Ultra Gauge Review

Disclaimer: This post is NOT, repeat NOT sponsored by Ultra-Gauge or anyone else. What I say in this review is what I observe, and what I think about the Ultra-Gauge. Now on to the review and video. Enjoy

Don’t deny it. You love stats. I love stats. We all love stats! I especially love stats when it comes to knowing just about everything about my car (read: it’s a truck, but that does not sound as good in the sentence.) Most newer cars come with a display that can tell you some basic information about your vehicle. Some common ones are: run time, avg. miles per gallon, current digital speed, etc. However, there are still lots of vehicles, whether brand new or a few years old, that only show two things- Trip, and Odometer. Thus is the case with my 2005 F-150 XLT.

This is where the Ultra-Gauge comes in. The Ultra-Gauge plugs in to your vehicle’s OBDII port, which is the one that repair shops plug in to to test if everything is working when you take your car in for inspection.  The OBDII port receives information from many more sources than the stock screen may display.I mean really, someone find a stock HUD that shows the throttle position.  The Ultra Gauge allows you to set up three pages of scrolling gauges, each page with 6 gauges. The number of gauges depends on the year and type of your vehicle, but to get an estimate of which ones will be available, check out This Link My truck has 50 something gauges available for use. In the UK? No problem. Ultra Gauge has very recently released the “Ultra-Gauge EM” . It is able to use Metric and Standard units simultaneously.
There are other OBDII port scanners on the market, what is good about the UltraGauge?
1. Price. The UltraGauge Classic retails for around $60 after a rebate, and the new EM version is about $80 with rebate
2. Size and Style. The UltraGauge is small and fits nicely in most vehicles, as seen in my F150. The blue screen backlight gives it a modern look. The size is comparable to a smaller GPS Unit.
3. Improved Fuel Mileage. The ultraGauge does not physically alter engine porformance, but it does help you learn the best driving styles to improve mileage.
Well, that’s about it. I totally think the UltraGauge is a great gadget for those who like knowing about their car’s status. You can find out more about UltraGauge, as well as see what gauges are available for your vehicle at Ultra-Gauge.com
