Does anyone have any information on why I cant turn on adaptive cruise control.  And if it is supposed to be on automatically, then why will it not pace the car in from of me?

These trucks don't have adaptive cruise... not on any trim level. The feature you're probably seeing on your controls is to set the gap for accident avoidance.

Swift is correct.  When I bought my 2020 GMC Sierra Denali HD last December, I thought it had Adaptive Cruise Control.  I kept trying to figure out how to engage it on the two hour drive home from the dealer.  A disappointment for sure since I had it on a 2017 Yukon Denali and a 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee.  It is one option that I miss.

It's the one option I'm glad my truck doesn't have. I can't stand it !

 

When we take my wife's Highlander on trips I turn the cruise off if we get in traffic on the highway.

Same here, my 2018 Yukon had it. I bought my truck out of state and drove it home 400 miles and then took it straight to my buddies tint shop to have the two sides and full front windshield tinted, after tinting the windshield I kept trying to use adaptive cruise and couldn't get it to work so I thought maybe the tint on the windshield was interfering... turns out I didn't have it and thats why it didn't work. hahahaha

 

I could have swore I used it on the way home from the dealer. lol ?

OP's first post.

He may have a 1500, and posted in wrong section. 

If he has an HD, he's not the first that mistakenly thought the HD's had adaptive cruise.

 

 

We have it on a 1500.

 

It can be easily switched to regular cruise and of course can be switched off.  (unlike some vehicles that the choice is adaptive cruise or nothing).

 

Sometimes I use and like the adaptive.

Some situations I prefer regular cruise. 

Sometimes I prefer to just drive. 

 

Like most 'auto' functions, and like regular cruise, it reduces, but does not eliminate, the need  for driver adjustments and input.

The owners manual tells me how to operate it,  and when I called GM and gave them my vin they seemed puzzled that it didn't work.  When I asked my sales man about it he said it had and should just work.   What does setting the distance of the car in front of me supposed to do?  And will this feature be added?

Well, like others have said, if your truck really has adaptive cruise control you are posting in the wrong forum. The 1500 is the only truck that has it available, if you post in the 1500 forum you will probably get better responses on how to use it and if you do have a 2500/3500 then you don't have adaptive cruise control.

If GM thinks it has it, then it must be a 1500 and have the option?  

(and this thread is in the wrong section)

 

Did you switch it to regular cruise?

The vehicle will remember which cruise was last used, and will return to that mode the next time it is started. 

 

DIC should give a message when you switch modes.

Well this is disappointing! I'm a new owner of a 2020 2500 Denali. It's a sad day when the dealership doesn't take the time to learn their own product. The adaptive cruse control was one of the main features that I was looking for! I sat in the truck and the sales dude said "and it has adaptive cruse control". I tow so this would be extremely helpful. I took it back to the dealer and they looked at it and said I need to schedule a service appointment so they can fix it......?

I went from a 2020 GMC 1500 that had it, to a 2020 2500 and they do not have it. The 1500, when you put it in tow/haul mode the adaptive CC don’t work either. So my speculation is that the trucks are built to be tow, heavy loads, most to all of the time so they just didn’t put it in the trucks.

      No low range 4 x 4

      My 2015 1500 LTZ Silverado suddenly won't go into 4 x 4 low. It will go into 4 x 4 high.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Yep, just a quick reference point.    My main point being I’d do a thousand other things before I’d pay 10k for a transmission.    Speaking in ignorance cause I don’t look at these trucks, what is it worth? 20k?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      I think users are going to want to pick their monitored parameters, which parameters they want to see first.    It should probably start with baseline at a minimum and adjust to learned, but be able to overlay baseline for comparison.   A simple severity level would be able to determine what type of alerting is appropriate or user selectable.    Why not use the OBD port though?   I think a phone connection would be a good idea, push notifications type deal.   Number 1 issue is having data is useless if you don’t know what the data should be under normal conditions.

      summer road trips in the 2026 2500HD

      I thought I would use your thread and add to it as I just did my first longer drive with my truck in the last couple of days. I drove from the Grande Prairie area of Alberta down to Edmonton and most of where I drove in the city was the ring road so fairly free flowing but a bit of stop and go as well in the city. Stayed the night and returned home and not too many stops along the way each way but every restart and certainly every cold start sets it back for fuel mileage. Why I say that is I see some people will cherry pick a fuel mileage leg after the vehicle had been warmed up driveline wise before hand and its a forgiving ( easy rolling drive leg for example ) and call that their fuel mileage which can give a false perception of reality. I was not heavily loaded at all but never the less the flip bak cover, rubber bed mat, various tools etc and extra jerry cans of fuel all way up to a few hundred pounds of dead weight so its not an empty truck. The cold inflation tire pressures are set more near the freezing point so once they are warmed up driving I was showing 45 front and over 40 rear and realize high inflation pressures would help a little in fuel mileage but certainly not the ride on our crap sections of highway. The weather was good so was not raining as that can really drag mileage down, in fact I had a bit of a tail wind on average driving home. Most people on here would never have driven on that freeway to visualize it but its got a fair bit of rolling type of landscape with numerous river valleys. For the most part I had it on cruise set to 62 although kicking it off if I caught it in time before it started down shifting and self braking going down the grades. Most of the more substantial grades its shifting into 7th I believe as 8th just doesn't have it. Total distance round trip was 643 miles and my overall average and I did refuel three times in all, figured out to 17.65 miles per US gallon. My best fuel mileage section refuel within all of this figured out to 18.46 and these are all hand calculated figures. I find if anything that the trucks computer can be over optimistic, sometimes its pretty close but other times its stretching it. On paper persay in theory the truck would have just about made it on fumes for that whole drive without refueling once.    Which made me think of the topic thread of the wonder if these trucks could do 20 mpg and that is a good question, certainly would have to be on an easy going flat highway, no head wind, the right temperature, not packing around a bunch of dead weight and puttering along even slower than I was I would suspect and going steady and not stopping to smell the flowers or take a piss !. It probably is possible but not without effort to attain that with the wind resistance and weight of these trucks. Of course on my drive most people are passing me if they have the power as per loaded highway tractors, never mind a lot of speedy vehicles but the speed limit is 68 and most are at or well over that.

      Ac not keeping up

      By Aimatdeer · Posted

      Monday looks like a good day for the dealer to test an ac issue. Hopefully it all turns out good.
