Heads up display?

Maybe I'm losing it but I thought I read or overheard someone saying the new super duty can come with heads up display? Is that right or am I losing it? Lol

It's not really a hud. It has red anti-collision leds that reflects on the windshield.

Happened to me last night in a shopping center. Someone was turning into a parking lot, out of the lane in front of me and I didn't need to slow down...they were leaving the roadway. The truck felt otherwise, all the alarms and lights going off, brakes charged message...DRAMA. LOL

Pretty awesome though.

I've never been impressed with a HUD. Seen it in some GM cars, typically low res / low quality.

I don't think there is anything to gain by projecting something a few inches higher on the windshield than what can be displayed on the instrument panel. What info do you seriously need every second that cannot be obtained by a glance down at the cluster?

HUD is awesome, especially in sports cars. The Mustang should have it at the least. GM's SUVs have it, not sure about their HD trucks.

Might be necessary for critical information in a fighter jet at high speed. A little gimmicky in an automobile on standard roads and interstates. In fact, it looks almost like a nuisance in the line of sight. But that is just me. I don't need a tach or speedometer to know my speed so looking down occasionally and checking all gauges is a good habit. But this is just me. Ask for it if you think it is necessary and they will eventually build it.

To be honest, I've had HUD for years on the Vette. Outside of track use, it isn't much of big deal, other than the "gee whiz" factor.

I was just making sure they didn't have it. I'm plan on getting a fully loaded king ranch f350 and I was going to be pissed if it had it. Unless there was a way to turn it off. Thanks for the good news.

Have a HUD on two of my cars. It is absolutely fantastic for giving you navigation details so you don't have to constantly look at the console screen while you're trying to figure out where you're going.

My wife's BMW has HUD and I actually kinda like it. I thought I saw an advertisement for the 2020 Ford Escape saying that it had a HUD?

Yes to HUD, modest traffic safety, Steering wheel mounted shift levers.
The F350 doesn’t have to drive itself like a Tesla but at these prices safety lane management should be standard on Lariat and above.
