I am driving an XLT FX4 high equipment with the tow package. Is it not possible to display which gear the truck is in? I feel like that is a basic feature for a truck with 10 gears.

On my Lariat 4X2 there is a button on the drivers side of the shift lever. If you push that button it displays all 10 transmission speeds with an indicator as to which gear is in use. Not sure if this is the same with an XLT 4X4. Hope this helps.

Ford did this on the Bronco as well. :headbang: If you're in D and want to see the gear you're in, you have to use the +/- button (as if you're in Manual mode), and a tiny number will appear - but only for a couple of seconds! Why they can't just leave it on there full time, I'll never know...

Press the + button on the shifter when you are in drive. You have to do it each time you start the truck.

Does it continue to show the entire time youre driving the truck? Or does it shut off after like 5 seconds?

It will show until you shut off the truck or hit the button again.
