In my nearly 19 years of driving I have never shut a vehicle with an automatic off while in gear.. until I bought this truck. I live 2 houses in off a main road and I back my vehicles in. On more than one occasion now I've had somebody come flying around the corner and as I go to quickly shift in R either the AC gets shut off or the volume to the stereo. I love the truck but damn is that a dumb design considering how many other knobs are in close proximity to the shift knob.
This, been driving for 20 years. I have never shut a vehicle off in park until this truck.
I used my column shifter to rest my hand, also, I could always tell what gear I was in without looking based on the feel when shifting.
My last complaint, I'm 6'3 and I have to bend forward to reach the knob, not a huge deal but if there was ever an emergency or a reason to throw the truck in par, reverse, or drive, it would take an extra second, not counting the time it would take for me to ensure I was in the right gear.
Had this truck for 14 months, still don't like it
