Probably. The harness to the steering wheel with Multi-function controls probably has the cruise wire in it along with the many others, whereby the the non version would only have horn & airbag ones..... $$$Is it true MS1 Cruise Control cannot be added by dealer to 2019's w/o C6L Multi-function sterring controls? There are many 2019 vans sitting on dealer lots w/o C6L and without MS1 cruise control.
Mechanical one that keeps the gas pedal pressed at a specific rate..not so much. An electronic one would be probably be harder than installing solar, cabinets, floors, insulation combined.Why would anyone purchase a modern vehicle without cruise control?
I guess the second question is - how hard it this to add to a vehicle that doesn't have it?
Fleets would opt-out. It's all aboooot cost. There is no return on investment for this item.Why would anyone purchase a modern vehicle without cruise control?

Fuel milage benefit of a cruise control would pay for itself in a couple months or less, especially for a fleet vehicle.Fleets would opt-out. It's all aboooot cost. There is no return on investment for this item.
Can you provide any citations for these fuel benefits?Fuel milage benefit of a cruise control would pay for itself in a couple months or less, especially for a fleet vehicle.
I think you should provide the citations since its you who believes electronic throttle application by a computer which can adjust itself hundreds of thousands times a second at the highest injector precision is not more fuel efficient than the right foot of a fleet vehicle driver wearing a sketchers boot with an uneven sole.Can you provide any citations for these fuel benefits?
Fleets that run in urban areas do not use or need cruise.
It is good to see both sides of the story. In your case I'd put the blame on the chevy cruise design engineers and badly coded transmission software. Does not change the reality that you get worse gas milage with it, its not the technology but its implementation in this case.My silverado gets about 2mpg less on the freeway with cruise control on. That is versus me actively trying to get the best mileage with it off, but my cruise control downshifts way too much and runs it up past the set mph. It has a heavy foot.
You said stop and go traffic. Conventional cruise won't work below like 20mph, does the active cruise in the mercedes van stop the van in stopped traffic and creep 5mph etc.. ? Because that would be an insanely good system for me. Combined with active lane assist I can basically take a napFor anyone who does a bit of highway driving, cruise control is a great tool - regardless of whether it hurts or improves fuel economy.
The new distance-following cruise control makes driving way more relaxing, particularly in stop and go traffic.
I watched a video review where it kept up with traffic and changing speeds and brought him to a stop. It did not start back up when the car in front moved. Not sure if he did something wrong, but I can see legal issues with a vehicle moving forward from a stop by itself. Hopefully I'm wrong.You said stop and go traffic.

Adding a factory cruise control can be anywhere from easy to nearly impossible, depending on the manufacturer. For Mercedes, I'd guess it's toward the impossible end, since Mercedes is not known for making anything easy.I guess the second question is - how hard it this to add to a vehicle that doesn't have it?
What a red herring!I think you should provide the citations since its you who believes electronic throttle application by a computer which can adjust itself hundreds of thousands times a second at the highest injector precision is not more fuel efficient than the right foot of a fleet vehicle driver wearing a sketchers boot with an uneven sole.
Personal account : my tacoma gets 3mpg better while cruise control is on.
Yeah!!! My Mazda CX9 had a very well implemented adaptive cruise control feature but it turned off when speed dropped below 14 mph. You should have seen me maneuvering, trying to keep my speed above 14.You said stop and go traffic.
