I'm sure there are physics involved here that my peanut brain can't compute lol but I feel like as an example:
Truck on level ground.
Lift one side of truck with forklift.
At some point, the truck will tip over.
Does gage indicate that point somehow? 😆

Let's say the tipping point of the truck is X degrees angle
X degrees angle equates to Y degrees grade.. etc.

I'm sure you now what I'm sayin 😬

It would be awesome to have a gage that would indicate angles of potential traction loss & roll eh?
Maybe in my next life I'll have a rock rig and the aptitude to design a programmable roll gage or something 🤣

Tipping point depends upon many variables: does it have cargo/gear loaded high up the normal center of gravity, such as on top of a rack or shell; is the vehicle suspension modified, e.g. lifted? None of this has been calculated by the Ford engineers in designing the simple pitch and roll angle sensors, which would require many more advanced sensors to measure center of gravity of the vehicle at any given moment, load, and suspension geometry.

This is my humble, but reasoned opinion, sprinkled with experience working with the electronics and schematics of the 12th Gen 'fifty
