Paddle Shifters

So I realized shortly after taking delivery that Ford omitted paddle shifters on all but the ST and Timberline trims. (yet another reason I should have just bought an ST rather than trying turn a Platinum into an ST :cry:).

2 questions:
1. Can @ZFGracing still properly tune a Platinum without the manual shift points which others are being asked for?
2. Are there any Ford mechanics who can point me in the right direction to see if I can add paddle shifters and what specifically that would entail? I've tried searching online and talking to my local Ford dealership and can't seem to make any headway.

This may be a long shot but there was a guy that was doing this for F150s. I haven't got a clue if he's done anything with the Exploder. Everything I've read said that his work was impeccable and his wiring harnesses were truly top-notch. You of course still had to come up with the hardware.

Thank you! I'll check into that.

I’ve known Lawrence for quite some time. I had one of his first Raptor wheel harnesses for the F150’s in mine. His work is impeccable…but him finding time to look into a new platform may be impossible.
