If anyone is looking for an install video for the steering wheel I just posted one today on my youtube channel. Just like everyone says it is a very simple install. One tip would be to make sure you DO NOT move the clock spring as that can throw off your steering wheel alignment if you do not notice it. I will have an install video of the tailgate damper and 2wd valance later this week as well. Thanks for watching if you choose to.

Thank you sir! Did you use the new button cluster with the silver surround or swap to the black one? I want to eventually find a gray one to match my interior or paint the silver one to match.

To be honest, I had to drive a rental XLT and I liked the urethane wheel better than my Lariat Leather...
Anyone want to sell the XLT wheel with black button cluster?

I have mine sitting in a box. I can look into shipping if you are serious.

I'm actually with you on this. I bought a KR one on accident, returned it and never bought the Limited one because its too small and wimpy feeling. I didn't like that it didnt have the grip moulds on the wheel either. It just felt....girly for some reason.

If anyone ever figures out the Raptor wheel I'll be in for that. That sucker is thick and feels right.

On the XL or XLT I rented, the button bezel moulded to the wheel better. There was a smoother transition than there is between the leather and the bezel (trim).

Leather steering wheel

Do all the XLT trucks use the standard steering wheel. My interior code is 2S. Is that using the black steering wheel?

I just replaced my lariat steering wheel with a heated one. I have a non-heated leather wheel for sale in the classifieds if anyone here would like to do that upgrade

Just in case anyone is wondering. Yes you can get the paddle shifters to work on the raptor wheel. The Raptor wheel will not work if you have adaptive steering. The steering wheel is different if you have adaptive steering. Their is a bulge in the wheel and their is a small motor in there. If you want to get the paddles to work you need to contact boostedgreygoose on the f150 forums. He can sell you the harness to make the job easy. Here is my raptorwheel with my button cluster, and working paddle shifters on my 2018 f350 6.2 XLT premium
