Tire Pressure Menu

[FX4rd]

Long time lurker, recent member, first post.
Absolutely love the truck, this isn't a complaint but rather a curiosity, and I'd like to know if this is unique to the XLT or FX4 packages.

Why is the gauge cluster tire pressure menu under Driver Assist instead of Truck Info? On that matter it's even near the bottom of Driver Assist options.

Truck Info would make much more sense in my opinion and it feels like an afterthought, especially since Truck Info only has the inclinometer and power delivery screens and Driver Assist is comparatively cluttered.

A simple software update would take care of it. Seems odd...

Anyways, love the forum and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

i've been confused by that as well. I keep looking for it in truck info before remembering it's not there...

I very rarely use the info about tire pressure gauge cluster as it is faster for me to use the Ford Pass app.

Completely agree! 100% should be "truck info."

Hmm, I am confused here:

My Lariat Screen - I just tap down (button) one click and I see the Tire Pressure Screen
If I have the (Digital MPH) in view

Wait, that's a thing?
I've had my screen on the 4-way split info thing for so long I forget there's even other options.

if someone were to come up to me on the street and ask me that, I'd comment something along the lines of "Don't know why, I don't remember being invited to the meeting where they laid that out", but yeah, I also agree with you. It must be another one of Ford's better ideas.
That being said, for the first month or so, I think I left my dash on the inclinometer screen because it was new to me, and once the novelty wore off, I changed back to the "MPH" display, and if I want to look at the tire pressures, I'll pull it up on my FordPass app as well

This is me too. My left screen default is current speed & distance to empty, one screen down is PSI. I really like having it readily available for easy check.s

In my 2wd, the truck info screen is completely useless. Tire Pressure would give it a sense of worth.

Is there anything more useless than an inclinometer? What are you supposed to be alerted to? "Oh look, 46 degrees, I must be tipping over! Good thing I saw that on my dashboard!"

My 2019 Lariat has it in cluster, left side. I have it on Tach/fuel/coolant temp. 2 clicks down is tire pressure. I don't really want to use center screen while driving. This way its a quick glance...

the inclinometer screen because it was new to me

Gee thanks. I keep forgetting about that. So now here I sit trying to come up with a reason to go somewhere ASAP just so I can pull that screen up on my truck. Got myself a new toy....

"Sir mind telling me why you drove into that tree? Well officer I was checking out the inclinomter on the dash of my truck."

Bragging rights?

The OP has an XLT model and others here have mentioned their Lariat displays. I had a 2019 Lariat with the “cyclops” speedometer in the center with two 4.2 productivity screens L/R of center. TPMS is on the left screen as mentioned.

I recently purchased a 2023 XLT FX4 and the instrument cluster is predominantly analog with a tachometer on the left & temp gauge and on the right your speedometer with fuel gauge. In the center is your productivity screen and as mentioned TPMS is found in driver assist. Other than the APP I don’t see it anywhere else.
