Hello, I like your video very much! It is fascinating! Very straightforward, audible, clear, practical, easy and convincing explanations! Extremely helpful and beneficial indeed! The only problem I have back in my country-Cambodia is that we don’t have such wide and good Highways to enjoy and take advantages of this cruise control which could other wise enhance fuel efficiency as you’ve rightly mentioned as long as I wish. I tried to turn it on and in the next five or 10 minutes I have to push a break as traffics are usually very busy with many cars (and event cows and buffalo or dogs are on streets) coming and going or crossing ! Thanks so much again. I appreciate your time to share and explain your technical expertise and very practical experience! God bless you!

Biggest reason to use cruise control is so you don't annoy every single person in the world I can handle going slow but I can't handle constantly changing speed based on somebody who doesn't use cruise control

Not to mention money saved on speeding tickets.

I agree to an extent. However cruise control is most efficient on level roads. On hilly roads, the control cannot for see climbs. Engineers who specialize in high efficiency applications recommended to gain momentum before hills. And coast down them. Also, some people rest their right below the peddles and make a habit of it. It the event where a quick maneuver is needed, their foot is lodged behind the peddles and they can't brake or accelerate in time. (Which is why I disagree to the rule where drivers should only drive with one foot instead of using one for brake and one for throttle) Cruise control is a great feature, but is safest on open and level roads while always being alert for an emergency
Happy Motoring

Hi Jeb Ledbetter!  Thank you for the question!  I'll be glad to make a Ford F150 clip as soon as I can get my hands on one!

Mine broke in my 1994 dodge van and I used it all the time it kept me from getting a ticket I used it every time I go from state to state and across country but it has failed and a retro one that I can buy and put on is over $500 and if you don’t think that it’s not sad I wish somehow I could Jerry rig a cruise control on my three-quarter ton dodge van I sure need to I believe in it

Hey Brock I was wondering if you could do a few videos on a Ford F-150, specifically the 4 wheel drive aspect. Thanks!

How are you suppose to use cruise control in the city ?

[willillybab]

Who cares about fuel efficiency, the ONLY TRUE BENEFIT of using cruise control is that it helps keep you from getting SPEEDING TICKETS.  So many times there are areas in the road where there are slight downward inclines and without you realizing it your car will speed up just enough that the cop at the other end will guarantee himself giving you a speeding ticket for going 5 MPH over the limit.  These days its all about REVENUE GENERATION and police will give you tickets for as little as 3 MPH over the speed limit, so don't feed the police revenue stream, keep the money in your wallet and use your cruise control to set your car's speed to EXACTLY the speed limit and drive worry-free.

Here is just one example of police stopping drivers for speeding 3 MPH over the speed limit;

One leg free from accelerator will not help making a video or focusing on other things.. there could be other good reasons like get rid of over speeding etc.. but certainly not focusing or making a video..!

i've been driving for 7 years I went on 8 hour road trips and I've never used cruise control once

driver fell asleep with cruise control on

[dasdasdsa]

what a stupid piece of advice. You're telling people to multitask while driving. If one or more wheels hydroplanes, the cruise control will be confused by the slow down in speed, and attempt to correct it. It cannot 'see' your car is skidding fast enough, so the car will attempt to accelerate before it realizes it's doing so too fast (as if in neutral) and shuts itself down. Or, it won't see anything, if you will, and keep the power on, and the car is just spinning out of control at that point.

Either way, the damage is done, you've hit a tree or something.

Cruise Controll uses up more fuel fact
