A real boost gauge would be nice.
Sponsored
In a non-performance oriented vehicle the only real use for a boost gauge would be diagnostics (or aesthetics). Considering that they're deleting light bulbs and bed tie downs, it doesn't surprise me that they didn't include a boost gauge. The non-fleet Crown Vics didn't even come with a tach so at least we have that.A real boost gauge would be nice.
And most would not understand what it meant. ?because it's not really important information, and people have enough things to distract them already? ?‍
I do miss the boost gauge in my WRX, of course it was a little more relevant to me in that car vs the Ranger.Every boosted vehicle I have owned, came with a boost gauge, except the Ranger. Some weren't very accurate, and none included a vacuum reading. Both boost and vacuum can tell you a lot, if you know what to look for. That is why I added a boost gauge to my 2019 Ranger.
Interestingly enough, the original Mustang Eco-Boost didn't have one either, but my 1979 Turbo Mustang did. Go figure.
I've had four modern factory turbo vehicles. None of witch had a boost guage stock.Every boosted vehicle I have owned, came with a boost gauge, except the Ranger.
