Default Steering wheel

I purchased a nissan titan pro4x truck last week and this is it's steering wheel...in a 1/2 ton truck.

Why can't ford come out with something that isn't the size of a hula hoop, airbag compatible and affordable?? The titan's wheel makes my 07' mustang's look like something out of a 47' ford. And we're stuck with it due to airbag regulations...

Hate to say it, but that steering wheel looks hideous in my opinion. Heck I kinda like the newer Honda steering wheels, but that Nissan one just looks like such a huge step back in what the standards of today are. The steering wheel in my dad's '12 F150 is fantastic.

That being said, I enjoy the Mustang steering wheel. The reason it looks like it's out of a "'47" is because it's supposed to be retro...the whole car is. I'm sure there's some aftermarket out there that would fit that you might like.

Have you considered the newer Mustang's steering wheel? Or even an 08 Bullitt or GT500 wheel? Or is it the size that bothers you most?

I hear ya. The retro theme makes a lot of sense. It's bothered me from day one. The amount of tilt and wheel size really bothers me. It's petty, I know...but I would enjoy the car so much more with either a smaller wheel or more tilt adjustment. Maybe a little telescope for good measure on a sports car .

I test drove probably 15 different trucks before settling on the nissan pro4x. Granted the mileage sucks but with the $8k rebates (picked a $42k stickered truck for $34k), respectable power (only the ecoboost, largest hemi and 6.2's best it) interior roominess, seat comfort and adjustability of driving position were the main deciding factors. Maybe I'm just a whiner but I like my driving position and comfort.
