Default power steering question

I know this may be a dumb question, but is it possible to adjust the power steering? My 2015 Lariat seems to steer too easy. Might sound silly, but I would prefer it a little stiffer. I don't want to disable it completely though.

Not sure why you're laughing, a large amount of cars have selectable steer tunes (sport mode...). Not a huge demand for this in the truck world, yet.


I'd agree with the OP, the new F150 (and new Silverado) have too much boost. It leads to an artificial steer feel.

This is my #1 gripe about my new truck. I am still trying to learn how to drive it without being to jerky cause the wheel is too light. There is zero feedback from the truck.

There is a tsb on the steering. I don't have it handy where I am currently but I had it completed to my ride and it has helped the issue of over correction at highway speeds. Does handle like a different truck now.

Looks like the tsb will fix loose steering issues but I am curious to know what vehicles have the option to adjust the steering?
