If there is a block in the center of the lower section below the grill, you have it.

Sitting in front of the intercooler? If I go out and look is it pretty obvious?

Ok, got it. No, don't have it. Seems like something that large would interfere with air flow to inter cooler or cut out at least 20% of it?

Take a look at your steering wheel.

In the set of Cruise Control buttons on the lower left, the trucks with ACC have a pair of Up and Down buttons next to the Set+ and Set- buttons like in the photo below (the Up/Down buttons set the following distance)

The trucks without ACC have Resume and Cancel buttons there like the image below

Is that pretty much a Lariat package feature? I never saw it on any XLT trucks when I was shopping.

Jeeze! How long have I had this truck and never noticed that? Even with the distance driving me crazy when I use cruise. Maybe I should look at that book in the glove box. :(

It is an awesome feature that makes cruises much much more usable. One of the many reasons I live my truck.

I love it on trips. Makes interstate traveling so much better. I like the fact that you can adjust your following distance without having to reset the cruise.

Just a tip about adaptive cruise, if you're approaching a slower vehicle and the truck begins to slow, using your left turn signal will cause the truck to accelerate slowly for the lane change. It does not work when the right turn signal is used, because you know, left lane for passing.

Bro! This is going to change my whole experience. I always hit the gas or canceled the cruise because of this. Happy to know I can use the blinker to.
