I am not an off-road guy, but I drove a stick and towed heavy stuff forever. You don't need the tach if you have experience or ears. If you can't drive manual without a tach, you're a shit driver frankly.

The only reason I've ever used a tach is for break-in on a vehicle or for hypermiling.

Edit: before I went electric in 2017 and haven't looked back :)

I use it because on my bike I need to set the correct minimum RPM after cleaning my carbs. Also sometimes I want to go faster than I should in 6th, a quick glance at the tach tells me how much headroom before redline I've got.

I've dailyed six manual cars and two of them didn't have a tach (both Fords?), and one of those was too old to even have a shift light. Honestly, even when I was new I barely looked at the tach when I had one anyway, and I didn't really start to look at until I learned how to really get good at rev-matching for heal-toe and dropping gears. I just shift by ear and ass like 90% of the time.
