Instrumentation panel in different trims

[Gordon Freeman]

May be I missed this but are there any photos of the instrumentation panel in low trims (Base, BB, BD)?
In Mustang, for example, lower trims have good old analogue gauges which I'm big fan of (I don't like these huge LCD screens where my speedometer should be).

So curious - do lower trims have analogue gauges?

For understanding, I prefer this:

No analog gauges at all on any trim as far as i know. I would prefer them as well, but they aren't offered.

no

Hasn’t every single shot of the dash so far shown an analog speedometer?

Every one I’ve seen.

It will have a analog speedo. I wish it was all digital and would change the entire layout as you change between the different modes like it does on GT and Mustang.

Great question, may have to wait for production interior pics for the final showing. That said, I was an Analog gauge fan, loved them in my trucks...but driving my wife's Escalade gave me appreciation for how cool digital dashes are. I'm happy the Bronco realizes it is 2020.

To me it just means more stuff that can go wrong. It's getting harder and harder to keep a car 10+ years due to all the digital displays, etc. In them that will just go out eventually and cost a bunch to replace.

I hope there is an "analog like" version of the tach that can be used.

I suspect in 15-20 years, there is going to a hilariously large incidence of older cars (that would be otherwise usable), being tossed due to non-working infotainment and dash modules, which are either 1) no longer supported by the manufacturer, 2) ludicrously expensive and not worth fixing in a $3-4,000 car.

I work in BMW parts and for as many cars that are out there with digital clusters, we dont really see issues all that often, but most are still fairly new.

I have ordered maybe 10-15 in the past 4 years under warranty.

IMO it’s a fail not having a fulltime tachometer on any manual vehicle. Not a dealbreaker but kind of a bad look. It’s also weird having half the instrument panel as an analog speedometer and the other half digital. It’s not an Audi, nobody asked for this stuff.

I’m sure Ford will offer the same digital tachometer in the info cluster that they do in the Ranger, but it seems laggy.

I’m curious what the difference is between the standard gauges and the “up-level instrument cluster” (or whatever they’re calling it) mentioned in the Outer Banks trims and up.

I would much prefer analog gauges with a small digital display in the middle for not so important stuff. Of course I'd much rather have 7" or so touch screen infotainment system that also allows all crucial functions with analog controls. The 8.4 screen on my Grand Cherokee has gone out twice now. With it I lost all climate controls as well as access to my heated seats and steering wheel and other functions as well.

Based on the hidden compare site... the lower trims have an LED dash and Obx up get the High Productivity screen.

Whatever the hell that means.
