I wonder if it’s possible, and if so, what would need to be done to swap the 8” gauge cluster for the 12” all digital one.

I would wait until the aftermarket catches up. I'm not saying it isn't possible to do with factory parts, but its going to be involved and expensive... screen, harness, trim pieces, hardware, etc.

Then it would probably need a programming with Forscan of some sort.

It is possible. I have done it. Plus a few other things. Wireless charger. Console shifter, 12 inch Upgrade.
The cluster unfortunately requires the top dash o be replaced. Could be just the driver side IF there is a dash material that matches what you have in your truck. For an XL like mine I had to do the entire dash. The opening is smaller for the Digital cluster versus the 4" and 8" cluster.

I’m going to need some more info on the 8” to 12” gauge swap and the wireless charger add on. I wonder how hard it would be to add the sliding compartment cover like the lariat and up models have where the wireless charger is?

Out of curiosity, how did you program the odometer?
I'm having issues writing the correct values. The format seems to have changed since the previous generation.

Did you ever figure this out. I have an stx and am going from the 4" to 8" cluster. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I highly doubt this is reasonably possible.

Just... buy.... a.... Lariat...
Yeah, for all this effort and money, just have the factory build it for you with everything you want. Plus you get vented seats, and all the other goodies that come with a lariat.

Can you provide more info on the cluster swap and wireless charging add-on?

At a minimum id love to add wireless charging, but am curious to see the amount of work involved in upgrading the cluster on my STX.

Part numbers?

FYI for those interested. Reached out to Jesse @ Infotainment.com. They will be offering the cluster upgrade and wireless charging as products they plan to release in the near future (along with some other VERY cool upgrades) Very exciting!

Did the 12" swap today. I need to figure out what the GPS harness is, and do some programming on it.
