I have time and temp on top rt corner of center display...it is a might small though! after 12 yrs in a chevy had both on mirror ..was nice... Did find a BOOST gauge! It was in tow mode i think? OR Sport? Showed oil psi....boost...trans temp all same place! NOT so good with owners manual in dash!! NOW at Ziebart i was told a led light bar pluged into trailer plug will mess with computer and trailer mode will show problems?? Any one else hear of this?

Mine is on there (Raptor) but I don't think I did anything to turn it on, maybe it's in settings? I wouldn't think that'd be an exclusive deal. I did have to turn on the navigation in the settings so it'd show my turn by turn on the dash form my carplay.

I haven’t seen a compass or boost gauge in my Lariat. Maybe I need to set it? Anyone got this?

My XLT has a boost gauge, you have to go to the tow or off-road screen in the center display.

My lariat shows a direction on the gauge cluster, i think it's near the bottom right.

My Lariat has both. Compass setting so it shows on the bottom under the gauges and I looked at the boost gauge but it takes away the other gauges that are useful, the boost gauge isn't really useful for me.

Actually, me either. It was very useful with my 930 Turbo but that was then and this is now ?

Found the compass today. It was always there but I never noticed it. Just gives you N, S, E,W. No SE, SW etc

Depending on the manufacturer of the Tailgate LED light bar will make the difference between and easy install, just plug in the 4 pin connector or, if a signal isolator needs to be installed.
