Default Transmission digital readout on the 15?

Hello, I have a new 2015 with the 3.5EB lariat.
I am trailering to Stergis from Boston with an enclosed trailer and two bikes.
I would like to see what temps I'm running in the transmission. Do we have the option of seeing the true temp in the digital gauges and not just use the analog needle gauge?

Page 109 of your manual... Always good to read it when buying any vehicle. Also explains Tow / Haul mode.

Also visit the Towing section of the forum to learn the limits you can tow. 500 pound tongue weight / 5,000 pound trailer weight max without weight distribution hitch, and PAYLOAD will be your overriding limitation.

Well please do enlighten me on how to change it from analog to digital. I looked on page 109 and it didn't tell me a thing.

Page 109 of my manual talks about setting up a trailer in the display. It says nothing about temp gauge.
Im thinking I got a boost gauge instead of true digital output gauge of degrees.

I believe that it is just a L to H guage no way to change it, I have read most of the manual, and don't see anything, maybe I'm missing something.

You can digitally display it on the productivity screen:

Gator, I believe what you are asking is "Can you get a digital tranny temp as in 212 degrees?" Sure you can change the display between the boost gauge and the tranny temp gauge, but you can't get a specific number that I'm aware of. Maybe Rick can shed some more light on the subject since most of us apparently aren't smart enough to read the manual when we purchase our trucks.

9'er what year is your truck? Your pic looks like the digital readout my 2013 had. On the 2015 I'm pretty sure you can not get that digital readout, only the gauge display up top or if boost is shown up top then you get the gauge display for tranny temp in the center screen.

That's what I'm seeing. No "212" type info anywhere I can find. I have read the manual and was asking in case I missed it.
I don't want to have to put on an aftermarket gauge to get this info.
It is a shame they left this out from previous years.
