I am finding that not all the 14.5-15.5 Steering wheel Covers wrap around and cover the actual Steering Wheel real well. A lot leave about50% exposed.

Can anyone recommend a good thick Steering wheel cover that wraps around the wheel more than 50% or so like 60-70%?

I’ve installed two of these on past vehicles (not on my new ranger though) and was impressed with the quality and how it felt when I was finished. Will take 30min to an hour to install though.

Very nice. I will check it out.
Back story. when I hired into Ford Truck, some of the Car management critized our Truck steering wheels as grabbing a "donkey dick". Our Truck response was to poopoo their "needle dick" steering wheels ! Car guys were not happy....oh well...

I've put those in a couple cars where the steering wheel material was disintegrating. Not sure what hand lotions my wife and daughters use but its murder on the steering wheels. The covers hold up well.
I am reading the reviews and it says the steering wheel cover has sticker on it saying the product contains lead. I am like how is that even possible?

If it's Made In China, it probably contains anti-freeze and rat poison too.

I got one of these it covers the whole wheel you could say and added some thickness to the wheel as well. Stitched on. You can choose different materials.

I really like that look. How long does it take to do all the stitching? I am not the best at fine needlework :oops:

It's from the covid-19 lab, had to switch to different manufacturing after that last investment
I don't worry about the California warning labels anymore, but a lead warning is something I haven't seen for a while.

Can you post a link to the site?

I like that this one looks like it is custom fit to the Ranger steering wheel.

A lot of them are generic and don't fit around the spokes properly.
