Steering wheel swap from Focus ST

[pantera155]

After owning the BS for two hours, I replaced the steering wheel with a better one. I really don't like the feel of the steering wheel that came with my BS.

The factory plastic steering wheel is an embarrassment as well sticky in the summer and frigid in the winter. I didn't have my BB a week b4 I purchased a leather one from LKQ. Best under $100 mod I did. In hindsight, I was unaware the control pods would swap over to the ST (or RS) wheels. I for sure would have purchased one of those instead!

I would like it if the red stitching matched an interior red stitching. I'd get that red stitching to black which isn't hard to do.

Lol did you just have a spare?

I completely agree. The feel to the touch is terrible. That's why we exchanged it.

Great idea! Changing the thread to black would look fantastic!

I don't have any! But you can search on eBay.

Another reason I’m glad I decided to go all out. The Badlands has a leather-wrapped wheel already. And it’s heated, which is of questionable value here in the Phoenix valley.

I don't think it's actually leather, as the window sticker just describes it as "premium wrapped," but I have appreciated the heating the last couple of days.

We just bought a nice leather steering wheel cover, done. It has a red stripe at the top center & red stitching to match the exterior color.

Which version has a plastic steering wheel? All of them here have eco-leather.

I know our Big Bend has it & IIRC the base model does also.

My 2025 BB does not have a plastic steering wheel. It's the eco-wrapped version.
