Any XL/XLT (Non lux) owners able to find a leather cover for the steering wheel?

Hi!

My stock ordered XLT won't have the Luxury package so I am looking at getting a leather cover for the steering wheel. Any XL/XLT owners able to find one that works for them? I heard the steering wheel is the same as 2020 Ford Escape. Can that be confirmed?

There are plenty of aftermarket ones for 15 inch steering wheels at walmart/autozone/pep boys/etc?

If you are talking about a pre-measured custom kit that you sew on yourself, it's gonna be a while before that goes on the market.

2020-2022 escape wheel fits, just swap out the buttons and install yours. I bought a 2018 british spec leather wrapped focus RS MK4 wheel. This is different than the us spec 2018 wheel but fits 2020-2022 us spec escape and maverick.

It is never late to learn a new skill. My wife has a leather sewing machine https://www.craftyhangouts.com/best-sewing-machine-for-leather/ and sew staff for sale all the time. I also was looking for a leather cover for the steering wheel. But, she is too busy, I decided to learn how to sew on a sewing machine with her help of caouse.

So I am in the same boat, ordered an XLT non LUX. I was able to drive a Lariat LUX which had the upgraded steering wheel.....is the standard steering wheel bad or just preference??? Has anyone driven both that can attest to the standard wheel being "terrible".

The standard steering wheel is a rubberized plastic, its a bit firm but still better than my 2012
CRV. I tried the steering wheel cover that Rob Damon put on his Hybrid and I just could not get used it. For some reason it not fitting the steering wheel fully annoyed me.

Yeah I am just curious, I’m switching from a Honda Accord, regular steering wheel, to the Maverick for my commuter, I have never given thought to the steering wheel, just wondered why it was a thing for some, truly curious.
