HUD “Tow Mode”

I recently came across this on FB. I’m well aware of the HUD modes. I keep mine set to Auto, so the HUD displays the tow mode display when I put the truck in tow mode. Well anyway, this user had the trailer gain displayed in tow mode on the HUD. Mine doesn’t show that. Shows the rpm and stuff, but not the gain. There is no setting to display the gain either. Who else has the gain displayed? Mine is a 24 with an early build date of 12/1/23.

I think mine shows it but only when I actually hit the plus/minus.

I don’t think it stays up permanently as there’s really no reason for it to?

This is quite possible. I'll have to check mine this evening. I've never noticed it before, but then again, I usually set it and forget it for a particular trailer.

The "Output" is the brake controller gain... Number on the right is the max setting.

It only shows this when you adjust it; pops up for a few seconds to show the change. It'd get pretty old if it was up there all the time bouncing around
