The new dash is hideous..I cant see why anyone would want that over the
badass retro stuff we have in the 15-17s .

Less is more !
I wouldn't say it is hideous, but I much prefer retro gauges.

I would love that cluster. I love how the f150s cluster looks.

There are already cars for show and test drive at dealerships. It wouldn't be uncommon for a dealership or official of some kind to give information like this, if they were privvied of it.
Where ?


I would think there wouldn't be. They still gotta sell the 17's right ?

I agree. I like some of the other stuff but not the dash

I keep seeing "cost is too much", but no logical estimate to price. So for comparison how much does the F150 cluster cost?

I remember you could swap the 11-14 GT Base to a Premium gauge cluster.

That went from no screen/track apps to a screen, and it was all plug and play (and programming changes). If that's possible, there's a good chance this will be too. Most likely it just reads the sensors similar to OBDII and displays the info. Since most parts are carryover in the 18, the connectors and whatnot for the cluster probably are too.

If so, I'll probably pay whatever it costs because having drove cars with an all-screen cluster, it's really nice and I fell in love with the idea.

I will say it won't cost too much since whether it is an optional or standard equipment on the 2018 Mustang, it's an equipment of a regular mustang. which means the price of the parts is relatively reasonable, compared to those SVT parts.
I'll keep looking for information about the probability of this swap.
