12" LCD Digital Instrument Cluster Standard?

Is the 12" LCD Digital Instrument Cluster standard on the Mach 1 regardless if you get the 'base' Mach 1 or Premium?

Yes

Unfortunately yes, I was really hoping the 600A would have analog gauges, maybe even with a classic font like the last Mach 1 did. Not a big fan of the digital cluster for a variety of reasons, primarily because it’s just more unnecessary tech IMO.

I agree with this 100%. I think it is just more things to go wrong with the car, especially if you want to keep it long-term.

Couldn't agree more.

The new digital cluster is gorgeous if you ask me, tremendous improvement More tech doesn't matter, new cars are riddled with tech everywhere. The possibilities of this digital cluster are impressive to say the least.

Partially disagree (and I have the digital cluster). It's one more costly thing that can break. If you compare it to Audi/VW etc. that can show the entire nav map, it is not that advanced. Don't get me wrong, I do like it. However, with these "retro" specialty edition Mustangs, I think Ford should give people the option to chose.

Ford needs to remember that last big "retro"

Ford is always somewhat lagging in this aspect, premium European cars are frontrunners for new tech, guess the high competition makes them strive for more harder. You have HUD and whatnot in premium cars, sure, but they're lot more costly too. Actually I think this digital cluster is retro enough for this kind of car. Design is great and function too. It's 2021 so things can't always linger in the past. Mustang caught up a lot to European cars in S550 with handling on the road and quality of interior and overall quality. I guess when they wanted to max it out and not give Mach 1 many options, they considered this a clear choice.

Compare that to Mach E and it makes me wanna puke. Especially the middle display, lol. If that's the future than I'm glad for 2021 S550 retro

Any stuff can brake on the car. I did two complete engine repairs in last 2 years on 9 and 10 year old cars so I know well. But sometimes it's just too cool not to have it despite the cost

Those who are planning on keeping their cars past the warranty period should consider the Ford ESP extended warranty. There's a lot more to go wrong than just the dash. And it will be covered just in case.

This.

The analog gauges aren't mechanical gauges like you'd put into an older car, they are just a stepper motor controlling a dial indicator that is all driven by a processor receiving commands over the CAN bus. Basically, behind the face the digital cluster and the analog cluster work the same way so there isn't actually more stuff to go wrong. If you want to go back to rudimentary simplicity you'll have to put that Coyote into a Factory Five roadster.

True, and fixed.

Food for thought for all the people who don’t like the digital gauges...

Both the digital and “analog” gauges are electronic gauges. However, on the “analog” gauges, there’s more pieces to fail, whereas the digital cluster just has 1 screen, not multiple pieces. So really, the digital cluster just means LESS electronic parts that can fail

Dang, just saw someone posted pretty much the same thing lol
