Tire Pressure Menu

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!"

To each their own. I find this very useful when camping with my RTT (Roof Top Tent). It helps me either park in more leveled space, or know which wheels I need to drive up on boards or blocks (or rocks or tree branches if I forget the leveling blocks!)

I have a 2019 SuperCab Lariat. I almost went with the XLT just because of the instrument cluster on the Lariat was such a disappointment. Did the people who designed this ever drive the truck? I am constantly changing screens to see what I want to know, like the temperature, RPM & distance to empty. No indication of what gear you are in when in sport mode unless you are manually locked in one. (The gear "tape" display on the right disappears when you go into sport mode) And no oil pressure and voltage/charge status gauge? And since I tow half the time, transmission temperature would have been nice. This all could have fit on the left side if they'd been smarter with the screen real estate. Meanwhile, the right side is largely wasted. The lane departure indication could have been over there.

This x1000000 The right side screen is completely useless, even if they had kept the same like categories they could have added so much more info to it. Why I couldn't have the full menu on both I will never know. I would love to have like the tach temp fuel screen on one and the fuel economy on the other for instance

...and that vertical tachometer on the right side of the left screen is practically unreadable.

A comment from someone with the XLT dash. Other than the fact I don't need it often, I do agree the tire pressure screen is in the wrong place in the menu. I think I have only looked at the inclinometer a handful of times, more from curiosity than any real reason.

I went with my XLT rather than Lariat for a couple reasons, the main one being the dash, also didn't want leather seats. Only issue I have is the lack of boost gauge and oil pressure. A transmission temp and voltage gauge would be nice too, as I tow a TT.

The biggest issue I have with any of the current digital dashes, and many of the aftermarket gauges. Is, they tend to read out in digits, that I have to see and read. For certain things I want to have dial type gauges, like boost, temps, pressures. That way I can quickly glance at them while driving and see where the needle is and know I'm in a normal range. I don't have to take the time to read a number and think is that OK.

Exactly. I don't want to take my eyes off the road as long as it takes to read a bunch of numbers and process what they mean, especially while towing. Well-designed gauges are quick to interpret.

I didn't even think my Ranger had a TMPS display for the first month or so that I owned it, I even remember having a conversation with a friend where I was lamenting the lack of one. I only figured out that it DID exist when I saw it in somebody's youtube video and then went digging through the menus until I found it.
