Default Power Distribution Screen

So on the new truck, I have this handy dandy power distribution screen in the display. 2016 4wd F-150 XLT Sport FX4


I can see a possible use for it if the vehicle had AWD or 4WD Auto, just to see what power is being applied to what tires, but with the 4WD High and 4WD Low, it just seems like it's going to tell me what tire is spinning, if I'm stuck.


Just curious what is a situation that I might find a use for this?

Probably serves no more function than the compass, how many times do you look to see which direction you are heading. More of a "That's a neat function" thing.

If your truck has 4A it will let you know if just the rears are getting power or if all 4 are. If you don't have 4A, well it'll let you know if you are in 2wd or 4wd....lol

It also highlights electronic locking rear differential status.

Does it? I've never noticed any difference between the sides in the display. Just front to back.
