Can we get simple 1 line why you do not like it? I am confused because of how well the console and column cleans up without a shifter

I like it because it gives me a lot more console space for traveling, like the Cell phone holder and a spot from my quick access CCW while moving

i dont mind it much.. you get used to it quick.. thee dislike comes based on the fact that a shifter on the column makes it more grunt grunt manly.. feels more like a treck

It's a forum that I am a member of, we ask technical questions and curiosity questions. It is what makes this a great place for information. Maybe I like it and someone will have a side that I did not see and would be like "yeah, wow, I get that".

Because this thread serves no purpose whatsoever.

Yes it does...someone asked a question, and this thread will be one of many answers......

Just because YOU don't like the question, or think it is useless, doesn't mean the rest of the world agrees with you.

I don't hate it, but I definitely prefer a column shift

I like it, but I have found myself throwing it in reverse thinking it was in park and started to get out while the truck slowly rolls backwards...

From an outside opinion. I have a column shifter and love it but it does feel out of place in such a modern truck. Seems to basic

It works just fine, did take alittle bit to get used to.

I dont like where the up-down shift buttons are but not sure whete they would go without a shift lever. Try using these while turning..........

I like the look amd feel of the shifter in the console, BUT I dont have a console anyway so it dont really matter..lol


How dare you make a post asking for opinions....:)

I got a column...I like the old school feel...I know in the military and some auyomatic commercial trucks they have buttons for shifting...I'd prefer that before a dail.

Title says for those who DON"T like it.....

I don't care for it because it's new and different to me and it is easily confused with other dial controls if not looking carefully at them.

There have been a few times where I stopped turned off my radio and jumped out and the truck died out so obviously it was a problem since it's inception that has been corrected with some safety features to keep you from driving into your garage door.
