I think I might be the only one that prefers the original gauge cluster over the new all digital gauges. I do like the improvement to the rear ventilation though and hopefully can eventually retrofit the rear vents and plumbing to my ‘24. While the updates are a nice improvement I’m glad I took the $6500 in discounts for my ‘24 Badlands manual over what’s sure to be another substantial price increase for 2025.
When I went from a 2017 to 2018 mustang gt I was looking forward to the all digital instrument panel upgrade over the analogue gauges , after a couple days of ownership I rarely looked at it for the graphics etc , could care less about a fancy looking new cluster , I’ve grown to like what’s in the current bronco , definitely unique

I dig the wheels and wish they were beadlock capable.
The picture of the seats also shows the interior of the hardtop. Is that a body painted modular top? I'm not used to seeing white up there.

Willing to bet it’ll be pretty easy to swap over.
Arguably should be easier than the raptor cluster swap, and that’s been done.
your mouth to God’s ear! We shall see. I just don’t wanna be the guinea pig for the swap.

Yeah, that's what the "premium Shadow Black painted roof" looks like on the inside. Ford is no longer referring to it as a "Modular" hardtop, because they dropped the ability to remove the rear side glass starting in July 2024.

Even though I don’t look at the analog speedo, I like that it’s there in my ‘24. I don’t mind all digital gauges, but in my own opinion, the design of the ‘25 digital gauge layout just doesn’t seem to match the retro vibe of the “new” Bronco.

The current Bronco instrument panel makes me think of cars from the 80's that were trying to look "futuristic". Good riddance...

When I raced motorcycles, typically I just put masking tape over the instrument cluster with only the tach visible

Do the 2- and 4-door share the center console? I hope Ford is going to introduce the rear air vents for both models.

Not as bad, but the same with all the cars in the 90s that had that blah light medium metallic blue paint and the teal or whatever you want to call it (like that bikini color on current jeeps that I hate). Just do a google search for '90s teal car'. Make sure you have a sick bucket handy.

My used 1990 Escort was dated by this greenish color, which was popular at the time. That's why I couldn't go green on the Bronco, even though Ford chose a nice shade.

If the goal was to make it look even more like the Flex with the horizontal lines : Mission Accomplished!

Yes they do share the same center console. At least the main big part.

The back of it does have a different part number

My take. It looks cool. But not for me. I’m not even sold on the Heritage with the black plastic flares and bumpers. It’s marketing. Sprinkle some glitter on it and keeps Ford in the media.

I’ll be more than happy to do that. I can’t stand the 21-24 cluster.
The current cluster is so bad it makes you wonder if the person(s) responsible for it even knows how to drive a car. It is definitely an atrocious design.
