Gen2 features missing from the Gen3

I added My Modes to my 2021 but the button is on back order so it’s useless for now..

I have 2500 miles on my Gen3 35 and I love it, it's improved in almost every way from my 2019 Gen2. But not every way...there are a few things I miss!

1. Gear display. The Gen2 could show me which gear the truck was in at all times. The Gen3 does not.
2. Gear lockout. The Gen2 could lock out gears above a certain number. Great for twisty mountain roads where otherwise the transmission upshifts too much. The Gen3 doesn't allow this - it's full manual or full auto, no lockout. If you pull the paddle shifters in auto - yes, it will change gear - but then go right back to auto after a few seconds!
3. Oil temperature gauge in the Measurements page. Simply missing. Also Air/Fuel ratio and one or two other things.
4. Storage under the rear seat backrests. In my Gen3 the inverter is there. This sucks, I kept a lot of stuff there and it was super handy. The folding storage bin under the seats themselves is not a substitute, because it blocks the flat floor, which I also use all the time. Can't believe in an oversized Tonka truck like this they couldn't find somewhere else to put the inverter.
5. Steering mode memory. The Gen2 would remember my steering mode (Comfort) between restarts. The Gen3 resets to Normal each time.

It kind of sucks that 4/5 of these are software features that really don't cost any money on the production line. Not holding out hope that they will come in an update - but maybe I will get a surprise when they send out the update for BlueCruise.

I have a 2019, what storage area is under the rear seat back rest?

I was hoping you'd be able to do this. By button, do you mean steering wheel? I had assumed we'd need to replace the steering wheel but wasn't sure.

Did you enable through Forscan?

There was a cubby on the floor under the seat hinge. About 8” x 30”, maybe.

There is no temperature gauge for the oil now?

It should be able to add it in using ForScan, however the 21 7.3 lariat I had did not allow it for some reason so it may be this was on the F-150 now

I have Engine oil Temp. Unfortunalty need Forscan to enable it. Why it doesnt come enable is a mystery.

Honest answer for this is that too many people were taking their trucks in for service because it was skipping gears. The truck wasn't going through the gears 1-2-3-4-on to 10. They thought there was a problem with the transmission.
