Description
The Dakota Digital RTX-66F-BRO-X Instrument System delivers a factory look-alike gauge cluster designed to fit into the stock steel instrument bezel of 1966-77 Ford Bronco vehicles, and also fits 1961-66 Ford F100 pickups (except Custom Cab) using the stock bezel. This system retains a vintage appearance while adding a tachometer and a host of high-tech features not found in the original equipment.
Spun-aluminum accents on the instrument face and orange needles bring an authentic vintage look, while the large, full-color TFT message center can be fully customized to display the information you want. Every effort has been made to incorporate OEM design elements regarding layout, face styling, and indicators, so a casual glance may dismiss this system as original equipment—until the LED backlighting comes on in your chosen color scheme.
CNC machined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house by Dakota Digital. The RTX series utilizes a central control box to simplify installation and setup, and the high-definition TFT message center can be configured to display nearly any piece of information needed for your build.
