This isn't going to be a how-to on it, since there are plenty out there. But not everyone that might be thinking about an XL version of the trucklett knows that you can add factory cruise control to them for around $100-120.
Ford in their great wisdom (At least for 2022) decided that cruise control would not be an option in the XL series Maverick. Too bad that the solution already exists to fix that problem.
Buy yourself the steering wheel controls from an Escape, or the whole steering wheel if you can find one in the junkyard. New parts will cost you about $90ish depending on where you get them.
The only other thing you need is Forscan and a suitable OBD2 dongle, and the will to mess with your trucks programming. Admittedly, even though I've done a few things with Forscan, this is still the part that makes me clench up the most, but that said, I've never had a problem with it.
Swap the switches, edit 3 lines in Forscan, and you are good to go. Less than an hour start to finish.
New switches installed in steering wheel.
Cruise control active.
Very good how-to video and the one I followed.
