Ford’s adaptive steering system is contained within the truck’s steering wheel. The system utilizes an electric motor, gear unit and a small computer. When the truck is moving at lower speeds, the system will increase the angle of the front wheels. This means that the driver will have to turn the wheel less to steer more. At higher speeds, the ratio is again adjusted, giving the truck more relaxed responsiveness. The steering system also offers a specific setting for towing and hauling.
