Yes, with ForScan.

Like 2002 said, you can probably use ForScan to turn it off completely, just be aware of the fact that if the dealership updates the PCM as part of a recall or to fix another issue it will likely get turned back on.
Beyond that it should be like the Start/Stop in the 2.7L F-150s, where it got treatment similar to traction control where there was a button to turn it off, but once the key was cycled the system would be turned back on.

On the F-150's it automatically turns off if the system detects a trailer in the wiring... so if you add resistance to the wiring (something like a light up hitch plug) it thinks there is a trailer and doesn't activate.

I don't know about the Ranger, but on certain new ford models, there is a button on the dash or console you can press to turn off stop start, but I think you have to push it every time you start the vehicle.
I've driven vehicles with stop start and to be honest it's no big deal, I even stopped a vehicle on a hill and the engine turned on right away and the vehicle only rolled back a tiny bit before it moved forward again.

The stop start is especially bothersome in stop and go traffic. I had a rental Escape that had it and I never minded it much until I was in a traffic jam. Just seems like a lot of extra stress on the starter and battery.
Otherwise, I got used to letting my foot off the brake a bit before I wanted to move off. That would start the engine.

My deal is I learned to drive on a very cold blooded 2.8 that died all the time so whenever I think an engine is dying in a car I have a small panic attack and get on the gas trying to save it.
Sooo, if I get a new Ranger start-stop will probably die ASAP. I think I would go nuts with it.

In the F150's (all), there is an off button on the dash. The symbol is an A with a semi-circle arrow around it, next to the TC off button. I'm sure the Ranger will have a button also. Pretty simple to hit the off button. Also, there are variables involved. A lot to explain there. Most have to do with engine temp and cab temp.
