I feel like as long as a motion sensing proportional brake controller as opposed to a time delay controller is being used everything should function just fine. And I would agree that while pulling any load a safe enough distance should be kept anyway that the AEB shouldn't need to be used.

They don't even specify if it will be in the dash somewhere like on an F-Series or just some goofy accessory like the keypad. Ford doesn't tell me or my fellow technicians very much unless it's broken or recalled. After driving mine for about a month it does feel like the ranger was rushed into...

Here’s what I saw at SEMA with a part number of VKB3Z-2C006-A

I happen to know a guy at Canby Ford who would happily toss some LED bulbs in there while replacing the housing under warranty. If you specify what side while scheduling the appointment the housing can be preordered and ready to go. Probably take longer to do the paperwork than to do the repair.
I might be a little biased. I work there. But experience was awesome. Easy as can be. I was in training the week it came in and they stayed open late so I could still pick it up.
You don't have to buy the Bosch communication module that ford sells. VCM clones usually go for under $200. I've never personally used a clone but I have heard of others using them. IDS is awesome if you work on newer Fords a lot.
Do you happen to be able to to monitor PIDs for the sccm? Seeing how far the request to activate cruise is getting may help narrow down what your missing. I noticed the BPP switch has a separate switch in it for cruise as well.
I just checked the workshop manual for rangers. They use the ABS and RCM for cruise. Trucks with active cruise control have an additional CCM as well, something to look out for when comparing as built.
