Difference between 4.2” and 8” screens

Is there any difference in functionality between the 4.2” screen on the XLT and the 8” screen in the Lariat (talking specifically about the Productivity Screen above the steering wheel)? Or do they show the exact same info, just one is smaller? I like the Towing View on the 8” screen but I haven’t been able to verify the same info is present on the 4.2”

You do not have multiple trailer options and I do not think you can program Blis.

Thats what I have noticed for me. But my small screen is in an F150 so maybe the super duty has all that.

I just picked up a 2020 Super duty XLT that has the 4.2 inch screen. I can have multiple trailers and program Blis for towing a trailer. Must be different on the F150.

good to know, thanks. Can you program BLIS with a 5th wheel?

Technically yes, just have to tell it your trailer is conventional, if you put in GN/5thW it will automatically say you can't. Programmed all mine then found this out and had to redo them to include the length as if they were bumper pull. Works fairly well. My longest programmed trailer is 26' plus whatever to get it to the bumper, probably put in 30'.
