I normally wouldn’t want additional electrical junk on my vehicles. Especially that may lead to not paying attention to driving. My wife recently got my mother in law’s CRV. She quit driving. It has everything that people scream they can’t live without.. I wouldn’t pay extra for it. I can hit the up and down button as needed. Especially since I see it can lead to less attention paid to driving. So coupled with self braking with people paying too much attention to their phone. It’s probably a good thing.

I've got it on my AT4.  It took some getting used to. If people are driving like a dick and cutting you off it'll react pretty harshly to establish your distance.  In heavy but steady traffic it does a really good job with maintaining your set distance.  I usually set my cruise at 75 and provided you already have established yourself behind someone it'll take you from 75 to zero and back without you ever touching the brake pedal.

The 2019s didn’t get ACC, so unfortunately I am without. But I liked how it worked on my GMC Terrain loaner.
 

At this point I am just holding out for SuperCruise. That’s the real step forward in reducing driver fatigue. It’s only supported on a limited stretch of roads right now, but it will be expanded rapidly as GM offers it in more than just Cadillacs.

I really like the adaptive cruise control on my Lexus. Makes for less stress when driving long distances. I can just set it and put the distance on max and enjoy not having to continually adjust the CC. Wish I had it in my TrailBoss.

 

Now the Lane Keeping Assist just sucks ass. Can't tell you the number of times it's tried to take me on an offramp or the fact that it ping-pongs in the lane going from one side to the other. When I have it on, it physically makes me work harder to keep my car centered in the lane. If I casually let it do its thing, it's bound to run me into an 18 wheeler or off the road. This is where GM really needs to offer up Super Cruise on all its vehicles and show Toyota how its done.

ACC:  Our Toyota has it and I'm not sure I like it.  It functions well but I've got two issues with it.  

 

First:  If I'm in the fast lane and approaching an 18 wheeler with a car behind it.  Never fails the car speeds up to get in front of me to pass.  Leads to instant braking to establish the distance which can really mess up anyone behind you.  So, I've learned to disengage when this situation arises but still an annoyance.

 

Second, I am so used to seeing the car in front grow larger in the window as I approach and that triggers me to move over to the fast lane to pass.  With ACC I'll find I'm doing 60 to match the car in front when I thought I was at 70.  I know I can set the distance but it's a bit annoying.

 

For the lane departure, I don't use it in the suburban or the toyota because I don't like the car doing the steering.

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Yes that's right, it's the upgrade that includes the overload spring and all that stuff.   Someday when I'm empty and going by a scale I'm going to stop in and get some weight readings.   Exactly  you should have the ability to change individual settings, in in Canada so I'm driving with kph but then I'm stuck with kpa when I want psi lol

      Tire psi

      You must have that upgraded gvw package which is only available or at least was in 2025 with the diesel engine for the 3/4 ton and that gave the truck physically the larger 12.0 ring gear rear diff and the 3500 rear spring pack. There is a difference in what the diff housing looks like externally as one tell tale and also your truck should have the upper overload spring pack and the frame pads that the pack goes up against.    The pressure the tpms system kicks the alarm in on a stock setting truck, that is a good question and was just from what I recall but I doubt I made any notes on it as I knew for the rear that it was not at all what I was after regardless either. Being that you have a diesel and if running on stock tires the minimum pressure on an empty truck seems to be around 50 psi from hearing of those that have weighted the front axle but the rear axle is very similar in weight to a gas truck and again a near empty truck on the rear could go down to 35 pounds at minimum. However the weigh scale is the proper way to know for sure as a guide.    As to changing the readings on the dash from metric to the US measuring system, oh yes that is done easily but what I was attempting to explain was that I can't pick and choose items I want to have in US and those I still want in the metric system at the same time as its either all or none. For example lets say you drove into Canada and switched your dash over to metric so your speedometer read in km an hour, well then your reading kilopascals on your tpms readout and your wife looks over and says what the hell is that saying in the tpms screen and you say "darned if I know, I think its Chinese" !

      Some Assembly is Required

      This is partly why I decided to have switched over to Amsoil SS as a way of hopefully preventing the buildup of the sludge/carbon on the pistons and clogging of the oil control rings and the carbon that would cause the compression rings to stick in their grooves as well as stay cleaner up top of the heads in the valve train in the first place, an oil that has tested better by third party testing over typical shelf oil and also doing my best to run relatively short OCI. However in saying that I don't think there is any way to easily prove the oil I was using prior allowed for a buildup at the OCI I was doing, nor in the other direction to make claims the Amsoil is keeping everything clean either. There really isn't a window into the engine is there to know anything for certain even if oil samples were taken for example that showed still healthy oil being dropped out of the oil pan other than engine tear downs that extensive and expensive testing of oils does to actually visually see what is really going on inside the engine. I wish there was some easy method of seeing what is going on but I don't happen to be aware of that if there is.

      My truck is a ¾ ton but my placard also says 80 for the rear tires, I think I might have the upgraded suspension to the 3500 series maybe.   I put my air down to 60 and the light was still on, and there was no way I was putting over 60 psi in the rear empty and not towing because I knew the actual number Toyo gave me and I didn't wanna ruin the center of my tires!   And you actually can change it in the settings from metric or is and it will show kph or mph then when you go into your tire settings it will be either psi or kpa, but it would be nice to just change it directly on the tire psi page

      Common Sense Assembly   Your driveline is forgiving of the occasional mistake. It will even often forgive the random serious blunder. But it will not forgive a continuous bad habit.      What? Not everything needs to be a five thousand word essay.
