2020 Explorer ST Steering Wheel installed

[2016BoostedGreyGoose]

Installed new 2020 Explorer ST steering wheel. Not bad and looks great...feels very similar to a Raptor wheel. Hefty compared to the stock Maverick steering wheel. I also bought an Explorer steering wheel from a Limited. See pic. The ST wheel has perforation on the sides and is flat along the bottom. I'm on the fence about "posing" the ST so I may take the ST trim off and install the trim from the Limited. Heated function, and all button functions were retained. Working on enabling the paddle shifters....its a much nicer upgrade than I anticipated.

** edit** Figured since I am starting to pose ( ) might as well change the splash screen on the center touch screen to match the new steering wheel.

ST = small truck right?

I'm on the fence. I wish I knew if Ford was going to offer an ST or not. If they didnt...I would totally creat blasphemy and turn this into as authentic of what I thought Ford would build ST... Including a Focus RS engine. But ya know.... blasphemy can backfire!

If you do get the paddles working that would be awesome. Then we just need that 2.3 and bronco diff and we are talking hot rod here!

OP do you have a part number? And is the airbag interchangeable?

I do not. I bought this off ebay. There is another steering wheel on ebay BUT its about double what I got mine for. Iirc its like $450+ . Unfortunately the airbags are NOT interchangeable. This required an airbag for a 2020 Explorer

And the explorer airbag plugs into the maverick without issue? No forescan stuff to make it work?
