2017 epas?

[blake6551]

Anyone know if the 2017 will have EPAS? I have a '16 King Ranch Eco and the EPAS has a vibration/jiggle in the steering over broken pavement and its annoying as hell. Looking to order a new Raptor, but I'm hoping it's not going to have the same steering rack.

This problem has been around since 2011 on the regular F-150s and Ford still hasn't come up with a solution. Sloppy assembly and QA in the lower steering shaft.

Yes, it does.

Damn, well fingers crossed they beefed up the steering rack and QC...

FWIW, general overview of Ford's EPAS (can Google for more technical info if one desires):

When Mike Levine did the video overview walk around with the magazine, he did mentioned the redesigned and beefed up or something similar the steering rack. Pretty sure he was comparing the Gen 2 to the Gen 1 Raptor though, not the newer standard F150. It's somewhere on Facebook.
