Ford Needs to Give the Ford Maverick XLT the Adaptive Cruise Control

Sorry but I don't follow, I'm a leader.

One touch up and down should be standard on all Mavericks. More of a safety feature than not. How expensive could that be to put it on everything instead of just select vehicles? My 2020 Honda civic had adaptive cruise control and lane, correct and braking.
I wanted Blindspot monitoring on my 2025 XLT so I upgraded the copilot 360. Supposedly you then lose the adaptive cruise. That does not make any sense. I don’t think I’ll be buying a Ford again. At my age I need all the safety features. I’ll go back to Toyota’s and Hondas. I have a 2020 Ford transit connect that I bought New and have 105,000 miles on it. It has no safety features but I still like it. I’ll get rid of the Maverick before I get rid of the Ford transit connect.

XLT doesn't get Adaptive Cruise. Adding CP360 1.0 doesn't lose the Adaptive Cruise. Many are getting the CP360 Assist confused with CP360 Assist+. Assist plus is where you had Adaptive Cruise in 22-24MY. In 2025 they called the standard CP360 features Assist. I knew it confused people which is why they remove it on the latter 2025 from the optional equipment.

I'll say again: BlueCruise should be an option on the Lariat. It is basically glorified lane centering which it already does. Plus, for Ford, it is an extra couple hundred dollars a year per truck. Even if the take rate is only 25%, it would more than offset the cost of including the computer hardware on every Lariat.

Well we can cross our fingers for canbus key recovery or crack for 25 so we can use the open source self drive stuff.

It is available on the platform mate Corsair, bluecruise so you wouldn't think it was a biggie. Maybe we're waiting for...

First there was the gussied up F150 called the Blackwood, now introducing the first Lincoln compact truck with deluxe supercrew accommodations, the Lincoln Blacktwig, 50 Miles of PHEV range and euro spec 250HP hybrid system, plus electric AWD axle with 50HP, standard BlueCruise and 5 years free connectivity, all for less than $80,000 ... by like a buck.

that is never going to happen if ford did their job right. it should not be feasible to break modern encryption.

also, the plus side, is that your 25+ maverick is not going to get stolen by someone using a professional criminal device wired into a turn signal.

The Long McArthur videos on YouTube gave me more information than the Ford website did when it comes to ordering. He produced some pretty good videos on the Ford maverick. If all the major imports have adaptive cruise standard, why can’t Ford give it to you on upgraded models besides the lariat?

If FORD "gave" things away they would be out of business. Go buy an import small 5 passenger pickup instead. Oh wait there isn't one.

If it was standard equipment included in “Safety Features” it wouldn’t be a give away would it? Oh wait, they would go out of business! Lol! Honda and Toyota ain’t out of business supposedly giving it away.
Oh wait, you’re an economics major! Lol!

check your MyView settings by hitting the menu button on the right side of the steering wheel.

you have options for alert, aid, or alert+aid. alert is a nudge in the steering wheel, kind of a vibration. there is a setting for the intensity of the alert.

there is no option for audible alert, just like the blind spot side mirrors. I like it that way, but many people coming from brands that chirp at you constantly apparently want that. I hate nuisance chirping.

Ok. Mine is activated but doesn't seem to assist. Maybe the road markings weren't that clear at the time so I'll experiment to get familiar with it. Thanks.

Update...played around with it and lane keeping is definitely working, especially when road markings are good. Find it somewhat inconsistent to the point of being annoying so just turned it off for local driving - much better driving experience! When on longer highway trips I'll experiment with using it again.

Nearly 75% of sales are XLT trim or lower; who is getting forced?

I was forced to by a Lariat.

I would have bought her a Limited or Platinum, but they made me get a Lariat instead!

yup. I did this. “Assist”

 

[nunucello]

I agree. Adaptive Cruise Control should be standard in XLT

Lane Keeping System (part of cp360 1.0) is not the same as Lane Centering which is a feature of ACC (can only be activated when your ACC is set. Lane Centering will help keep you in the Center of the lane lane keeping which can be used with our without the cruise control can Alert you or assist in trying to help you not cross over the line.

Just thought you should know the difference. XLT does not get Lane Centering but can get Lane Keeping with the $795 Co-Pilot360 1.0 package along with BLIS, CTA, and Rear Parking Sensors.

Has anyone really tried this and does it actually work without 360?

Ford Needs to Give the Ford Maverick XLT the Adaptive Cruise Control
First let me correct something. Ford won't be giving anything to anybody.
A correct title would be.
Should Ford have adaptive cruise control as an add-on option to XLT's.

Do I like adaptive cruise control? Yes.
How much extra would I pay for it as a add on?? I don't know.

I would have loved a Lariat, had Ford offered fabric seats. Instead of fake leather which is intolerable in the summertime when the temperatures are 110°+ ambient 140°- 150° interior, here in the desert Southwest.

Perforated pleather / ActiveX would offer some type of airflow versus the solid material.

I wish they would have included cooled seats with the Lariat package. Since the fake leather will be hot in summer. Had this feature in another vehicle I owned and it makes all the difference. A.C. air pumped thru the center core of front seats. It can't cost that mich more to include...it's really the only thing missing.

From a competitive point of view, they should make Active Cruise Control standard for all trims. In today's world, there could be future liability issues for any new vehicles not having this as standard.

 

[ScooterAddict]

It is standard for Honda and Toyota.
