Just noticed the 2018 Sport has a dial shifter...

Whats the last year for the floor shifter? I have 2013 sport with it and really dont want to ever go the dial route. Hoping in the next 5 years they bring it back.

I think late 13's started to get the dial.

Dang I got lucky.... hope they can make an 8 speed floor shifter soon

I wouldn't plan on a floor shifter.

Dial Shifter...Those Bastages....

IIRC, you get the floor shifter in 2013's with the older 6spd trans. The 8spd gets the dial shifter.

Lol. Agreed. I had a loaner 2018 v6 with the dial and the 8 speed and was no fan of it at all. I missed the column shifter on my 2500. That's where it's supposed to be on a truck. I hope they don't go the dial route on the next gen HDs . Just my .02.

I've had dial shifter for the past 5 years, and I like it..saves space

 

[JB1]

New HD's will retain the column shifter but not the 1500's

It took a week or two to get used to my dial shifter but honestly I kinda like it now.

 

[MaximumSteel18]

I didn't think I would like it either but its really no difference to me.

My 16 has it. It sucks. My 11 is floor shift, like it much better.

Keeping the 11 a long time

Nowadays, even if they offered it, it would be 100% electronic....you could always grab a shifter out of the junkyard and mount it in a cupholder for nostalgia....

At least then I’d have a place to rest my hand ... I’ll be lost down the road when it’s time to replace my 12 ... Can’t get the cool hood any more either ... Honestly, I do manual shift a lot when runnin around town to avoid the MDS drone

You can manually shift the 8spd all day long too, but it's a matter of pressing + and - buttons with your left thumb as opposed to clicking a shifter. Not the same I hear you, but I think a cable shift is dying a quick death these days.

I doubt that you're ever gonna see those again.

It's kind of a **** off though,the A8 cars like the challenger have a console shifter.My wifes 2016 Challenger has a console shifter and I prefer it over the dial shifter in my truck.You can add paddle shifters to the 8 speed trucks if you are so inclined.It's not cheap,but a young guy in Edmonton Alberta makes a plug-n-play kit to add the Mercededs AMG aluminium paddle shifters to the trucks.Got them in my truck and love them,they're far better then the buttons on the wheel,which at times under full throttle will need a couple stabs to make the tranny shift.

I thought the whole thing with tranny's is that they already shifted! Though maybe not when under full throttle!!!

Unfortunately most stock automatic transmissions shift too early thereby not utilizing the top end power of the engine. Manually shifting the automatic, if you are racing or even pulling a load allows the full range of each gear to be utilized. This is beneficial in so many ways. Automatic transmissions can be set up to have shift points different than what came from the factory, and it is very easy to do so with todays electronic transmissions and the right equipment.

Or you can just hit the “Tow/Haul” button ...
