Default Drive Control / Selectable Steering

On page 247 of my owners manual it talks about Drive Control / Selective Steering. (see below) Does anyone have this option on their truck? Wish I did. Maybe it's something that can be enabled with FORScan?

--------(copy/paste)----------

DRIVE CONTROL (If Equipped) Selectable Steering

To change the steering feel, toggle the switch on the instrument panel. The first press illuminates the selected mode, subsequent presses will change the selected mode.

Modes:
• Normal - Default factory setting.
• Sport - Slightly higher effort required for steering with more road force felt through the steering wheel.
• Comfort - Slightly less effort required for steering with less road force felt through the steering wheel.

After selecting the desired setting, you may feel a soft feedback bump in the steering wheel when the changeover occurs.

Note: If your vehicle is equipped with the selectable drive modes feature, the steering feel will change when you select a new drive mode. You can override this automatic selection by pressing the steering button or switch.

I sure wish my truck had this switch.. I have noticed in Forscan that mine is set to normal but haven't found a way to change it to comfort.. One of the few complaints I have is how tiring my truck is to steer at highway speeds.

Is this a 2017 thing? Page 247 of my 2015 manual is about load carrying. A search for this in the manual does not find anything.

I believe the Raptor comes with the same manual and then a supplement manual.

Must be. It was in my 2017 manual. Crossing my fingers they can figure out how to enable it in FORScan.
