Thank you.

 

Looking at the order guide I don't see Lane Keep Alert as standard until you get to King Ranch. It looks like it's part of the Co-Pilot 360 2.0 package (standard KR and up)

 

Oh no, that means it will also have the drift compensation. Be prepared for sudden jerks to the left. The system is awesome when it works, but when it glitches it can scare the schiznit out of you.

 

Good to hear it’s done I’ve had with and with out it’s a joke. Sort of like the supplemental heater that does nothing.

 

Well, I'll admit the supplemental heater is underwhelming. But the adaptive steering reduces the number of rotations of the steering wheel lock to lock by half in parking lots, and by one full revolution when making right turns. I've had both, and find the truck way nicer to drive with than without. Hope it will be reliable over the long haul.

 

that is NOT correct.
It is All in the steering wheel

 

I find the adaptive steering to be super sensitive at 50 plus mile an hour speeds. It's really easy to sneeze or reach for something in the cab and end up in the other lane. Although I can't compare this to a super duty without the option, I've had many f-150s and they weren't as sensitive at highway speeds as this truck is.

 

This is not normal behavior for adaptive steering. At increased speeds the steering ratio is decreased and would do the opposite of what you describe. You have something else going on with your truck.

 

It is interesting the different experiences owners with the Adaptive steering have described (in various threads), makes me wonder if Ford never perfected some kind of programing or if it's some unrelated issue that contributes to the experience that is blamed on Adaptive steering. I've read one guy claim it makes steering very difficult, others too light. I haven't experienced any of that in my 4 years of ownership. Your experience goes against how it's intended to work. The sensitivity, or ratio change is supposed to decrease at higher speeds, to the point of having little or no involvement in the steering ratio, the greatest ratio change being at slow speed. I haven't verified it myself, but when in tow haul mode I've heard the adaptive steering even further decreases sensitivity to increase stability at speed. Have you tried running 50+ with tow haul on?

Like you, I haven't compared back to back with and without AS in a Super Duty, I have driven a 2016 SD but payed no attention to how it steered. My 19 has never exhibited any strange steering behavior, nothing bothersome. I appreciate the effect it provides during slow speed maneuvers, other than that nothing to speak of. I am in and out of different vehicles daily, with my SD being the newest and nicest to drive.

 

The adaptive steering my 2022 Tremor is seamless and you wouldn't know the difference between it and standard super duty except for the fewer turns at low speeds It doesn't wander at high speeds at all.

 

My 2021 Platinum has adaptive steering. It is a stand alone option at $1,000.

 

Can someone tell me what this unit is between the firewall and the steering box ?

 

Switch to tow/haul mode and see if it goes away. If not, it isn't the adaptive steering but either your tires or alignment. You can also pull the fuse which will lock it into full mode.

 

Ran across this, just now. https://fordauthority.com/2022/10/20...eering-system/

 

Is there a bracket holding it that can be seen through the wheel well? If yes, then it is the electronic power steering assist. One purpose is for the pro trailer back up assist feature.
