That would be extraordinarily dangerous.
Why? That is exactly how my wife’s Suburban works. Once you turn it on it stays on after the ignition is cycled. I prefer this as you then only need to set your speed when you want to engage cruise. No need to push two buttons to turn on cruise and then set speed.

I have no idea why they do this, it drives me nuts. Our Honda is always on, the Jeep you have to turn it on every time you get in.

My dad like to run his silverado like this. Always on. It is extremely dangerous because you might accidentally hit resume while sitting in traffic or at slow speeds and the vehicle jumps ahead thinking it needs to quickly get to 70 mph. At the very least I would think it’s bad for the vehicle if it tries to run up to a high speed from a dead stop. The extra steps are a safety feature and I think it’s well worth it.

Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think the last speed setting issaved, but rather just the fact you had it “on” is saved. So if you hit resume it wouldn’t do anything because the speed isn’t saved.
trying to remember right from my Wife’s old Tahoe.

Wouldn't this also happen if you turned on cruise control then came to a stop or slowed down? I've never heard of this happening. Can't be too dangerous?

Most vehicles worked that way for years, not dangerous at all.

On the 2.3/MT when you activate cruise, it automatically enables the feature and locks you in at that speed. Regardless of on or off, it’s a one touch feature to get it running. From there you are free to use the controls as standard.
I can’t speak for the AT however.

I'm used to seeing the indicator status as "on/ready" in the cluster in my other vehicles. I'm still getting used to the difference in the Bronco but yes, this is how the AT Bronco works too. A single press of the on button also sets the speed.

This makes my day. I had no idea and probably wouldn’t have ever thought to try it.
(If I wanted my joy spoiled, maybe I’d try to figure out the purpose of the On button in light of this information, but I’m inclined to just call a win a win.)

So tough to turn it on. What's happened in our world? You have to start chainsaws, too. What a pain.
For that matter, even starting the vehicle. Why can't they just be running all the time? lol

It doesn't take two button presses. Just hit the set button (or whichever is right/center of the group) and it will turn on, and engage cc.

I dont believe that this is in any way a dangerous feature So are many car makers. I'm used to it and have developed a "muscle memory" to always expect it to be on.
On Land Rovers for example, the equivalent of "on/off" button toggles between CC and speed limiter. And of course the last state is persistent, not the speed.
