Wondering if anyone else has this pet peeve?

[1Roger]

It's bugged me with every vehicle I've owned, and I was hoping Ford would have solved it, but nope. When driving and trying to look at the speedometer the curve of the steering wheel is exactly in line with the curve of the numbers on the speedometer blocking the view. I was hoping we could get heads up display but not on the 2023, it sucks having to move your head around to view your speed when a cop is behind you. Here's what I see when looking at the speedometer. I know the steering wheel moves, but this is what's comfortable when driving.

So you have a platinum.
You have a tilt/telescopic steering wheel
Why not just do the sensible thing and adjust the steering wheel?

I wish this was a perfect world,,,,too!

This is a "nothing burger" peeve. Why not adjust your steering wheel, seat & pedal(s) position?

Just curious....

I just lifted steering wheel a bit. No problems

This is the sort of question that occurs when AI buys its first F150!

There is nothing wrong with the steering wheel alignment when you are sitting in the seat normally instead of leaning on the console off center.

It feels goofy tilted up, I like it low. I just think it would be logical to put it in the middle I don't need to see the RPMs make that smaller.

I spent many years driving Ford vehicles of all types for work. Never any issues with fixed steering wheel blocking numbers. Only ones that were problematic had a adjustable wheel someone set weird and a small tweak fixed it.

I suggest sitting on a pillow to see over wheel. ?

Some of the things that people complain about out of a truck amaze me.

I have the 8" and it's in the bottom of it. The 12" setup just doesn't make sense to me overall.
At the same time I'm sitting in the driver's seat and not on the center console.

Just cut the top center of the steering wheel off with an angle grinder and make it into a yoke. Problem solved.
