The diesel trucks have a much more complex oil change reminder based upon how hard you drive your trucks, how hot they get, how many regens, etc, etc. There is no info except when the oil change soon / oil change required comes on, because the % could change based upon your driving habits.

The sole battery gauge would be the red battery dummy light that comes on when your battery is not being charged, along with a message on the screen.

The lack of an ammeter/voltmeter is a bit frustrating, but since nothing has an ammeter anymore and a voltmeter is trivial as hell to sort out it's not a big deal. The F-150 has a hall-effect sensor for an ammeter, but I didn't notice the same sensor on the F-250, not sure how it determines discharge rate. Would love to be able to read that data.
