Did you install the factory harness and switch in the cab? I have been thinking about this mod. Just not sure it is worth the cost for someone that really doesn't really go off-roading much.

If you don't go Off-road much at all then chances are you most likely won't need it. A locker can be helpful Off-road but I can tell you I did quite a bit in my 2019 Ranger without a locker

My first priority is to get adaptive cruise control installed. I will probably just leave the rear end alone. Thanks

Wouldn't bother with adaptive cruise at all. Even if it can be added, adjusting the radar is important and a pain. Regular cruise control is just fine

No we used a switch that came with it…
Frenchy is right if you don’t off road it’s not worth it. I’ve done a lot of wheeling, but I’m heading to Moab this spring. I’d rather have it. But that’s just me.

Alright thanks. It's an expensive mod for something that just get driven in the street.
I'll spend the money on something else

Well if you only drive it on the street it say keep your Ranger stock. No need for upgrades. But if you actual take it off road . Do what fits your needs . ??Alright thanks. It's an expensive mod for something that just get driven in the street.

Disagree, I added Adaptive Cruise and LOVE it. It's so useful I use it all the time. Cost was about $200 (used radar unit off e-bay $99, and a aftermarket mount $40 amazon, and some wire and a $65 steering wheel button).

For it to work correctly the radar has to be adjusted. Also I find it to be a pain in the ass to operate. I have driven many vehicles with it and it gets on my nerves. Have had similar comments from customers as well wanting to remove it.

Just have to make it level, which is pretty darn easy as the front of the unit it flat. Not hard at all. Yes it works correctly. Yes I realize it's not for everyone. but I like the fact that it will follow vehicles in front of me and brake when needed. One of the best upgrades I have done to my truck.
