I don't have that screen, but if I scroll down to "Truck Apps", I get a diagram of the drive system. Since I have not really engaged 4 wd yet, not sure what it looks like. It is supposed to show when it's in 4wd, tilt angle and bank angle in degrees and a lot more. Probably need to experiment a little with this screen. I think it is the screen shown in the manual but moved down to it's own line.

I also have the trip a/b and settings like door locks, lights staying on after shutting off etc.
Yeah, I use the Truck Apps screen all the time as that is my favorite but I do switch over to the Trip/Mileage screens when feeling I should be eco-friendly and watch my consumption...lol.

Neither my Platinum or FX4 have any additional Gauge screens, so now thinking those are blank if you have higher content (like Navigation) since that information is displayed elsewhere.

My 2013 was built 21 Dec and has the compass. Here is how I get therel

Using the left side of steering wheel, the swith with OK in the middle, push up on the top switch of the 4 directional switches.

On the instrument panel, in between the tach and speedometer, look for a verticle string of messages. If you go up using the switch, you should get to "gauges". Then using the left/right switches, toggle to the right, or left to see what gauges show. Works on my XLT.

I did that and I have only 2 screens that go with the gauge. The first is tranny temp, the second is blank.

I have a 2012 with navigation, and I don't see the compass on the 4.5 inch display. My buddy has it on his 2012 f-250 king ranch but no navigation. I tried looking in the manual. Nothing was listed besides calibration.
