Adaptive Cruise upgrade?

Jimmy-Mack · February 26, 2023

Can a dealer upgrade the software on a 2021 GMC 2500HD Gas to active Adaptive Cruise?

Active Cruise is not available on the HD trucks. I believe the '24 might have it.

No. Can't be done.

2024s will have it as an option.

I was on the GMC build site today. And yes they offer it for the 24's. And that new interior infotainment center is to die for. If I was in my 30's or 40's I would totally buy one. I can afford it now, but don't want to. That's what age will do for you. So enjoy it while you can for sure!!

It was an option on my 2022 Ultimate, but I opted out of it. I guess I should have got it for resale value.

Again, not on the HD trucks it wasn't.

Maybe it wasn't I was sure he asked if I wanted it, either way it's not an option that makes sense anyway.

I've had adaptive cruise on several vehicles that I've owned in the past....Worth every penny....so funny that the two vehicles I own now don't have it.....lol...it is kind of funny how times regress at times. The best ever is the Ford 360+.....had it on a basic 2021 SE Escape....that was off the charts. All I had to do was make sure my hands were on the wheel, because it would ****** at me if it didn't feel a pressure, and that little Escape would basically drive itself. Creepy at first I will say...but cool as hell....I would set the cruise, it would slow down in traffic to a stop, take off again when traffic starting moving, keep it lane centered, it was amazing...I have to give Ford 2 thumbs up for the 360+. I traded it in on my beloved 2500 beast but I have to give credit when credit is due. Regardless of manufacturer.

My apologies for being negative against it, I live in the country where I don't think it makes sense if I get behind a vehicle going slower, I'll just pass it rather than speed up and slow down with somebody who is not using cruze. I like to drive at a constant speed.

I don't think you were negative at all. You live in the country....My dream come true hopefully in the next few years!! I LOVE THE COUNTRY!!! The people are amazing, the life is so laid back. I can't wait and hopefully someday will be able to live a life like yours. And yes I really mean that!!!

I drove big trucks with that, about got rear-ended because someone pulled in front of me and the brakes came on. Sisters have it in their vehicles. One can shut it off. And the other one wish she could. So she sets the distance out short as possible. So I'm glad mine don't have it. If you are coming up on a vehicle and it kicks in, you slow down and never catch them. Unless you override it.

Wasn't sure if there been a upgrade by now or not. I've driven a couple of rental cars now with the adaptive cruise. Finally figured how to manage with it to my liking. It's amazing tractor trailers have it, but GM didn't put it on on my 2500.

Glad to see that I am not the only one who enjoys adaptive cruise. My wife's vehicle has it and I use it often. It is definitely something I am looking for my next truck to have.
