2021 Adaptive Steering

https://fordauthority.com/2020/11/20...eering-system/

I ordered this option for my SD, but wasn't this available on the previous model years? Or is this a new / different system?

It started in 2017. Maybe it’s a “New & Improved” design that they are advertising to grab the attention of potential buyers?

I don’t see anything on any actual Ford site noting any sort of difference to the adaptive steering, other than the fact that it is now tied in with the trailer backup assist.

To me it just looks like www.fordauthority.com is just a worthless site regurgitating random articles and information and has no actual original content.

Yeah that site also says it is also getting the trailer backup assist in 2021 but that feature was already on the 2020 models

That site is not much of a Ford authority.

Do you have to get the back up assist to get the adaptive steering?

When I ordered my 2020 they were separate so you could add one but not the other if you wanted
