If anyone takes offense, well, OK then. Nobody was called a name specifically. Stereotype a good chunk of this board, and its safe to say new automotive technologies are generally frowned upon, which meets the very definition of a luddite. Doesn't seem to matter what it is. When I joined, it was 5w20 oils. "Fake" synthetic oils. Lately, its GDI, TGDI, Auto Start Stop, Oil Change Algorithims, etc...
I even went out of the way at the end to say if your choice is to not use the system just because you don't like it, then I'd disagree with your choice. If you think these are terrible systems, why? What can't be engineered around? Written out with the programming (like the huge laundry list of items that will shut the system off for example). When folks come up with a reason, most of them have been dealt with in one way or fashion. When you point it out, it is often not good enough, and usually ends in a huff...
The OP asked for an opinion on this system on this specific truck. I own one, use it, and like it. Yes, I've adapted my driving style to the system. It provides quantifiable mileage gains in my use. Others may not see that, and I'm fine with that.
