2022 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT – Steering – EPAS Power Rack-and-Pinion Steering in Naramata

The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT comes standard with a power rack-and-pinion steering system. This system provides a variable ratio that allows for more precise control at low speeds and greater stability at high speeds. The steering wheel also has an electronic park brake feature, which makes it easier to maneuver in tight spaces. The steering column can be adjusted up and down, back and forth, so drivers can find the perfect driving position. Drivers who have trouble reaching the pedals may find this feature especially useful.
The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT power rack-and-pinion steering system uses a hydraulic pump to move fluid through the rack and pinion. It consists of two major components: A rack that moves laterally and a pinion gear that turns vertically. As fluid moves through these components, they cause movement in the wheels, so they follow commands from the driver’s hands on the steering wheel.
The 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning XLT system works similarly to a manual steering system but with an electric motor controlling both sides at once instead of one side at a time, as with a manual system. The benefit of this type of steering system is that it requires less effort to turn the wheel than a manual system would require.
