature if it works.

However if you're trying to save money and going 801A or 800A you could easily live without all that stuff (99% of people do).

I ended up adding it.

Not that I matter but I select just about every option offered, even ones I don't think I'll be using.

On the cooling seats, I hope they cool the back. On my 15 Mustang they only cool the butt not the back!!

They cool the back bit for me in my '13. I can't do without that option, that's for sure.

Probably has something to do with the seats folding in the Mustang (Non-Cooling Seat Backs)

Could be, I know personally for me and some of my other buds, they love their cooled seats.

The cooled seats in my 14 leave a lot to be desired. I barely notice a difference when they're on.

Adaptive cruise on my '15 F150 is AMAZING and I thought I read that the new trucks will have adaptive cruise to 0mph meaning it will work in stop and go traffic which is also amazing. Lane keeping is a huge PITA and annoying where we drive and even on the freeway it acts more like a bowling ball with lane bumpers - it just deflects from side to side. Maybe the 17 will work better, hopefully so.

Found it - What is Ford's Adaptive Cruise Control with Stop and Go Technology

I just tweeted Mike Levine to see if he'll answer but I also asked him last week about gear ratios on the trucks but no answer yet.

I have the stop and go adaptive cruise control on my '15 Audi Q7 and it's awesome. One of the coolest new features in auto technology. Glad to see it will be on my Raptor too
