steering wheel jiggle
If I do a lane change without signaling, the steering wheel has slight vibration as I cross the painted stripes. This bugs the crap out of me I can't stand that. Is it possible to turn that off? I don't know what is causing that but it only does it when I change lanes without signaling, so it is some kind of automated control. Does that have to be turned off with fordscan or can it be disabled otherwise? I don't know what it is called so kinda hard to look it up to try to turn it off.

Lane Departure Warning can be turned off with a button on the dash, above the radio. It has a two straight lights with a vehicle that looks like it's slightly over one of the lines. Sorry, that's the best description I can provide.

That option was one of the few that motivated me to special order my platinum. I didn’t want it for free and definitely didn’t want to pay the extra premium for it.

I ordered my Lariat and did not want this PITA but I think it was a part of the lariat Ultimate package. Darn sure did not order that on purpose. These packages suck in that they force a buyer to get stuff they don't want to get the few things they do want.
I wanted the factory LED headlights so had to order the truck the way it was. Every time that steering wheel vibrates I just get paranoid that death wobble is starting to happen. I know better, as I had 3 dodge trucks with DW so I guarantee
I do know true DW. But that vibration in the steering wheel still freaks me out. I hate it.

Not sure if this applies to Super Duties but our 2017 Edge Titanium has that option. In the setting you can change the level of vibration. Ours is set to the minimum, max shakes the heck out of the car.
Worth a look.

Or you could just use your turn signal. Might save you a ticket some day.
I know it's not an answer you were looking for, but somebody had to say it.

I keep the Lane keeping in the DW's Fusion turned off for the same reason, but it will also try and steer you back into the lane, I have had to fight the car at times if I decide I want to get off the freeway sooner than planned, it trys to keep me in the straight lane, instead of the off ramp lane.

It does tend to encourage actually using the blinkers a lot more since if using the blinker, it doesn't vibrate. Sort of the Pavlovian training the dog trick. So much nicer with it turned off though. Now my most awesome truck is even MORE awesome! Seriously, this truck is really enjoyable to drive as it is so smooth and refined. Whereas my old dodge was anything but. Really loved that Cummins with a dodge wrapped around it, but this Ford is on an entirely higher level.
