mileage left guage

Anyone know if the miles remaining on current tank is availble on any current or Future F150's?

I have seen them on F250's, and the Expidition, but never a F150.

Thanks all,
David


PS I wasn't real sure which forum this message went best in.

Post Dont know if this will help you much....

....but you can hold down the trip odometer reset button and turn your key on. Hold the button until "test" (or something similar) shows on your odometer display. You can then scroll through some options by pressing and releasing the reset button. The options include, among alot of other things, a miles to empty guesstimate. If you do a search, you should be able to find a link to a list of the mnemonics and what they all mean. If I remember correctly, the list is on mustangworld.com.


Back to your original question; I think a trip computer of some sort is available on some of the higher-end(KR, Harley, Lariat) 150s.

And this is on all current model F150's? I have never heard of this.

I'll give it a try when I get off work. Thanks.

Yes.

Do a search for a post called Ford's hidden feature to test your gauges, or something like that. It was from about 2-3 months ago. There is a step-by of how to access and what you see. There's a Tach there too.

Any other site it could have been on?

I've tried just about every search possible from the information that you provided and I keep coming up empty.
