Not quite sure how I feel about this addition. It sounds good on paper but all I see is more things to go wrong.

I wish my '15 3.5EB had it. I end up idling my truck for over an hour every day and I'd prefer the truck to just shut itself off if it doesn't need the engine running.

I find myself annoyed when my truck does not turn off now (i.e. defrost is on) and my GF, after driving my truck for awhile, has decided to trade her car in for one that has auto stop/start also.
I will not buy another vehicle that does not have it standard.

Pretty sure this is the raptor interior. Up fitter switches, raptor style wheel, & looks like raptor seats.
Shows the auto start/stop button above nav. And 360 cam button the way it looks. What I found surprising was no push button start and no 8 inch cluster screen.

Yeah this option is not to bad and you do get use to it. As someone said we waste so much gas just sitting at idle when we don't need to. I does not affect the drivability.
Wish mine had this and it will probably because more standard on a lot of vehicles in the future.

I have the 2.7L with start/stop and I think it's of questionable value. Generally when I'm idling I'm in a long line of cars gradually itching ahead. The truck has to start back up immediately and doesn't spend any time off and saving gas. The only time that I see it as beneficial is the rare case that I'm one of the first few cars stuck at a slow traffic light.
That said, most of the complaints seem inconsequential to me:
Climate control - if you're uncomfortable, all you have to do is press a button. Not any different in effort than adjusting the climate control in general.
Stop and go traffic - turn it off if it's bothering you.
The only case where I do have an issue with the system is when I'm waiting for a break in traffic to pull out. I have to remember to disable the system in those cases.
