If you like to throw money away by all means have at it. I'm a cheap Polack and will pocket the extra $96. 00. ?
It's not like it's an eye sore where everyone will see it, it'splugged into the back side of the console. If the light bothers anyone just black it out with spray paint.
I understand the value of it. I’m about convenience and functionality. Chances are I will see how it performs before I do anything about it.

This has been beat to death on the Ranger forum too. Some love it and some (like myself) hate it. I guess if you drive a lot of city miles it will save you money over time. I don't put on enough miles to worry about saving a couple dollars a year (at most) and yes I'm
I probably will get rid of it because of premature starter and battery wear from the multiple starts. We will see.

The nightlight...brilliant idea.
Why does everyone hate it so much?
Or is it more of... this is the way cars have always worked, sooo. ?
Or I'm too 'old school' (or insert 'cool') to help climate change?

Crap rolls downhill. Govt forces ICE vehicle manufacturers to meet certain fuel efficiency requirements. This is but one way they accomplish what is forced on them. You can thank the gubmint.

It creates a draw on power. Setting the AC on max cold or the heat on max hot does the same. Pretty much anything that adds a power draw will accomplish what you desire...or turn it off, each time you start your truck.
I am not familiar with Ford's start/stop system--is a secondary battery used to operate start/stop or the primary battery alone? Jeep used two different systems, the ESS (engine start/stop) which has a small motorcycle size battery located beneath the standard battery and this small battery runs the start/stop function. This small battery has had many problems of failure and draining the main battery & stranding Jeep owners; the other system is called eTorque which has no small secondary battery but a belt driven generator which replaces the normal alternator and also has a liquid cooled 48 volt battery pack with its own protective steel plate located underneath the vehicle near the rear axle on the Wrangler; the generator charges the battery pack which operates the start/stop; this 48 volt battery pack on eTorque equipped Ram trucks is located inside the cab behind the rear seat back. No way would I want that battery pack that has to be liquid cooled to keep from catching fire inside the cab with me, but the Ram can still be equipped with the normal V8 Hemi engine with no start/stop of any kind and one regular battery.

This will be my first mod within days of delivery. It's the stupidest most annoying thing any manufacture can do and were actually paying for this feature.

Do any other models have the 190mm Axle or is it standard except for Squatch and Non Squatch Badlands?
