I've skimmed through this thread and others, but I cannot seem to get a straight answer if anyone attempted or tried it.

Edit: after going back a ways, I see that someone else brought this up, and it is likely not possible due to the raptor being based on the 15-17. If anyone is willing or able, I would be willing to pay someone to swap ACC w/Stop&Go into my truck. LKA as well if that is an option.
Having done this on my '19 XLT 302a, given the equipment you have, and more importantly do NOT have, it would be very cost and labor prohibitive to do the conversion.

Add all those components for bone-stock adaptive cruise control? Why? Unless I'm misunderstanding "non-stop&go acc."
All you need is the radar module, harness, updated cruise control switch on the steering wheel! You don't need the IPMA camera (or new windshield) for NON-stop&go ACC.

EDIT: My comment was made before the OP edited his post about adding stop&go and LKA. I would suggest looking into Comma AI, probably less expensive and practically Tesla-grade performance without FSD... Adding OpenPilot gives you the navigation and FSD, I think.

His post is for a 2018 F-150, not Raptor. So the only option is stop and go ACC.

Agree with others, this is a lot of work on a XLT trim, although it has been done before.
With prices on 2018's coming down, it may be easier to go the route of finding a higher trim used truck than doing the work. Especially since OP is asking for someone to do the install for them.

Sorry about that, I thought I edited it when I was still the last post in the thread. Comma.AI is only for trucks 2021+, so that is out of the question. I was originally referring to the 2018 Raptor style that cut off at 12mph, but was the only one in 2018 to do so. I'm sorry for the confusion.

I'm not scared of it, as my truck needs a windshield (few substantial chips), so I was considering having the new one installed. I have Forscan and can do a lot of install stuff myself, and I only mentioned having someone else do it if anyone was willing/able to do so.

As a minimum you would need to replace windshield, add the IPMA camera, install radar module behind bumper (not possible due to design of Raptor bumper?), and then add all the wiring necessary.
Understood. I wasn't sure how much of the wiring for that system was actually in my truck, and if I had to run another harness up top, but there wasn't too much hacking into my current wiring, I'm open to it. I've already got the 8" IPC installed.

It has been a thought. Had my eye on a lariat with the 3.0 powerstroke, or 21+ powerboost. But I drive 40-50k a year, so my next truck will have adaptive cruise for sure. I didn't know what I was missing out on until I drove my Fiancee's Rav4 with it, and it is awesome.

Overall it seems like some people start to add this to 2018s, then drop off the face of the earth. There was a guy who was adding LKA and whatnot to his 2018 that came with no IPMA, but he disappeared after about 10 posts saying he had it working. This thread has been super informative, but I wish there was a way to summarize the install for an 18 XLT because 225 pages and 2250 posts is time consuming

Ok, this is the generic thread so perhaps you can try the 2018 dedicated thread.
If you already have the 8" cluster and need a new windshield you are almost halfway there...

I posted a very detailed writeup for my 2018. You'll just need a few steps added for the missing wiring?

Took me some time to find it, but here are videos of a 2015 F-150 running Comma AI and OpenPilot with Active Park Assist (APA).

Looking to add ACC to my 15 XLT 302A. Is there a consensus on whether or not the truck has the power and CAN bus lines up to the front bumper harness connector? I already have the 8" IPC so I should be good on that front. Are the $200 CCM's on eBay any good?

Does anyone have the harness number for a 19 XLT 301A 3.5l?
