did mavericks come with cruise controls from the factory?, was it a dealer option?, are they rare?, prices?,
No they did not (somebody correct me if I am wrong) but they are easy to install depending on the route you want to go. You can buy kits or you can scrounge up parts from other cars to convert into our cars.
One of my old a Mavericks had an add on cruise....like an old JC Whitney kit. I was amazed but it worked perfectly. I figured I'd be taking it off but left it on after I saw how good it worked.
