I have 2010 Ranger xl 4 cyl automatic. I would like cruise control. From my understanding my Ranger xl did not come prewired like previous Rangers.what the best way. Thank you.
 
You are correct the XL would not have that wiring

There are kits for adding cruise to any vehicle
But heads up, our 1983 to 2011 Ranger never had ETC(electronic throttle control), i.e. "drive by wire", they used a throttle cable from gas pedal to throttle plate

So the kit you need will have to use an actuator in engine bay, with cable to throttle plate to hold throttle open at set speed
ETC kits won't have that
 
Yes
Needs connection to a Speed sensor, to "know speed of vehicle"
Connection to Brake pedal, to turn cruise off
12v key on and ground

And an actuator(speed control servo), electric or vacuum operated, to hold throttle open and change it as needed to hold speed

Problem in 2001-2011 Rangers is that there was no speed sensor like older years, the computer was the "speed sensor", it would have an Output pin for cruise and speedometer
In 2004 and up the speedometer/cluster went full digital so no analog speed signal needed

In 2010 the computer(PCM) used a 3 connector setup C175A, C175B and C175C
C175B pin 1 should be a purple/orange strip wire, that was just for cruise control , the "speed signal" you would need, not sure wire will be there
