Im still pretty new to this truck. Im checking to see if I can display turbo boost with instrument display. From what I recall, I think there were 3 different digital instrument displays. Is this available on a XL. I know it is on higher trim levels.

On the steering wheel buttons select "Off-Road" from the main menu, then select the sub menu "Vehicle Gauges". You should get boost, oil pressure and transmission temperature.

All of this is described for all variations starting on page 114 of your pdf manual

I'm in a 25 RRaptor... Not sure if this answers your question, but on the four round gauges at the top of a "standard" display, two of those are configurable. I replaced one of the default guages to show the turbo boost/vacuum.

on the xl, you have to go into forscan if your is not a 4x4 and activate the screens, if i remember right. i think that is how i did mine. than you can see the boost gage.

I couldn't find it on my xl and I turned every gauge on that I could find in the settings. Maybe I just overlooked it? I'd like to have a boost gauge.

Ford is super shitty when it comes to rationing out gauge displays between the different trims. It’s literally a few lines of code and would cost Ford nothing to turn all the gauge options on for everyone. They want you to remember that you bought an XL.

I remembered XL when I wrote the check. I was looking at XLTs originally. But this truck meets my needs. Some things like the boist guage would be nice to see, but not necessary. I like the Lariat seats too, but lots of $ difference

For sure. I love my XL and don’t mind 90% of the things that are missing. But the limited gauges just feels mean on Ford’s part.

Agree. The turbo is what gives it is juice. Be nice to see what its doing when I do get on it or just normal driving.

I could never find the boost gauge when I first got the truck, but the other day I went flipping through some of the screens again and there was the off-road display with boost gauge. It's not the great since it doesn't give you a number value. You can just look at your instant mpg gauge and it's essentially the inverse of whatever the boost gauge is doing.

you want to get to the screen showing this so when you find the trans temp gage and oil pressure, you found the boost also. i know its a few clicks on the right hand steering wheel buttons. i really think you need forscan though to see them unless maybe they are also visible on the tow package trucks?

I made use of an old phone and forscan. You display almost any guage you want to keep an eye on! :thumbsup:
