Have a picture of your window sticker?

is your truck a 5.0? Do you see a supercharger under the hood?

Huh? You don't know whether you have a Whipple or not? Be pretty damn easy to know you have a Whipple, Paxton, Roush etc in a split second with a slight jab of the pedal lol

​​​​​Or just pop the hood

If you have a supercharger, and are asking when to use it, Then I wouldn't know what to say.

Default Clarification

Not sure honestly.. I didn't add one in but I got a 2020 Limited and there was an option for supercharger in the screen.. was wondering what using it will do.. gotta chrck the hood and clarify further.. maybe take a few snapshots and get back with it here.

The 2020 Limited didn't come with a super charger. It only had one engine option.
That was the High Output 3.5 V6 EcoBoost. It has twin turbos. No super charger.
The only thing that you would see would be the boost gauge for the turbos, and that changes based on engine load (and how hard you mash your foot down).
