I know this is petty but...

Can the "Press OK for km/h" be made to go away? I don't mind it at startup, but for some reason that message kind of bothers me. Again, I know it's petty, but if I could make that go away it wouldn't hurt my feelings.

Despite being an enormous improvement over my 2011, Ford still can't design UIs in my opinion. I'm also bugged by "My View" and the fact that it's called "Digital Speedometer". How about we ditch the Windows-95-style "My" terminology and also just label it "Speedometer"? I'm picking nits for sure here though.

It's also annoying that there is no ability to pause the Trip1/2 with the OK button is lame (2011 could do it).

The analog speedometer obscures the LCD panel. Wouldn't it be awesome if the speed was ALWAYS shown digitally in the lower left corner of the speedometer, in the exact same way the gear indicator is shown in the tach? Would have been trivial to do this during design phase and would not have cost anything.

Why is it possible to show/hide the gear indicator? Confuses the heck out of people when it disappears and they can't figure out how to get it back. If you *really* think it's important to be able to hide the gear indicator, put an option in settings.

Why is the fuel economy history data so colossally bad? They actually made it less useful than on the 2011, which is truly an amazing feat. They could do one simple screen that shows recent history, last-minute history and instant fuel economy quite cleanly. I'm gonna have to sell this POS and get a Prius.

Don't get me wrong... overall I like the 802A display and am seriously insanely happy overall with my truck. But as someone who writes UI crap for a living, it just seems like Ford's implementation is still really weak here.

While my 2020 is a significantly nicer vehicle in almost every respect compared to my 2014 Silverado 1500. I will say I much preferred the detail of the "driving analytics/mpg/trip etc" given to you at the dash. I think a lot of it has to do with branding and staying "on trend". There is probably a tremendous amount time and money invested into the overall coding platform.

So what you’re saying is no?

LOL- I crack myself up!

You wouldn't believe the volume of customer complaints and warranty cost caused by that one feature. It was always "customer states trip meter inoperative with 2 lines in front of the numbers". Dealers were replacing Instrument Panel Clusters because the stupid trip meter was paused. Consumer acceptance and response is a huge factor in which features get added and removed throughout model years.

Give me imperial units damnit. If I wanted metric numbers, I’d go to Europe.

As well it should. One day you’re complaining about the press ok for km/h and the next thing you know metric speed signs are going up around you. I’ll be the dash console is programed to subliminally flash “think metric” at us every 3-5 seconds just to get us on board.
