    I have this on the new truck coming in a few days. Has anyone used it and if so what are you thoughts on it. Looks like it will be a neat little add on especially on windy days.

    Other than not changing the steering ratio, it's like Fords adaptive steering.

    I have that on my Bronco Sport and it seems to work ok. On Volvo website it looks like it works better than fords.

    It was on my last ones. What you really notice is that it doesn't take a lot of effort to hold the wheel in any position. It will take a few miles to get used to it.

    At least you'll be used to it before winter. Hard to "feel" the road. LOL

    Will love it in the wind I am guessing. That is the real reason I wanted it.

    Yep I should have plenty of time to get used to it this summer. Gonna try and run hard for a few months to get caught up for all the time I have been off the last 1.5 years.

    Tell us about your new truck, or have you in another thread?

    Is that like an electronic assist?
