F-350 6.2 gas - cruise control response lazy
On cruise in rolling hill terrain the speed will drop 5 mph before the engine / trans gets around to leaning into the harness. The committee meeting takes longer than I like and it must annoy followin...

Short answer, is no. Longer answer is I presume you’re experiencing this “lag” with a trailer in tow.
From the towing with my previous 2012 and 2015 F250 gassers, this is the case. Not near as much lag running bobtail.
What you’re expecting is that the sensitivity of the cruise varies with load. And it doesn’t appear to.
The truck would effectively have to anticipate the grades and slope breaks in the highway and afaik, it doesn’t have an inclinometer built in like some of the newer trucks.
All that said, this is not something that would concern me, but rather a trait of the vehicle.
In contrast, the CC on my 1986 GMC is much more responsive. But to a fault as in it will instantly hammer the throttle to catch up and then cut the throttle to back down.
Solution for both of us, use our right feet as god intended and manually control the throttle input based on our personal computers (brains).
