I'm a long legged dude so i can usually hook my thumb or a another finger on the wheel while resting my hand on my leg. it definitely took me a bit to find all sorts of ways to keep input on it while feeling natural but not its just first nature to me.
Its quite literally using weight on the wheel to sense presence. People in the maverick forums were using 1lb lead weights and driving hands free. the "input" is sensing 1lb of force on the wheel, whether that's you hanging off the wheel, countering input against where its turning or whatever...
Its not input based or touch. Its weight sensing, so you can literally hold on with a single finger as long as that is giving about 1lb of weighted resistance. Once you get used to sort of jjust "hanging" on the wheel its mush less annoying and smoothing cruising.
maybe? but the reality is they will never produce raptors like they do normal trims. its how it goes for f150s and broncos as well. That and the fact that the RR is priced pretty close to a equally equipped Lariat just the same as a F150. Right now you don't have the option to hunt a deal at a...
The one thing ford has mastered is the setting up controls for the driver that makes sense. Always super intuitive and even more so for towing controls.
Personally i was in your boat with the Lariat or raptor but being real the Lariat with FX4 is gonna handle just about anything thrown at it...
Probably some production model reviews but there's most likely an embargo on those reviews where they are driving it. one day there's gonna be like 20 videos all over YouTube once the restriction is lifted.
The MT peaked my interest as well but for how much driving tech you lose taking a MT it feels like the discount is pretty lacking. It is competitively priced next to a ranger, maybe 1k more trim for trim with packages but for me i get Aplan so it takes the Toyota out of the picture.
If it has a red sticker Itll be exempt from any plan pricing. also dealers don't have to take plan pricing but its rare(outside of covid days)for that to happen. especially in a city close to a plant.
I wouldn't. Deposits make sense for something that's very niche and they may have a hard time moving, a RR is moving with little to zero effort and does not warrant a deposit.
Yea people get really butthurt about Ford but don't realize how much worse other OEMs are. This talk about Toyotas beating them to the punch is extremely blown out of proportion.
