ES Dynamic Cruise Control

I've been searching for a 13/14/15 ES 300h with Dynamic Radar Cruise Control. Lexus listed dynamic cruise as an option, but I can't find a single ES that actually has it installed. I've looked at a LOT of cars. Looking at the owners manual, it seems the option is identified by an extra button on below the telephone & DISP buttons on the right side of the steering wheel.

Did Lexus just not install this option on many cars?

Honestly I don't see DRCC much even on the GS and LS - it was a pricey option for a long time.

Dynamic Radar cruise control was introduced on 2014 model year. From what I can see in my market (Chicago - Midwest) the car must have Ultra Luxury package and then optional dynamic cruise control. It does adds 2 more buttons on steering wheel. I test drove one of those and the only concern I had that it didn't correct line departure, only warned me - but that's what I was looking for.

Actually, it was also available with the 2013 ES. I had to special order it to get one so equipped. I was lucky when I purchased a 2015 ES as my dealer had one on the lot.

I am on busiest Hwy in Canada daily commuting to Toronto, driving 100 km back and forth. I tested the DRCC under many weather conditions and use it daily. It is very precise and safe...I just love it. You may full around with the stereo while locked on 120km/hr and this helps a lot if a sudden jackass cuts your face. I have ES350 Exec package 2016. You can trust it blindly....
