Bronco dash board instrumentation

It's weird to me that Ford made this giant really nice 12" touch screen for the center and then stuck Nintendo 64 graphics above the steering wheel.

got a point there. Secretly hoping they can update that over the air sometime

It’s a throwback to the original bronco dash and speedo. Notice no tach. And Speedo to the left of the column.

First picture ir 22 Maverick
Second picture is 21 Bronco Sport
Third picture is 21 Bronco
The Bronco's tachometer looks like a fuel gauge.
The other ones looks good and all the other Ford dashboards looks right but the Bronco just doesn't look right!

I prefer the 3rd picture

It is actually good that they put anything in the traditional location. Some new cars only have the center monitor. How would that be to get used to! I like the layout. I really don't care about the tac or the vertical meter. All I really need is speed and gas.

Personally I think they should have just put an analog tach where the current analog speedometer is. Digital is fine for a speedo, but that weird bar tach is dumb IMO. It's not enough to make me regret buying the vehicle, but it just doesn't make a lot of sense. If they wanted to go digital they could have at least used a sweeping bar tach similar to how a lot of motorcycles with TFT dashes do (my 2016 Multistrada 1200 S, for instance

(not my actual bike, lol)

I got used to the Bronco Dash pretty quick. What the pic doesn't show you is the info on the right side of the dash. You can customize what gauges show (like temps, boost, etc), see you drivetrain config, view your angles, etc.

Sure the Tach is a little odd, but the rest of it and the amount of live info you can see at one time is pretty nice.

I feel like the Bronco Dash could use improvements, or at least customize it to give a more "classic" look with gauges and none of this bar graph nonsense.
Why cant they make it like MyColor or the F150 digital dash?

The F150 looks great.

I'm waiting for the bronco I ordered.
I'm sure I will like it when I get it but I was shocked when I saw the dash in one of the mannequins and so wasn't the salesman at the dealership.
They told me that there must be a way to make it look normal. They just needed time to figure it out.
Guess they were wrong.

Never liked the instrument cluster in the bronco. Looks like an after thought or they just went ‘eh, good enough’.

I don't use the tach all the time but I do use it when I pull a trailer up a hill to keep it in the power range especially with a tiny 2.3 turbo.

while I think the dash is a bit odd/silly, I don't really care, but I also have to wonder, in all my decades of driving, I've not once looked at the RPMs on the tach, ever. No matter what car, I shifted by ear. Maybe I looked at it once when I tried to max out my parent's Benz on the Autobahn (just a bit over 200Km/h) a long time ago. Do many of you actually look at that during driving? Why?
Not trolling, serious question, I never felt I needed to know the RpM.

So you used the tachometer when you were working the Benz hard.
These 2.3's and 2.7's have taken the place of the V8.
They are working hard also.

I agree.

I don't think anyone is saying the current dash in unusable, I just think it's odd to have an analog speedometer and less than 2 inches from that have a giant speed readout and then next to that a weird fuel-gauge style tach.
