Zero interest and I am more than satisfied with “basic” or standard cc as I still enjoy driving. An old dude with sciatica so cruise control is a true gift for long drives. Adaptive is usually welcomed by folks with more tech interests than I, and I don’t begrudge them that choice. Simply put, we are fortunate to have choices. Sorry for the XL folks and the cruise control question.....

How big a deal is adaptive cruise control to you ???
I'm thinking this might be one of those things, that if your current vehicles doesn't have it, you could probably go the rest of your life with out it, and never know what you were missing ? (like flat screen TV's) I'd be tempted to say, most that have had it, wouldn't want to go without it.... but inevitably, somebody will jump on to say they have it in 1 or 3 other vehicles, but they hate it, and they never use it, if for no other reason than just to prove me wrong 
lol Gotta' love the internet
Anyway, my Prius has it, and I use it 100% of the time on the freeway..... and sometimes even on our main through fares in town (granted, those are 3 lanes each direction, with 45 mph speed limits where most people are driving 55 mph. I think maybe once or twice it might have saved me from rear ending someone... or maybe not. But it would have been close(r)
This is posing a really big problem for me, as I won't pay the several thousand extra dollars needed to get adaptive cruise control in a Maverick..... but because of this one thing, I might just pass on the Maverick altogether. My GF's current car does not have adaptive cruise control..... So it wont be a problem for her. Their is a stronger chance she might get a Maverick, than me, because of this.

We have it on our Alfa Romeo, and sometimes I like it, and other times not.I'm thinking this might be one of those things, that if your current vehicles doesn't have it, you could probably go the rest of your life with out it, and never know what you were missing ?

I do like the pre-collision assist feature, and from what I understand, this is standard equipment on the Maverick. Because of this, I will not be opting for the co pilot 360 with adaptive cruise.
I have only used adaptive Cruise Control in rental cars, but I do not like it. I like a little more control. I end up going slower than I want to because the car slows down and I don't notice.I'm thinking this might be one of those things, that if your current vehicles doesn't have it, you could probably go the rest of your life with out it, and never know what you were missing ?

Now, when we get real self driving, where I can just go to sleep, then I will be all in. Until I can sleep, I'll just keep driving.
Probably more true in the metro. But not very useful in Chickasha Oklahoma
My mothers car had it, I didnt like. Sometimes you need to tailgate. I wont even buy a motorcycle without cruise control!

I agree 100% I ordered a Lariat but did not pay the extra 3 grand just for the adaptive cruise control. I also have a Nissan Leaf with adaptive cruise control and this vehicle is inexpensive. Don't understand Ford's marketing strategy but maybe they will read about this issue as it sucks.I'm thinking this might be one of those things, that if your current vehicles doesn't have it, you could probably go the rest of your life with out it, and never know what you were missing ?
