I wish there was a way to put a trip odometer on the right side of the center screen. Then I think it would have all the info I need.
BTW, I love this truck! First new vehicle I've ever bought and no regrets!

I don't know how y'all drive with the MPG info staring you in the face. I had it for about 2 weeks before I decided to take it off the main screen. It just gave me too much anxiety to see the numbers fall when I' accelerating. :oops:
I found myself looking at the instant MPG than the road. I was making myself sick worrying about every 10th of a mile.

Re: looking at mpg - I’ve only had this one since November and I’m checking how things change as spring moves in (less idle time). I fully understand the sentiment, though.

I will say that keeping the steering wheel how I do (very bottom) it’s always been hard to see speeds because it’s in the way. Simple solution would be to move it up but for me that’s super uncomfortable. I am grateful for that little spot on top where I can set the screen to speed, I can see it over my hand. I was beyond pleased to see that.
I really wish I had an option (Waze does this but small scale) to fill the screen (12”) with a speed display. I do crazy long drives many times per year and that would be perfect.

Sometime I feel like I'd rather know my MPG than not know. But realizing it's nothing to get hung up on, I could probably do without instant on display.

I'm usually on the MPG tab. On the highway it makes a difference between keep foot planted and go 70-80 mph and get 23 mpg or just give it enough by feel to maintain the same speed and get 30 mpg. Cruise control does not do better either.

I usually get a 750 mile range on a full tank, but it stays there give or take a couple until I've used up like 1/8th to 1/4 of a tank before it starts going down. Only once during a long highway trip have I seen the guessometer go over 800. Sometimes it'll jump to a way lower number like 660 when parked overnight and then keep going up all day too? I usually get about 840-860 miles before I refuel, and I usually fill up before 1/8th of as tank. Average fill is about 27-29 gallons. Also there's at least 4 gallons at low fuel/50 mile and 2 gallons left in the tank at 0 miles range. *for a ecodiesel with a 33 gallon tank. 3.92
