No cruise while towing?!?!? (1 Viewer)

[Six Overland]

Not sure if it’s just our trim level (Overtrail +) or if this is the case with all trims… but Adaptive Cruise and Lane Tracing Assist disables when a trailer is detected?!? We’re going to do some long distance camper towing and it seems ridiculous that these features disable when a trailer is detected.

Is there a fix or workaround for this?

How does the logic normally know a trailer is being pulled? The trailer hitch controller I would assume right? Hope this is not the case when i'm pulling my jetski... lol

We figured it out. You can use regular cruise control… but not adaptive with lane assist. Still kind of annoying not being able to use adaptive… but that’s at least better than nothing.

Thanks for getting back... yeah, i can deal with regular at least because long trips are usually when i'm using CC anyway... especially with trailering...

No offense, but IMO when you're towing you should be actively engaged in driving your truck, not relying on adaptive cruise or lane assist or any other nanny features.

Fair. But those long hauls, a little help to reduce fatigue would be nice to have. I’m sure your thoughts are in line with the manufacturer for safety. I can live with that.
