Been there 3 times with the motorhome, while towing. That's when you use both feet on the brake pedal and lift your butt off of the seat.
What would you get?

some good suggestions.
I like the oil temp idea. I also like an air pressure gauge, I don't have on board air but it would be nice to have, and I would love some air horns for these terrible, moronic California drivers.
rear diff temp is interesting, never thought of that before. I do tow, but nothing too outrageous. would a trans temp gauge be more helpful than a rear diff gauge, even though it is a manual?

If you keep it under 10k lbs trailer weight, I wouldn’t worry too much about trans or diff temps. With a manual transmission, diff would likely be the better one to have. But so long as you have proper fill level and clean fluid, probably nothin to worry about. You can always keep a laser temp gun with you, and run hard, then pull over and check hub, diff, and trans temps with that. You can also check trailer hub temps. So as long as you change diff and trans fluid when you’re supposed to, and check those temps occasionally, it shouldn’t be a big deal.
Oil temp would be of more interest to me, modern diesel trucks all have them, and manual transmission temps are usually nothing to worry about.

My first truck was a 1979 F150. Someone had installed an original Road Runner horn in it. The down side was that it wasn't in the best shape anymore. That was one, sick Road Runner with a VERY hoarse voice.

You must be registered for see images attach
As I see it with all the suggested guages..... maybe a couple extra. You are going to need a bigger dash. And maybe passenger seat delete
At this point maybe do some arduino madness?

I always marveled on how the Coyote managed to lift an anvil on so many of his traps....
Entertaining little show...
Didja ever try to find out if there really is an 'ACME' company that sells all sorts of 'stuff'..?

Vacuum and voltage. I also have boost, EGT and since mine has a C6, trans temp.
