I'm very impressed with my '19 Ranger Lariat FX4. It drives very nice on road and I was surprised how well it did offroad on stock tires and no lift. It handled some pretty rough terrain, rocks and water crossings just as good, if not better than our '15 Jeep JKU.
My '19 Ranger has it. There is a button to turn it off but you have to press it each time you start the vehicle. Other work-arounds is they make a dummy plug for one of the 12v....with something plugged in it will disable auto start/stop. Worse can you can just ForScan the computer and remove it...
