Paddle shift 2019 steering wheels

...Perusing this forum, it doesn’t seemed to be frequented by people who like to roll the dice on mods, or really do mods, and that’s ok, I’ll still do my own thing.

Couldn't agree with you more...not many folks here interested in testing the limits...one of the reasons I'm mostly on the SHO boards, those guys are deep into taking their platform (very similar to ours) to the edge...

And in reference to your comment about the amount of work you needed to do to get the '17 wheel to work on a '13 basically proves my point.
Even within the same model it required quite a bit of modification (yes, I'm very familiar with the Raptor steering wheel mod within the F150 community). I'm pointing out that it isn't as simple as just adding wires (as you already know), there is editing involved with modules, that may or may not allow you to do so (as you also already know). I'm simply saying, for the amount of work...to me, at least...the juice isn't worth the squeeze just to have paddle shifters whose behavior is, ultimately, limited to the capabilities of the TCM and the transmission itself.

Link to the SHO forums? I love to mod stuff, it could give me some useful ideas. Thanks
 






Found this with an Internet search; SHO Forum

Thanks, I just wanted to confirm which specific forum he was referring to, as there appears to be more than one.
You want to be looking mainly in the Gen 4 Sub-Forum. That's the ecoboost generation
