Nothing that I have seen while researching this mod suggests that you will need a new clockspring, but that is to say that most of this resurch has been done on f-150's. The interior is pretty much the same now, so I'm thinking this should work just fine.

I've got skin in the game now also. My raptor wheel is on the way, and I also just sent payment for the harness from 16boostedgreygoose over on the f150 forums. Even if some of the pin locations are different I'm pretty confident BGG can help me figure it out. I can't hardly wait! I Don't even have the damn truck yet LOL! Truck is/was due in 25th-31st so it could be tomorrow or the next day who knows. I actually ate lunch across the street from the dealer secretly hoping the tractor trailer would pull up front with my truck lol!

Sweet, I just pay paled BGG money this evening for the harness. My wheel should be here on wendsday. Hopefully the truck is here also! Lol! I think my wife would kill me if she found out how much this steering wheel costs.

Wheel came in today. Still waiting on the damn truck Lol! This steering wheel feels awesome! I'm not a fan of the hard foam rubber wheels at all. It seams like once you break the "skin'' of that smooth outer layer of the wheel, they go downhill fast. I'm dying waiting for this truck to come in. It should be in any day now. The harness for the paddles is due in tomarrow.

Fallowing. Although I think I'm out due to the fact I have adaptive steering and I don't believe that's offered on a raptor/150. It would be cool to have but I love my adaptive steering to much. I go from my truck to my wife's 17 150 and I'm like holy crap this wheel just spins and spins and spins.

I'm not sure what adaptive steering would have to do with changing your steering wheel? 🤔 You do know that most people change all the buttons and trim ring over to the raptor wheel right?

I'm still sitting here with my steering wheel and no damn truck �� Lol ��. Truck still not in yet , and I'm going stir crazy �� can't wait to get my new whip. Now I'm looking into katskinz leather to tie in the little red stripe! This steering wheel is going to turn into one expensive snowballing mod!

although adaptive steering is helpful. It’s actually only a 180* difference
