I'll send you $100 via Venmo for a solution!

Good luck with your question...Surely that is going to be an even greater incentive than the Venmo offer

Well, I hope to be an RFR Addict soon. And I hope I can be helpful to fellow RFR Newbies with solutions. That's my experience in car collecting, racing, restoration, concours, rallies, you name it.

Save your money. It doesn’t change.

Meaning, for the 2024s, the option is not there to change it? I hope not. Surly a software update could fix it. One of the best factory performance vehicles Ford has ever made, started an entire genre, and diminished the value of one of the most important gauges in dash! Crazy.

Meaning you can’t change it. However there is a rpm gauge on the HUD and you can set a Shift light at a specific RPM. I find it to be a big step above the RPM we used to have.

I mean is this really a problem? You can't get a close enough estimate by looking at the gauge itself? I certainly don't agree this is a "diminished value" case by any stretch of the imagination. Sure it would be nice to be able to change that, but life will go on. Classic mountain out of a molehill.

Not sure if this helps but on my gen 1 if I touch the manual button it comes on even if I'm not manual shifting

@bossracer78 - have you tried FORScan v2.3.59 or later? A lot can be customized. I will have a look and get back to this forum.

@FiTex - No, I'm afraid I am not familiar with FORScan v2.3.59. Sounds like a software update or program? What is it?

DFS, not implying that the truck itself has experienced "diminished value," just that the tach itself is diminished. In all the YT videos, including 2023's, they all show a digital readout, just like all my previous F250's and my 2021 F150. Do you have a 2024 Shelter Green, like I do? Are you okay with the tach showing gear selection instead of RPM? Totaling perplexed as to why all of a sudden, no RPM readout. Makes no sense. Manual mode, paddle shifters, off road, eyes focused out front, needs a quick glance at actual RPM. Per performance standards of any high performance vehicle.

I do have a 2024 Shelter green actually. Yes I'm fine with gear selection being shown, it's a very very recent phenomenon to have a digital tach that can even tell you RPM. Use your HUD for RPM in baja mode then. Again, making a mountain out of mole hill. What are you actually learning by know RPM in a digital format rather than the tach reading? Nothing, your driving style isn't different, your shifting isn't different, it's just a big deal because it's different. Complain all you want, maybe Ford will change it if you scream loud enough, but I'm not bothered, and neither are most owners as far as I can tell.
