ACC/FCW is Awesome, but why do you Like it Most?

[JT614]

There is lots of chatter across the forum around ACC/FCW and why people like it. While the same system performs two distinct functions I'm curious which function do you like best? I personally like the system mainly because of the FCW. In my JGC's it's helped me many a time, and even a few times so far in the JT. I do like the ACC as well, especially on road trips, but the added safety provided with FCW is invaluable!

FCW FTW.

ACC can bite me though. I want the truck to do exactly what I tell it to. Sure, warn me when I might be making a mistake. But don't do things unless I tell you.

Control freak I guess.

I wish I could control the sensitivity of the throttle in ACC, and braking.

It brakes too hard and throttles too hard for my tastes.

Other than that I use it on every drive...

Which do I like best? I don't like these rules. I'll play by my own. I like the FCW because it saves my pocket book from my own idiocy (not paying attention to the important stuff) and I like the ACC because I can pay less attention to the boring stuff (micro adjustments of speed due to freeway traffic). Like ralphjr, I wish the slow down code was smarter for vehicles exiting the freeway as it brakes way too hard and I often override it so people behind me don't think I'm special.

As an aside - its interesting to see Youtube reviewers who are used to more "manual" vehicles and how they like ACC.

one more reason why JT costs more than an average workers annual salary. Hey look at what some people thought was cool back when.
