2020 Productivity Screen

Can anyone confirm exactly what options need to be ordered to get the 8" Productivity Screen in the Instrument Panel (the one with the nice all digital gauges) on an XLT? I've found 3 that have it, but nothing in the build sheets, the dealer or Ford Chat seem to either know or care what I'm talking about.

First one is a gas truck SRW, second is a diesel DRW, so that's not it. The F450 Regular Cab XLT I drove Saturday also had it. All three have the Pro Trailer Camera Backup Assist and Nav. I read another post on here that the XLT's get the 8" IP if they get the Pro Trailer system, but can anyone confirm that? Do you have to order both Nav and the Pro Trailer to get the dash?

I searched but I think the answer might be lurking in the Order Thread's 600+ posts and search didn't sift it out too well.

Thank you for the response!

According to the order guide, the 8" productivity screen is standard on the Lariat and up. I don't see anything referencing it for the XLT. My guess is that the Tremor package adds it because of the additional driver modes (rock crawl and trail control)? Not sure about the pro trailer backup assist.

I know the order guide doesn't show it, which is why I posted those two links to trucks that are XLT's that clearly have it. Sorry, I don't want to come across snappy. I've listened to the dealer and Ford both say they don't know what I'm talking about when one has the damn thing sitting on their lot and Ford themselves can't seem to look passed their own documentation to see that they built trucks with it. "Oh no, that's the 4.2 screen according to my info." Look at the pictures, obviously it's not.

Anyway, believe I found an XLT with the Pro Trailer and without Nav which confirms, I think, what you guys are saying. Pro Trailer and Tremor are the only ways to get it on an XLT and it appears you do not need to order Nav.
