I know this has been said but the instrument cluster is horrendous

Raptor cluster should fit, we just waiting for them to become available! This is all the regular broncos need! Somebody will get it working! Hopefully it plug and play with some basic forscan programming! #dreams

Curious to find out how many who are fine with the gauge cluster drive an automatic or don't tow. I'd guess it's a big percentage.

The normal one is fine, it is beyond old and boring however. I will be surprised if the Raptor one is a drop in replacement. Just like at the 8 and 12 inch screens.

After driving mine some more, the main thing I would change is making the analog gauge on the left the tach instead of speedo. Also, let me use something other than crappy Apple Maps for turn by turn in the dash (totally a software thing). It's still mostly fine for my needs though.

I did a cluster swap in my XLT F150, which wasn't all that hard once I found someone selling reprogrammed units. Don't know if it would be that easy here. Also not sure I'd want to go with the Raptor cluster... But never say never!

It's terrible but the real problem is that stupid analog speedo. If you're gonna have analog ANYTHING it should be a tach. Otherwise go full digital.

Analog speedos in modern cars at stupid and useless.
It's only pretending to be analog, and contrary to a couple people earlier I think it looks awful too. The needle is so fat you can't really tell what it's pointing at. Complete waste of space.

If they can update it to drop the digital speedo, I'll be good. Though a dial tach would be preferred as well.
Hopefully somebody will swap a Bronco Raptor instrument panel to prove the concept 🙏
This been done yet?! Bueller...Bueller...Anyone?

To be fair there hasn’t been a good dashboard since 1966 in American cars at least.

I can't say I am a fan. It's fine. I would have been happier with an analog gauge cluster really.

Ooo, yeah! An analog tach would have been cooler and more functional with a manual.

Domestic automakers are still struggling with the cluster. They finally started to figure out analog clusters, then the screens became a thing and sent them back to square 1. Porsche friggin' nailed how to integrate screens with analog gauges, but then they made it worse in the latest models (2018 top, 2022 bottom).

I prefer analog gauges with a digital screen in between, but would be okay with digital gauges within binnacles. I really think the flat all digital panels are lazy and boring design.

Nice! Yeah, I have a 12" screen for other stuff. A nice gauge cluster like this is my preference.
