i 100% agree, manuals got the very short end of the stick on tech, and it makes me wonder if Ford is trying to encourage manual guys to go to auto for the better tech so they can say "nobody is buying manuals anymore, let's discontinue them"
i'm not quite sure what you are talking about, but let me clarify some stuff
1. this original thread is talking about the button on the bottom-left of the left steering wheel button cluster on the 2024+ Mustangs, not the 2015-23's
2. yes, i do have adaptive cruise and lane keeping, and i do know...
handling package gives you
- ability to get carbon fiber wheels
- front tow hooks
- factory adjustable strut top mounts
- unique wing and gurney flap in shadow black (parts are PR3Z-6344210-EB and PR3Z-6344210-AB, total cost of them is ~$4000 before tax)
- added value if you ever re-sell it

yep, manuals have adaptive cruise with lane keeping. automatics have adaptive cruise with stop and go and lane centering.
i have no idea what the button is for, nearby it is already the button for on/off, follow distance, set speed + and -, lane keeping/centering, and cancel/resume
as far as i have seen, only one person has claimed that Ford says the Dark Horse requires premium. it doesn't, and Ford has never claimed it does. the only similar thing is the disclaimed that horsepower and torque ratings are done by an SAE standard that requires 93 octane.
has anyone else noticed that one mystery button on the left button set on the steering wheel (underneath cruise control on/off and to the left of "set -")?
i have never seen this icon before in any Ford, not even a 2023 F-350 Platinum. only thing i can kinda think of is maybe it's the speed...
i made a new discovery this morning, i always assumed that the 600A and 700A interiors on the build and price were reversed, but after looking closer they're not. since the 600A recaros use the same scheme as the 700A recaros and by extension the 700A non-recaro scheme, the one we have yet to...
finding pictures of a 700A non-appearance non-recaro interior is basically impossible at the moment, but Ford's ECat system lists these for the Dark Horse interior

I could really only find pictures of the recaros, which are the same on 600A and 700A
Non-Appearance
With Appearance
you really gotta love dark blue for the appearance pack, there is so much of it
it looks like every part is the same since 2015, except the frame of the roof, which is new for 2024
also, OP mentions SSM 51523, but SSM 51712 is basically the same, but the expected resolution timeframe is changed to Q3 2023
Ford's builder has the interiors mixed up, that's the 600A. there is a 700A with and without appearance pack, and the 700A interior shown on ford's build and price only has the appearance pack. at work currently, but when i get home i'll post screenshots of the difference if i can find them
