Was looking through the hints and tricks thread when I came across an image posted by BoozeDaily showing the current speed limit for a particular road:



Is the speed limit indicator only available when viewing the navigation tab? What options/packages need to be on the truck in order to get it?

I've had this feature on my current car and thought I'd be losing it switching to the F150. There is still a little time to change my order to make sure I'm getting this feature.... hence the new thread and all the questions.

 

That screen only populates when you have a route plugged into the nav. When there's no route you get a compass.

 

on a side note a modern garmin GPS will show posted road speeds anytime you have the map displayed. I originally bought it to use as my boost/rpm/throttle position gauge, ETC but I also found the speed limit thing handy when I'm in areas I do not know well so its multi purpose tool now

 

You will need MFT navigation and a Lariat or above for the 8" productivity screen like seen in the photo. The speed limit indicator is also shown on the map as well.

 

Wifes new Rouge shows the speed limit all the time, and you can set an audible warning for limit over. It also cost $20K less, go figure.

 

While driving mine home from the dealer yesterday I heard an alert telling "over speed limit" it only said it once but I still found it annoying. Only did it on the highway not the backroads.

 

Thanks! Sounds like I don't need to change a thing on the order.

Would be incredible if the speed limit showed without having a route entered in the nav. My current car uses the lasers from the adaptive cruise control and it is a nice feature up here in Vermont. Speed limits are all over the place and it is really easy to miss those 10 MPH changes.

Admittedly my wants are a little more due to living in odd part of the country and doing a lot of rural driving. Guess my answer is to use the nav more.

 

Can anyone explain this?

 

I just checked my truck to confirm, but the speed limit does show on the navigation screen without having a route entered. On the productivity screen when there isn't a route entered, the only thing that shows is a compass.

 

I have't seen that alert. How are you liking your truck?
