This was a very simple and straightforward install and I’m 90-95% satisfied with the results. It was essentially plug and play as all the wiring was present and all I had to do was move the trim and switches from the original to the Raptor wheel. I’m really not a fan of the red stripe so I’m still deciding if I’m going to modify the original wheel to fit the Raptor shift paddles, have the Raptor wheel reupholstered with the tops and bottoms from the original wheel or leave the red stripe and add touches of red to the interior so it has something to tie in with the rest of the interior.

Yes, the shift paddles work the same as the -/+ buttons under the shift dial. Unlike the F150 guys, the necessary wiring is already present which made the installation very simple.

So you spend $70k plus and you’ve already changed the steering wheel for no legitimate reason? Why didn’t you just buy a Platinum f150 and put a cap on it

Am I missing something? It looks the exact same as the OEM steering wheel.

The Raptor steering wheel has shift paddles and also deeper thumb pocket contours and perforated leather on the sides. The steering wheel heater is also noticeable warmer.

No reason for the attack- its a very common modification on the f-150 side and its nice to know its even more plug and play on the Expy side.

Your comments are uncalled for and racist
