I have installed factory accessory cruise control on many vehicles, they have become rather simple, a switch, wiring and sometimes a clockspring. Did you find an aftermarket kit for a better price? ---

Yeah, I’d pay extra for a factory accessory, given all the electronics now involved. ---

Seriously? Most people can see beyond the literal and read between the lines. The OP is asking if anyone HERE has ever done it and can provide advice. Most people who do not have any prior experience just keep their yap shut and move on… ---

I had a cruise control added to a 2000 Ford Ranger once, without any factory cruise control. I think a local transmission shop did the work. It worked really well, as I recall. ---

Having more time than money, I would consider getting it from an auto recycler and installing it myself. ---

Installing the switch involves removing the airbag and steering wheel.
