Just looking to see if anyone has swapped an F150 steering wheel into the Ranger yet
I would like a larger wheel due the my T-Rex arms
I know the f-150 is just 1” larger in diameter but it’s how u use it that would make a little more comfortable reach for me without being pined to the dash

Interesting analogy, because T-rex actually have very tiny arms. :LOL:

Sounds like you need a "smaller" steering wheel? ?

If it's heated you should show us how it goes.

Yes the steering column is adjusted all the way out
I don’t want to move the seat up any further
5’-6” on a good day (most of them are far gone ) Just got blessed with a short wing span amongst other things lol
I was looking at a salvage f150 or eBay wheel
Just an inch might make me more satisfied
Never know until you know right

Hi Jason,

While a bigger wheel might fit...the important factor is if the air bag will fit....

Best,
Phil
