Cruise Control Tungsten

[Ramit392]

Anyone know a way around the adaptive cruise control in the 2025 Tungsten? So darn annoying to have adaptive on and cannot turn it off! Had both types of cruise on my 23 Ram Laramie and always had adaptive turned off and used the standard cruise control with it.

Wow you can't turn it off ? That sucks.

I turn the distance way down, so it mostly acts like regular cruise control.

I cannot turn it off and it sucks bad.

I have it all the way down, and it will run up on some slowly and slow down to under the speed I have set on until I pass. Sometimes I don't notice it, other times it puts the brakes on automatically to slow down hard if I never changed lanes fast enough with it turned all the down ):. So very annoying and the only thing I don't like about the Tungsten.

My Limited has 2 CC buttons on the right side of the steering wheel.

The right button is on/off for the ACC/Driver Assist.

I haven't tried it yet, but I thought the other button was on/off for regular cruise control. Is it not?

Is one ACC with no driver assist and the other is ACC with driver assist?

Also, now that I'm thinking about it, I *think* I might have seen something in the settings (on the Uconnect) that has something to do with that? (I've only had my '25 since last Thursday). Have you looked there to see if there's a way to change the one button from ACC to just CC?

I don't believe that newer vehicles have regular cruise control anymore? I believe adaptive cruise control is going to be the normal from now on. Likely deemed a safety issue.

On my 25 limited, the left button is adaptive cruise control. The right button is for the driver assist/hands free. I don't believe there is just a regular old school cruise control.

I did verify that on my Limited the other day. But, I did not go back through all the settings in Uconnect and see if there is some option to make the left button work as just regular CC.

Don't at least some of the lower trim levels still come with only regular CC? If so, then I can't see why they wouldn't allow a Limited or Tungsten to run CC in that mode.

Modern technology can't live with it can't live without it. lol

It's no issue, for me. I just like to know how it's supposed to work and what the capabilities are.

On my '21 Limited, I had one button for ACC and one button for regular CC. In the whole time I owned that truck, I used ACC ALL. THE. TIME. I think I might have turned on the regular CC one time in the 3 years I owned the truck.

If there is no traffic, CC and ACC work the same. If there IS traffic, it would be pretty rare for me to want to have my truck run right up on someone's bumper and me have to either swerve to change lanes to avoid plowing them or me have to get on the brakes myself. If traffic is sparse enough that I wouldn't have to run right up on them before I could change lanes, then I can change lanes before I get close enough for the ACC to start slowing down. Or I can just put my foot on the gas pedal for a few seconds to override the ACC and maintain my speed until I get changed into a new lane.

Not having regular CC is not an issue for me, at all. But, if it's an option via some setting I can change, I still want to know.
