Works great on my '18 JL manual. Super easy to engage, disengage or change speed.

I also use mine a lot, and I drive weekly between Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Works well. I don’t do too much highway driving but if I did I would use it often.

Just drove 2,500 miles round trip to Colorado with cruise, wouldn’t have wanted to do it without, as others have said, works great

I used it on long distance trips in the JK, set it to the speed limit and gun it, when you see a cop foot off the gas and it quickly drops to the speed limit.

It works great until you get to a decent hill.

Works fine. If I come to a hill and start slowing down I just downshift then tap resume.

Mine is a jk so take it with a grain of salt

The only issues I have had is the under powered 6 can't keep speed at altitude on any sort of incline. So I'll have to down shift for every even slight hill.

Second it is way over sensitive to wheel spin. Any bump more than a tiny crack and it see a tire lift for even a minute fraction of a second and it cuts cruise. I have to hit resume on an astounding number of bumps. I'm sure this is less present in the 4 doors with the extra weight.

For cruise with manual in general my V8 Dakota was perfect with it. I could run from Florida to Missouri and only have to down shift a few times in the Smoky mountains.

It works great until you get to a decent hill.
And even then you can downshift and it will automatically bring you back up to speed as long as you don’t hit the brakes or cancel it out.

It’s great. Unless you got a lot of hills on your drive. But otherwise it is wonderful
