The only option my 2014 doesn't have and I wish it did is the Adaptive Cruise Control, this may have been standard on the 2015, I know it is on the 2016+ with the new body style.
You can tell if it is has it by the bottom 5th button on the right side steering wheel.

Our '13 Land Cruiser gives you a choice of adaptive or regular cruise control. Adaptive is workable on relatively level roads, barely.
If you're in the mountains and/or pulling a trailer, adaptive cruise will eat your brakes. What should happen is down shifting going down hill, with torque converter locking to slow the truck. IMO it's best to drive with regular cruise, use manual shifting as needed to slow you down with torque converter lockup. My job, especially pulling a horse trailer, is to give the horses a safe and comfortable ride. Using adaptive cruise won't do that.

This has not been my experience. I find that the only downside to the radar cruise is that when I come up behind a slower vehicle it adjusts speed so smoothly that I sometimes find myself going 10 km/h slower than I thought I was going. Of course if I want engine braking to go down a hill I downshift but the paddle shifters make this almost fun. And I have pulled a trailer from Vancouver to the Arctic Ocean and back. I have not seen any excessive brake wear at all. My job is to give my wife and the dog and cat a smooth and comfortable ride.
