I can't be the first to think of this!
With the popularity of these trucks and all the repop/aftermarket items being made why hasn't anyone made a 15" steering wheel that looks like the OEM 17" wheel?
Seems to me they would FLY off the shelves... On a side note I guess I better eat more salads. MOD

Exactly, I'm going to convert to a rabbit so I can go from a full size spare to a space saver! lol

They are being made for other years, probably just a matter of time

Re: I can't be the first to think of this!
It''s been thought about by plenty. A company that does undersized wheels is probably thinking about it. It's a good idea to eat more salad even if you aren't overweight. It's a good idea to try to lose excess weight, even if they made smaller steering wheels

Re: I can't be the first to think of this!
Just a question why would you want to replace that glorious big steering wheel with a smaller one ? Looks ? Turn ratio ? ... Not hating by any means just a curious monkey

Re: I can't be the first to think of this!
You aren't the "first" to think of it... I thought of it, too. Which is why it's such a great idea, of course.
