Hints, Tips and Tricks
I have a 2020 regular cab with column shift. The 2018 that I traded displayed the gears and what gear it was in. On the 2020 that I bought I have to press the + button on the gearshifter and it duspalys what gear it in 1/10 2/10 3/10 etc. u might try this on your to see if that works for you also.. Worth a try
A neat feature I discovered and don't remember reading it, on a 2016 Lariat with Navigation -when the low fuel indicator comes on, the remaining fuel indicator and pump symbol change from blue to orange but the cool feature is the Nav screen is instantly populated with gas stations. As you continue driving, the stations behind you fade awhile while new stations continue to appear.

I'd like a little light indicator for when the tailgate is open. This weekend I was parked outside and we had freezing rain. I tried to open the tailgate but it was frozen to the tonneau. Last night I parked in the garage which is heated and this morning while driving I was hearing some odd noise and I suspected the tailgate dropped. With the regular mirrors you dont see the tailgate. Sure enough, it had dropped.

With a 36 gallon tank, I don't plan to allow it to get low enough ever again to see that warning. But it is neat to have stumbled upon.
if the map isn't zoomed out far enough to see where the stations are located, you may not see them the instant the alert is on -but as you drive to where stations are located they should be populating.

Not sure that is any different than a non powered gate situation but with the electric release it would be nice.
I can also unlock gate from the touch pad on the driver door. If the truck is angled down, the gate will not lower. If one were to be interrupted after unlocking gate while parked on an angle, it's possible to forget to latch it.
In one direction from my house the nearest gas station would be about 64 miles. The NAV would never show any gas stations because there aren't any.
Plus in the winter time, who wants to be out in the blowing snow in the minus digits for what might feel like 1 hr to filling up. LOL
It's a local chain - get $0.08 off per gallon for using their credit card.
