LD only. There are lots of threads about this.    And everyone here knows what they cost.

Yeah, definitely no interest in paying for it. Now, if they gave it for free, I would gladly accept. ?   Has anyone figured out a way to record the rear view mirror camera. Seems like such a

Does anyone think GM would/could offer this for the 2019 models? 

Could? I don't know. Would? Absolutely not.  Then you'd have no reason to trade up for the 2020... ?

Can anyone tell me if ACC can be disabled and normal cruise control be utilized?  If the 2020 only has the ACC available and it works as well as the Yukon did I am going to snatch up a 2019 quick. 

 

I am not a fan of GM's adaptive cruise control at all.  Had it in both of my wife's 2015 & 2016 Yukon Denalis and it was horribly inconsistent.  Overall ACC defeats the purpose of setting a speed, if it varies with all the left lane idiots in front you become one of the left lane sheep.  So, I am looking at end of year deals on 2019 Sierra Denalis and know the 2020's have ACC.  Any insight is appreciated.

If it’s like most current products hold the cancel button to disable ACC.

So you have both traditional cruise control and adaptive as an option to use?

It should, I can't seem them going back on that it was a relatively new feature/function.

I have a 2019 Yukon SLT with adaptive cruise control and if I could I would trade the car back in for one without ACC.  The only way to shut ACC off is to not use cruise control.  There is no way to shut off ACC but still have regular cruise.  Whenever I use the ACC on trips at least once or twice per trip the car will incorrectly detect a car in front of me and slam on the brakes.  Here I am on the freeway traveling 75 mph and the next second I'm at 55 mph.  This is extremely dangerous especially if there is traffic behind me.  You have to shut the cruise off or slam on the gas to get it going back up to speed.  The owners manual says ACC may not work properly on hilly or windy roads.  Uh, hello, that's pretty much every road here in Washington State.  ACC is a horrible system that makes me not want to buy a GMC again.

Guess i can stop complaining about the k2xx 2014 - 2018 trucks not having ACC.

I'd be very surprised if the 2020 with ACC didn't have the option to switch over to conventional cruise control.  I have two vehicles with ACC and both allow you to switch over to regular CC.  The owner's manual should have instructions on how to do it.

Below is the reply I got... certainly not going to invest in adaptive cruise :)

 

its doable but its a huge job, different camera, adding a few modules, steering wheel change, cluster programming, bcm programming etc. Doable but pretty expensive :(

Define "pretty expensive"?  I'm sure it's something I don't want to pay that much for, but just curious on what it would cost, since I do about 60 highway miles a day. 

 

Thanks!

I have a 2018 Suburban with ACC. If I had realized it when I bought the truck I would have passed on it, I hate it. I can verify that the hold the Cancel button to revert to standard CC does not work on these vehicles.

Sees the 2020 Sierra Owners Manual says that the ACC can be switched back to regular cruise, if desired.

 

Switching Between ACC and Regular Cruise Control


To switch between ACC and regular cruise control, press and hold *.
A Driver Information Display (DIC) message displays.

See Vehicle Messages pg 156.

 

When ACC is engaged, a green indicator will be lit on the instrument cluster and the following gap will be displayed.

When the regular cruise control is engaged, a (different) green indicator will be lit on the instrument cluster; the following gap will not display.

 

When the vehicle is turned on, the cruise control mode will be set to the last mode used before the vehicle was turned off. 

 

And there's more, of course. 

And of course, this doesn't mean that's how it works in a Yukon.  Some of GM's ACC literature indicates there may be differences in how if functions in different applications (or maybe just different ACC generations)

This. I have never driven any vehicle with ACC till I got my 2020 Sierra on Thursday. I did not even know how to use it really well till this weekend. There are 2 different icons for ACC. One is when the ACC is active the icon looks like a speedometer with a car on the top right. The other when it's not active is just the speedometer. I read the comments above and looked at a video on how the system works. It showed to make the system not active to press and hold the cancel button. I tried this today and it changed the icon from active ACC to non active ACC. I also got a warning on the DIC that following distance and auto braking were not active in that mode. The truck worked just fine like the old cruise in my 16 had.

 

Yes the ACC is not standard. It comes on the Driver Alert Package 2 which is included in the SLT Premium plus package that my truck has.

      MPG at 600 miles

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      There are probably a few threads talking about fuel mileage but this one seemed to fit the stats I have seen based on my typical local driven route but with different outcomes based on different seasons/temperatures. I have a few hundred pounds of items that consistently ride on the truck at all times such as a bak flip cover, rubber bed mat, tools and extra fuel so I would be something over 8100 lb without me in the truck. All these examples are based on a 100 mile round trip to a town plus running around town so maybe 110 to 120 miles in total for a trip. Using regular fuel and I assume it always has some ethanol in it but don't know the percentage they blend in. Also speed wise I am going at 62 mph and non aggressive driving although less speed yet if its crappy winter condition roads. I am going by an initial reset of the computer generated fuel use numbers averaged over a couple of thousand miles or so for each weather/season so they may be more optimistic then actual hand calculated numbers. Basically this is painting a picture of doing the same drive but seasonal conditions and temperature being the major variable to the end result. Oh and although I am in Alberta Canada, I am converting it to miles per US gallon so there is no confusion.    So winter time it gets cold here, no real surprise there and the roads can be clear at times but also often have packed rough snow or are are driving through loose snow ( they do a poor job of plowing the highways ) and yes this includes the extra idle engine time due to trying not to freeze ones butt off. 12.7 mpg is what I was getting during the winter months on average.    Then during the spring when it was around the freezing point and the highways are clear of snow, I was getting around 14.25 mpg.   Summer time, I have been getting around 15.15 on average but certainly some of the trips showed quite a bit better fuel mileage, so much depended on how much or little I had driven around town and number of engine restarts after sitting for a while at each location. But stating a best fuel mileage trip to town pretending that is what the truck gets on average is fooling ones self for sure !.      As I said in a different post, I had driven a 645 mile trip over a couple of days stint to a different destination then these other daily to town examples above, and was done during the summer with nice weather and not bucking a head wind, also keeping at 62 mph and its a rolling landscape type highway drive ( this isn't southern Alberta or Saskatchewan flat lands ) Hand calculated fuel mileage in this case though and it came out to 17.65

      Factory front brake rotors...defect?

      By Chris80s · Posted

      On my wife's 2020 Blazer (~69000 miles), we started to notice the brakes pulsating at faster speeds. Typically around town you don't notice anything, but highway/interstate driving you will notice it. I decided to pull of the front tires and look at the brakes. I figured with the milage, the pads should be wearing out to their life span, but they actually looked decent. Still with "meat" on them. One pad has a ridge wearing in it, and that same rotor is showing the ridge too. That's not the concerning part...the other rotor appears to have a raised bump on it!  The picture make it look like a pimple! Very odd and strange! NOTE: These are the factory brakes and rotors.   I'm attaching pictures of the front brakes and what they look like ate ~69000 miles.
