I actually like it on my 19, with that said its not a must have feature. I dropped it from my current order so i could get scheduled. these trucks can pretty much get upgraded at any time after the fact. If i feel like i have to have it ill buy the steering wheel and do it later. now one thing to consider, look up adaptive steering failure super duty, when it fails the truck can still be driven but the wheel is turned 90 degrees.

Ive looked up all the wiring diagrams for it unfortunately the 17-21 steering wheel is different so youll have to get a 22 steering wheel later when they are available. the AS is built into the wheel, should be a pretty easy upgrade later. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadget Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 If you want your sterring to go through a cheap plastic control gear then go for it and get it. For me this is a quick, easy and hard NO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ORCM Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 I just deleted it off my order, hopefully that speeds it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aboyles2002 Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 been driving for years without it, figured this was something I could live without. and I don't really like the idea of the computer changing my steering input(however it works) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolinhar Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 Well I have it on my present truck and to be honest I have not really noticed any difference from what my previous truck steered like, maybe it's just me not paying enough attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlc2022 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I was a big fan on the test drive, but haven't owned a truck with it. Would be tempting if not causing a delay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question, why did you like it so much? admittedly I have never driven a vehicle with it so I don't know if I would like it or not.

My 2019 Lincoln Nautilus is equipped with adaptive steering and adaptive cruise control. In city driving it isn't much of a benefit. The true benefit is when you're out on the highway and especially on long trips. Adaptive steering and adaptive cruise control take a lot of the fatigue out of driving on long trips. It senses the curves in the highway and gently guides you in that direction. You can easily override the direction. I don't think I will ever own another vehicle without this feature.

I thought it just changed the input effort of the steering and adjusted the steering gear ratio based upon speed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont have a for certain answer on this but I can give you my timeline: 5/4 ordered truck with AS 6/29 COVP completed 7/13 dropped AS from my order 7/15 finally got scheduled without the AS In my eyes yes its slowing orders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ford truck guy Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) My salesman just called me to tell us that the Adaptive Steering option has now been discontinued, and no trucks will get scheduled with that option?

There's been no notice to Dealers, no change to the 2022 Super Duty Pickup Order Guide, no notice in the WBDO (Web Based Dealer Ordering) system and WBDO still allows the user to order the Adaptive Steering option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not new to SD, to cancel the feature outright, doesn't sound right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4x4ord Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 If it was a no charge option I'd probably take it but I wouldn't pay for it. My 2017 was supposed to have it and my '21 not .... I could hardly notice any difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LookingButLost Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 Interesting thing…I just ordered my truck yesterday (F350 King Ranch). When I went to the dealer I had my mind made up about not getting the adaptive steering but the sales person talked me in to it saying I may be able to get Blue Cruise later on if the truck was equipped with adaptive steering. Anyone know if there is any truth to that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
