I can take a look this evening. I don't remember what the options were if it was a pre-populated drop down or if you can just fill in the blank.
FORScan on a Gen1

I understand why you'd want it off roading.
You could always disable the OEM setup with Forscan and run an aftermarket system. You'd need a place for the display to go, but otherwise that would accomplish what you want.
Possible with this to have speed displayed in the trans temp digital screen?
So, I thought I'd add this to the thread.
There is a change you can make with Forscan that will allow you to remove the Sony amp from the mix on trucks that have the Sony system.
After doing the Forscan adjustments and some minor wiring, you can have a nice clean signal from the head unit with all functions intact and no additional hardware needed. No Cleansweep, 3 sixty, or PAC adapter needed. Once you have the clean line out signals, you can then run your own amps and speakers as desired.
Because of the options now available in Forscan, things have changed a lot with what is possible to do with the Sony setup compared to a year ago. You really don't need any type of aftermarket processor or adapter anymore- although the PAC is a plug and play setup if for some reason you want to spend $200 extra and leave the Sony amp installed just to avoid the Forscan/wiring modification.
Edit:
Some links with details on the Forscan and wiring changes. The first link is to a Fusion forum, but it's pretty much all the same as an F150. Second link is to a 13-14 MFT Sony F150 upgrade thread. Third link has an oscilloscope analysis of the stock setup, the Forscan 'hack' setup, and the PAC adapter setup.

Can't wait to do something with mine now- it just can't deliver when the windows are down and you are rolling 40+ MPH.

I'm setting mine to 115psi, like to live life on the edge!

lol ... it is a rather unnecessary range. I'm pretty sure the psi just gets converted to hex in the BCM so I wonder if it could just be hard coded to something lower than 30 rather than being forced to pick from the menu.

Caught my interest when I saw the DSP module access. How does it sound with the signal cleaned up and I assume you have better speakers and a sub upgrade too? I assume you can access that on a 2011.
I bought an Arc Audio PS8 processor to put in later and a flat audio signal will help allot with the tuning. But even with that, it cant be understated just how much custom tuning and time alignment help with the overall soundstage of the system.
