I have been looking online for new Powerboost and I noticed the XLT appears to no longer have the full digital display. Is this true? The digital dash only seems to be on Lariat and up packages (which im not willing to pay) If this is the case im not happy. I HATE the XLT gauges and it would pretty much prevent me from buying a f150. There is just something unappealing about the two chrome circle gauges.

When did the XLT not have the chrome circle gauges? My MY22 XLT 302A High does not have full digital display. The MY21 didn't either.

To each their own, I prefer the “analog” gauges. Pretty sure you need to go Lariat for that.

In that case, I hope you are at least fond of the F150 tailgate. :cool:

My 21 XLT 302a PB did not have digital gauges very similar to the current 22 XLT 302a 2.7 Payload Package.

In all fairness, a huge portion of the XLT instrument cluster is digital.

In fact, it's pretty much the same instrument panel from the Gen13 Limited. :)

Except for some ridiculous reason, Ford nixed the ability to display digital temps on the same cluster that easily displayed such previously.

I'd love to sit down with the fool who made that decision. I'd ask him/her point blank why such a stupid decision was made.

I don't understand why it can't be added with software? (Ford doing so to respond to what must have been an oversight)
Or is the screen real estate not programmable like that?

I watch the digital gauges change scale and location on the full digital panel seemingly without limitations.
Turning on Navigation, for example.
Or Bluecruise engaging.
Or changing driving modes.

So why wouldn't that upper portion that appears to be 100% digital, programmable?
