If the silver on the wheel is a bit much, the CF trim piece hides it well and recesses the buttons a hair to reduce unintentional presses. I put one over the shifter console area as well, keeps debris out of the cracks making cleaning simple.
Looking for days to find the P/N's - thank you for posting superfordman. I know it was a whileback, but I'm on the right track now. Doing the install on an XL, so heated not necessary. Just the paddles, heat would cost for the modules.
Still, $496.44 is quite the price for paddle shift convenience. Still trying to justify the price for something I may not use that often. Guess I'll start diving the Ford dealership dipsty dumpsters?
I find it completely reasonable. Plus the Raptor wheel is thicker and with more pronounced 10 and 2 grip positions. Here in Colorado anyway, downshifting and using engine braking is important when spending time in the mountains, and keeping both hands on the wheel and not having to futz around with the tiny + - buttons on the console shifter. I see people (mostly from out of state) riding their brakes all the way down long mountain passes all the time. The canyons are filled with the smell of overheated brakes.
Doesn’t tow/haul with 8,9,10 deselected manage the mountains pretty well up and down? Also, if you have the EV gauge selected you can ride the regen brake for a good bit before the binders grab eh?
i use the shifter button
It doesn't help when I'm towing and going down 6-8%+/- grades. I have to shut out gears down all the way down to 3rd.
Ooh. Down to 3rd means employing the awkward +/- buttons in real time and not the easy set and forget that I’ve done not towing. Copy that.
