I hate the plastic steering wheel

[MavDaddy24]

But is it a "slip on", or do you have to lace it up

Slip on. Easy

My XLT came with the pleather one.
I guess that was part of the LUX pkg?

I covered my pleather lariat wheel with a $7 target cover. feels good and is easily washable if need be.

I always put this on any ford i might buy. One to preserve the wheel and two, i prefer a thicker steering wheel to hold on to.

Remember in the 70's those huge but thin steering wheels?

I'm surprised that nobody posted this yet, but here is a fine video guide on how to swap your Maverick steering wheel:



Its really not that difficult. No special tools or FORScan programming is required.

I'm don't think there is a complete list of compatible wheels, but if you search ebay for Bronco Sport, Escape, or Focus wheels, you should be able to find something that works. Keep in mind that you'll be swapping the buttons over, so don't worry if those match on the donor wheel or not. However, If you have a heated wheel on Maverick, you will want to make sure the donor wheel is heated.

Yes I do! With a 4 speed manual transmission

That is a nice wheel! Although I'm trying not to get too carried away with my Maverick other than fairly inexpensive little doo-dads. I've got a project car that requires my hard earned money already my daily can't take over not to mention I have no issues with my wheel. Just my nickels worth but definitely a nice option

I certainly would not go with the ST wheel myself, but if you have a plastic wheel and wanted to upgrade to leather, it is an easy upgrade. Not very expensive either. For example I just found this Bronco Sport leather heated wheel for $161.

And if someone does want the ST wheel, those apparently work just fine.

Needed the extra leverage before power steering became widespread. Especially at low speeds….

People have been doing this around here for at least 3.5 years...

But yes, it's a worthy mod. I plan on doing this for both the real leather and the shift paddles (which will require Forscan programming...)

Understandable. I researched these for 3 years before I found my way into one. I didn't know what I wanted after reading all the available options lol but like you I found mine on the lot. Was the color I knew I wanted and a few weeks after finding it I wrecked my Elantra. Courtesy of a bad driver pulling out in front of me. Needless to say a month after my wreck I found myself getting it. So options were picked for me, including the cap. I have to say no regrets at all. Yes heated wheel and seats wouldn't be bad but I had no complaints last winter. I myself am glad it doesn't have all the assisted driver features. My girlfriend's Escape has all that and it drives me bonkers with the vibrating wheel and whatnot lol but to each their own. That's why they make the different options available

Would’ve loved to get heated seats for my lower back in mine. Slipped two disc while working, but after all’s said and done I don’t think I would’ve changed anything. Love my truck and I would be hard pressed to change anything about it.

I used to wear driving gloves. They made the steering wheel feel so much better, especially in winter. It took my '70 Vette forever to warm up and the steering wheel was like using a chunk of ice.

Now I’ve got a heated steering wheel,
And heated seats.
I’m so spoiled.
