1967-73 Ford F-Series trucks are surely picking up steam, and we’re right alongside the trend with this bolt-in upgrade. Our package makes use of your stock plastic or metal gauge bezel, and includes sensors for oil pressure, coolant temp and speed. Should you find yourself with a Lightning or Coyote drivetrain, check out the BIM-01-2 OBD-II/CAN interface for simple connectivity. The LED bar graph tach positioned above the speedometer and twin TFT message centers keep the driver up to date in full color glory; thanks to the Bluetooth technology and our free mobile app, you can change the LED backlighting colors with your mood.
The RTX series is the latest from Dakota Digital, focused on retaining that stock look without sacrificing the late-model features you love. Every effort has been put forth to incorporate OEM design elements regarding the layout, face styling and indicators. A casual glance may dismiss these as original equipment, but once you hit the switch and the LED backlighting comes on in your favorite color scheme, all doubts will be removed.
Starting from scratch, CNC machined housings are filled with electronics designed and built in-house, helping Dakota Digital once again raise the bar for aftermarket instrumentation. The high-definition TFT message centers can be fully configured to display just about any piece of information needed. As you’ve come to expect from Dakota Digital, the RTX series utilizes a central control box to make installation and setup as easy as possible.
