I really like that. choking a bit on the price tag. guess before I sell the truck I can always remove and resell here.
I sort of wish the knob did more, illuminated, etc

It is expensive, but considering it’s milled billet aluminum and a better quality part then the oem knob it doesn’t seems so expensive. I wonder how expensive the cheap plastic oem knob is. I bet it’s not cheap either.

I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

Maybe a higher quality/more befitting design on that knob (in this pickup application) would equate to better acceptance...Maybe not.
First time I drove the truck it was a rental, I had a Ford. The knob, I scoffed at. at the end of the rental I loved the knob and the truck...see ya later F150

As fat as the margins are on these trucks, I'd rather see a trade off like not to emboss the ram head on the upper console armrest...and give me even a plastic knob that looks like that.

Right here, also on Amazon for the same price. Silver (clear anodized) is sold out right now.

I’m glad I read this topic. I was looking something different but didn’t like all the ones with writing all over them. I just ordered the black one with red screws for my rebel.

Mopar seemed to have abandoned the dial shifter in the Durangos since 2018. I think they all have T-Shifters now. So that makes the RAM the only vehicle in the Mopar lineup with such a woozy thing? Lol

Real quality. Waiting for response from Adam on availability of clear silver. Thanks again. Fitz

You're welcome. As I said in another thread, $75 seemed like a lot to me, but after getting it, it's seems well worth it.

I couldn't vote since the poll didn't include my option.

Agree. Just got a response from Adam. The clear will be back in stock and available 5/1.

I don't mind the dail, I do miss my 08 column shifter though, I don't know where to rest my hand now...I guess on the steering wheel?

cool-i like the ball-i know the console shifter takes up space but thats where i like it-besides when there is extra space there everyone i know just fills it with clutter and it ends up looking junky. Forces you to not be a pack-rat unless you just fill the deep center box with crap. Atleast its out of sight.

I wish I could afford the cost of one of these. Hard to drop $99 with the screw colors you want which btw was a cool addition. It is awesome though and a great idea.

If this was $35 and the colored screws were $2 he would sell a **** ton of these and probably make more money. Hard to drop $99 with the screws you want on that. It is awesome though and a great idea.

These are a specialty item and the CNC milling equipment to do this is very expensive. The B & M knob is $60-$65 and it's insert with the logo is only held in with an O ring. More machining to this one, and IMHO it's a much better design. I also give them credit for coming up with a great design, when we only had one other to choose from (B & M). On a Facebook post I found while searching for knobs I saw that initially they were $85 btw.

$35 would be if they were a cast pot metal product made in China.

You are right. I will edit my response. There is great value to made in the USA as well.

I really dont like the dial shifter , I dont have a problem using it I just miss the ability to run through the gears as I want and the buttons on the steering wheel dont do it for me.

BrazenHaven · Mar 4, 2020

On his site they are $75 free shipping with screws. So maybe he went down in price last time you looked.

I think it comes with the screws in the knob photos but if you want colored screws they are $4 a pop. Or do you get to pick your color screws with whatever knob you choose? That could be a $24 game changer.

There are a few options for colors when ordering. I got the red screws and didn’t pay any extra. When it comes in Friday I’ll post a photo.

I agree, I preferred being able to downshift when going downhill with the column shifter. Maybe just have to get used to using the buttons on the steering wheel, but I usually just hit "tow/haul" on a downgrade, and it bumps down one gear.
