I put a Safe T Plus on my E350 24.1 Vegas. There is improvement but by no means huge.
It centers nicely but a semi passing me requires about 30 degrees of initial steering wheel movement toward the semi.(consider the steering wheel a 360 degree azimuth) Then about 15 degrees of crab toward as it’s passing, about 30 degrees of opposite deflection once it clears, and then 15 degrees back to recenter the wheel.
It varies a bit with the speed of the truck passing me but even with the Safe T Plus a gust could push me into the rumble strips if I’m not paying attention.
For the price of the thing it provides far less lateral help than I’d hoped or expected.
