I do believe that is something only the dealer can fix. Whether it be a new sensor, or some reprogramming.

Get on the highway and keep driving south until you reach a destination that matches the 76° displayed on your truck! Problem solved.

Yes, warranty. Unless you're looking at the HVAC temp display.

Curious if this is not the case. Outside temp is displayed on two locations (at least if you have the 6.5" IC) the IC and the infotainment.

The other day my dash and info screen were about 3o degrees apart. Fine after a restart. Computers never lie!!

When I started my Mav up yesterday the dash read 86°. Actual temp was 71°. Relieved after about one minute when it self corrected. ...

If the sun is hitting the temp sensor, it can read weird for a little while. If it stays crazy different after driving 10+min, maybe talk to dealership.

my first step with any display anomalies is a reset/reboot

I never take seriously automobile thermometers; they are about as accurate as the weatherman. I am reminded of a cartoon in a Playboy magazine way back in the mid-1950s. A haggard disc jockey is siting at the microphone with the clock on the wall showing 5 am, with a 5-oclock shadow, bloodshot eyes, 5 empty coffee cups, and an ashtray full of cigarette butts, is talking into the mic, and says, "You wanna know what the weather is? Stick your ass out the window." Good luck with your problem.

Far out
Maybe you should spray paint your dash since none of that information is useful!
