Hey Nicole78 and welcome to the site!!!

Tons of info here with lots of help!! You are in a section that is all about the 2015 F150s, you need to go to another section to cover your model year.

Can someone confirm this one way or another? I was under the impression adaptive cruise works until you go below 12mph, then it automatically gets disabled, and you have to take over.

Secondly in regards to braking, I've read that the alarms can go off, etc, etc, but you have to stop the truck yourself. Now, when you tap/barely touch/etc the brakes and the collision warning is going off, I've read it will apply full braking to stop you as fast as possible without any additional effort (as long as you keep applying brake i'd assume). Can this be confirmed as well?

I really really wish they'd release full S&G adaptive cruise on Fords... even if it cost a few more thousand.

This is what Ford says.

Adaptive cruise control and collision warning with brake support* slows your vehicle down as a vehicle in front of you slows down; if you don’t react in time to a possible collision, the brakes precharge and increase brake assist sensitivity to provide full responsiveness when you brake.

I don't know if it will completely stop you or not but it a bit risky to give a try! It sure does come close.

Bed LED cargo lights.

I'm sure you're all aware there is a switch in the cab to turn these on but I just learned today that there is a button in the bed as well.

When looking at the bed from the back, near the first LED light on the left side there is a black square. This button turns the lights on and off. Difficult to see with a black bed liner.

Set the cruise and lane monitor and I tell my wife it is in self driving mode.
I wish but NOPE! on my dodge durango it will bring the car to a complete stop but on my ford it will disengage when speed falls bellow 15 or so MPH.

Do not expect it to bring the truck to a complete stop.

Beyond halogens-If I'm spending extra money on HL's:

I would rather have xenon HL's as I know how well they perform-which is very well indeed!!! Why doesn't a truck that costs so much offer xenons?

LED's are an unknown area in HL's for me(and most anyone else, unless you drank the koolaid from Ford to sell them), so I'll pass until I get to see what they do on the road and not on my dollar to find out. I'd like to see them performance tested for buyers!
Yeh, I'm OK with the orange ring as kinda cute and Audi,Chrysler and everybody else? has em, so why not?
