Flat Bottom Steering Wheel

[Sticks]

There are many threads on here about the topic. You should swap your switches over to the new wheel.

Maverick, Escape, EU Fiesta and Kuga steering wheels are interchangeable.

Here's the USDM Escape ST steering wheel and part# I used back when I had a flat bottom.

Ford Kuga wheel does work. I have one installed. Once you’ve removed the original, you can gently pull up the entire plastic trim and swap them out. All the connectors work and were the same for me.

The reason they put them in Mustangs...If you buy a Mustang your penis will grow 2" & the flat bottom gives you the extra clearance

Totally ordering a Mustang

I'm not trying to be a critical, I'm genuinely curious. What would be the benefit of a flat bottom steering wheel?

Because it lets you drive with flat tires, of course!

More leg room for taller people,

I doubt it.

My 32 inseam is short for my 6'2" (it's more typical for 6'). But I'd guess that you'd need about another 6" until the wheel became as much of an issue as legroom.

I need a thigh support pillow for driving out of town. I have to either put my left foot on the wheel well (leaving my knee in the air and thigh unsupported) or point my toes to the right (leaving my whole left leg torqued).

Add length to my legs, and the foot position would remain the name, with my knee rising to accommodate.

So ye olde bubble-gut won't block the steering wheel.

That is a "fat man steering wheel"--they were hinged, generally on he column, in the teens and twenties. Here's a discussion (where I found the picture):

You prefer flat top?

Flat tops are awesome!

I'm going to class up MTC and my answer with another song and a little Opera*









*Opera originated in Italy in the late 1500s and is characterized by a dramatic text, or libretto, set to music. Often referred to as the "Queen of the Arts," opera blends orchestral music with human emotion, captivating audiences with tales of love, loss, and joy. It is a multi-dimensional art form that includes singing (usually in Italian) and orchestral music.

You're overthinking this. Just click your heels together three times and say, "There's no place like home."

Fast Mavericks doesn’t exist anymore but I made an install video on the Ford Fiesta steering wheel I installed that I bought from there. It is by far the best mod on my truck so far! Makes the XL feel like a Lariat when driving.
