No, the adaptive cruise isn't perfect, but I love it. This is the one thing I wished that I had gotten in our old custom ordered 2012 BMW X5d, but didn't. So the adaptive cruise was a must have this time around.

 

You have to play with the different distance settings I think. It brakes too late and tries to speed up way too aggressively when set to near. It seems to do much better on medium. When set to far, it's slowing down when a car is like a ridiculous distance away, so don't really use that much. 

 

I used the adaptive today on I-64 coming back from Virginia Beach and heading towards Richmond. Between Williamsburg and Richmond, it's one of those two lane stretches of highway where you're constantly on and off the brakes due to a lot of on and off-ramps and only two lanes. This used to drive me insane without adaptive cruise. It really helps reduce driver fatigue with it. It's only looking at the car in front of you though. If the 5th car in front of you gets on their brakes, and then the 4th, and then the 3rd, you need to start getting on the brakes yourself because people tend to follow way too close. If you're waiting for the adaptive to do its thing and haven't gotten on your brakes by the time the car right in front of you is finally getting on their brakes, that's precisely how multi-car pile ups happen, which we did see on I-95 in Virginia today! LOL! Drove past a good 7-8 car pile-up precisely from this sort of situation. Also saw a crashed Tesla, that I think hit a freaking motorcyclist!   

 

I let the adaptive do its thing, and it worked well, but it was definitely late on the braking once when set to medium, so switched it off. Again, it can only see what the car in front of you is doing, and not multiple vehicles ahead. It's a great tool to reduce driver fatigue. Gotta keep paying attention and maintain situational awareness at all times, though.

It is ok on our Yukon Denali (not offed on our Denali HD) and about mid range performance, but the Mercedes implementation on our E550 AMG Cabriolet works way smoother and does not shut off after coming to a complete stop. Also the HID headlights on the AMG turn with the steering wheel which helps out tremendously at night on a curvy road and wish GM offed that feature.

I have ACC on both my Yukon XL and my Jeep Grand Cherokee, and I really like it on both.

For those so adamantly against it because it brakes too soon when you are looking to pass, you can override that by simply pressing the accelerator yourself.

It will not resume it's normal operation until you let off, so it can work much like regular cruise control with a tiny bit of driver input.

I test drove the Lexus LS600 in 2008 which had adaptive cruise control it was nice... can sit in a lane and the car will slow down and speed up alone.  At that time if it stopped then needed to tap the gas peddle and it would get back to speed... not sure about the GM version

Does anyone have a 2020 Tahoe,  Yukon, xl, etc? They have a new “advanced adaptive cruise control” and I am curious what the difference between that and the regular 2015-2019 version.

Would be very surprised if they changed anything, given this is the last model year of this generation. However, I'd be interested to hear otherwise, as I have a 2019.

In general I like the adaptive cruise control, however, on my 2020 Tahoe premier , if you get behind someone and say it’s set for 65 and you drop to 55 because they are running slow - when you go to pass it takes off like a bat out of hell to get the speed to the set speed.  Can this Increase in speed rate  be adjusted ?

      Joke Thread

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Fred was in the fertilized egg business. He had several hundred young pullets, and ten roosters to fertilize the eggs He kept records, and any rooster not performing went into the soup pot and was replaced. This took a lot of time, so he bought some tiny bells and attached them to his roosters. Each bell had a different tone, so he could tell from a distance, which rooster was performing. Now, he could sit on the porch and fill out an efficiency report by just listening to the bells. Fred's favourite rooster, old Butch, was a very fine specimen, but this morning he noticed old Butch's bell hadn't rung at all! When he went to investigate, he saw the other roosters were busy chasing pullets, bells-a-ringing, but the pullets, hearing the roosters coming, would run for cover. To Fred's amazement, old Butch had his bell in his beak, so it couldn't ring. He'd sneak up on a pullet, do his job and walk on to the next one. Fred was so proud of old Butch, he entered him in the City Show and he became an overnight sensation among the judges. The result was the judges not only awarded old Butch the "No Bell Piece Prize," but they also awarded him the "Pulletsurprise" as well. Clearly old Butch was a politician in the making. Who else but a politician could figure out how to win two of the most coveted awards on our planet by being the best at sneaking up on the unsuspecting populace and screwing them when they weren't paying attention. Vote carefully in the next election, you can't always hear the bells.

      High Country Suburban build confirmation

      By 3CarSeatDad · Posted

      Can someone confirm if the GM order workbench terminal is able to validate a custom build sequence:   1) Initialize the Allocation Base: Open a new vehicle build queue, select the 2026 Chevrolet Suburban 4WD, and pick the High Country (3LZ Preferred Equipment Group).   2) Select the Diesel Powertrain: Go directly to the engine configuration screen and choose RPO code LZ0 (3.0L Duramax Turbo-Diesel). Ensure it maps to the MHS 10-speed automatic transmission.   3) Deploy the Seating Swap: Navigate to the Interior Options screen and enter RPO code ATT to replace the standard captain's chairs with the power-release 60/40 bench seat. Because you are not trying to force a separate luxury or air-suspension bundle, the standard, premium D07 Fixed Floor Console remains active. The system will accept this change immediately without triggering a warning message.   3)Apply Heavy-Duty Hauling Capability: Input RPO code NHT (Max Trailering Package). The commercial terminal will automatically bundle the required trailering hardware and software modules to support the diesel engine's maximum towing capacity.   5) Layer the Premium Tech and Glass: Separately add code C3U (Panoramic Power Sunroof) and code UKL (Super Cruise) to the order screen.   6) Run the Final Validation: Click the "Validate Order" button at the bottom of the interface.

      Looking at ordering a '26 WT because I want a std cab, std bed

      Spent the last hour or 2 googling and reading up on the spacer thing. I don't like the loss of thread contact on the slip on spacers, but it appears you can get "extended" lug nuts that reach into the hole of the wheel to get back the lost threads. Looks like the only true hubcentric slip on spacers are at least .375". I'd want as little as I could get away with and don't want to cause other clearance issues going any thicker. Bora seems to offer what appears to be a well made .375" spacer and extended lug nuts. I searched here and did find a couple threads recommending Bora. But not cheap. By the time I buy spacers and lugs, new TPMS sensors, then pay a tire shop to install the new sensors, I suspect I'm going to be in over $400. Thinking about running out and getting some washers to put behind the wheel to see if .375" is enough to clear calipers, turn lock to lock without rubbing, and to see if the wheels/tires look strange pushed out a little. This would just be to check fitment.

      Road Master Active Suspension

      By Core-Lokt · Posted

      Roadmaster makes some quality parts; I have their sway bar. I considered the RAS, but I ended up bagging. I didn't know what kind of ride I'd get with RAS, and the bags have interior jounce bumpers, so I can run 0 pounds pressure. I figured I'd have the best of normal suspension ride with assist on-demand. But it seems you got pretty much the same in one item.
