Default 2008 Gas light?

Bought a 2008 XLT with 4.6L about three months ago. Have only gotten it down to maybe 1/8 tank, does this truck have some sort of gas light that comes on? If so, how many gallons should be left when it comes on?

Thanks!

At around 50 miles till E, all you get is a check fuel level warning.

Mine stops running with about 0 miles left.

Low fuel lights are about as unnecessary as TPMS and oil change reminders, IMO.

I fill my truck up when it gets to 1/4 tank. I don’t know why any one would need to risk it and run that low.
