12 Inch Screen Brightness?

Is there an operator adjustment on the twelve inch screen in the new F series? Or will I be faced with bright and brighter.? My Lariat is being built this week according to Ford.

Congrats on getting your Lariat built -- I hope you are driving it soon!

You can adjust the brighness of the 12 inch SYNC 4 LCD panel, but the manual is no help because it doesn't mention this. It's the same control as for the "Instrument Cluster" (speedometer etc.) and the ambient lighting -- the busy-looking +/- buttons just to the right of the headlamp control dial, which itself is to the left of the steering wheel. (Manual page 158: "ADJUSTING THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING BRIGHTNESS"; which again, does not mention the 12 inch panel specifically.)

Once you know this, the icon on the buttons make "perfect" sense: tiny speedometer w/tinier lightbulb and +/- symbols.

I find the huge screen too bright even on low. I leave it on night mode all the time. Except when it randomly resets itself....
