Raptor Steering Wheel Install

[TheDoug]

I installed the raptor steering wheel today and I have to say I love it. The perforated leather is nice. Even though I may not use the paddle shifters every day, I like them there instead of having to look down and find the plus or minus button.

Cool mod. Thanks to all for sharing.

Can somebody post a step by step install? I'm starting to get more interested

 

[TheDoug]

There are a couple videos out there on what to do. It's so easy.

I referenced this one for my install.

I like it a lot, I don't why some are so triggered and butthurt by it, lol.

I am also a big fan. Seriously considering it...just have to decide what to do about the red stripe.

I like this idea as well. Does the heated steering wheel still work?

Is it thicker than the platinum wheel? Not sure why people don’t like the red stripe. It came out of a performance truck. Real racing vehicles use it to make sure their tires are straight for a pit stop with tire change and to align the wheel when they take it off and put it back on. It’s not to add interior accents.

I’m liking this mod also. May keep my eye out for a Raptor wheel.

My friend at work drives a black Raptor and he said the red stripe was to quickly help get the front wheels straight while you’re airborne.

Oh I know what it’s for, but I drive a platinum with 22” rims, quilted leather doors, a sunroof the size of my kid’s bed, and massaging seats...I’m not going for an aggressive or racing look.

I personally do not like the red stripe either... I am looking at ways to remove it or recolor. So far the options are less than appealing.

The steering wheel is the same thickness as the platinum. Like I said in a previous post, the perforated leather edges and the paddle shifters are worth it to me.

And enjoy your race inspired steering wheel. [emoji6]

Not sure how the G2 is attached but if it’s like the First Gen then it looks simple enough.

Another option, they even offer color matching.

@rcompart or others, question for you. I asked this in another thread but my understanding is that this doesn't work if you have "adaptive steering". I have a platinum with lane keeping assist and adaptive cruise, does that inherently mean I have "adaptive steering" and just like the F150 with that feature, this swap won't work?

Thanks and nice write up.

i have my eye on a $1500 steering wheel...customer made only 1 other made

We do not have Adaptive Steering atleast the way Ford Defines it. Adaptive Steering, is variable ratio and done in the Steering wheel itself. A motor moves a gear to change how many turns is lock to lock. I had it in my 16 Edge. the 4th Gen Expedition does not have it.

Thank you Loki, appreciate the input, was concerned about this after reading a lot through the F150 forums.

Mine has been on my 2018 platinum for about a year with no issues
