Meh, every Manual transmission truck I have ever owned hasn't had a tach at all. You really dont need one unless you are trying to stretch evert rev out of it. You just listen to it.

Yeah, this. You can feel and hear when to shift. Oddly enough, my last manual was a YJ. ?

The race bike in my profile pic doesn't even have a tach... It's amazing how after you get a feel for driving stick, you just start to ignore the tach.... and then you don't even miss it.
I will say that in some cars, the tach can be a really great way to quickly check if it's still running... which isn't an issue with that motorcycle... not only do you know when it's running, so does everyone else within 100 feet.

Oh man that is beautiful1963 Honda CB77 Superhawk
That's old school. Ford introduced that in 2011 with Sync2 and MyFordTouch.In Ranger Lariat it gets their version of the info screens with LCD to the left and right of the analog speedo (in center), it's helpful that the split screens are controlled by steering wheel buttons on their respective side of the wheel.
That being said, the digital cluster in Bronco has been a selling point for me and looks great. While I do prefer an analog speedo (especially at low speeds such as offroading), I wish they would finally go back to the direct linkage of a transmission gear driven speed spring.
The joys of finding the right toothed speedo gear for your wheel and tire size was exhilarating!

Thanks! She's currently in pieces after the timing chain roller grenaded itself, cam shaft jumped 2 teeth, and I bent the waves.

If the lower level instrument panels on the Bronco are like the base Sport, I'd be happy. I just really want a tach since I am getting a manual. Although honestly I don't spend a lot of time looking at it, don't rely on it to know when to shift, I just like having it there. And I still prefer analog to digital.

I know this isn’t the instrument panel, but I didn’t want to start a new thread. Does anyone know what these buttons to the left of the headlight switch do? It looks like illustrations of the mirrors, but I’m not sure for what?

I think those are for the LED Approach Lamps included in the High Package. I noticed in the build and price if you select the Mid Package then those buttons don't show up in the interior image, however, those buttons show up if you bring up the image of the interior with the High Package included.I know this isn’t the instrument panel, but I didn’t want to start a new thread. Does anyone know what these buttons to the left of the headlight switch do? It looks like illustrations of the mirrors, but I’m not sure for what?
Is it just me or can anyone else not see the top, color, or b-pillar in this pic?Big Bend!

Correct. Those are the lamps located in the mirrors. I’m not sure if they will be able to stay on while moving because they don’t in the F-150, but they make decent work lights.
EDIT: I couldn’t remember exactly how those lights worked so I played with them in the parking lot at work this morning and they are EXTREMELY helpful for putting light out to the sides of the vehicle. I am not sure if it’s the speed that shuts the lights off or if there’s a timer after you put it in gear, but I have no street lamps in a large parking lot at work and these made it very easy to see the lines. I hope once you activate one of the GOAT modes you can drive with these on indefinitely. If not, I’m sure there is a setting you can change with an aftermarket programmer like how you can make it so fog lights can stay on with high beams on Jeeps.

I was guessing that the approach lamps were puddle lights as you come into the vehicle. If already inside, not sure you would need buttons, or separate ones for left and right side individually. I also noticed it’s only on high or lux. But can’t think of other lights related to the mirrors either...
