When shopping for trucks the shifter style is one of the things I pay attention to, I gave way too much consideration to Ford simply because they put the shifter in the correct location. I had to keep reminding myself it has an under-powered too-small engine.

 

Curious , were you shopping for a base 3.3 motor ? 

Because the rest of their motors coupled with the 10A , are all pretty damn quick.  Even the 2.7 moves out really well.

Maybe it's time to start accepting the fact that the demographic you THINK buys the most trucks is not actually the demographic buying the most trucks.

I dunno if different groups are seeing different posts but I swear everyone here was terrified that they’d use the button shifter from the SUV last year. But now everyone hates the console shifter. I

I prefer a button shifter...reminds me of the Allison controls on a lot of older and newer heavy trucks.   If GM isn't doing physical linkages anymore, button-shift on the dash seems like an

On the Ford lineup there is only 1 engine I'd ever consider, the 5.0 V8. some day I'm sure I will end up with an electric car like everyone else, but until that happens its a V8 or nothing. And its not a lack of experience, I owned an ecoboost once, absolutely hated it. the sound that engine made drove me nuts and at least to me it was no where near as powerful nor as efficient as everyone said it was. but, that's just my take on it.

I have to agree with you 100%. Stepdad owned a 2013 ecoboost for 6 years. I never was impressed with it. He Couldn’t ever get over 17 mpgs with it. Finally convinced him on a GMC Sierra with 5.3L and 10 spd combo. He averages 22 mpgs with it and loves it. Said has great power. Not the snap back instant “turbo” whoosh but more linear. I’ve also been really impressed with the new 5.3L/10 spd combo.

I honestly like the current interior better... The radio controls look like a cheap aftermarket radio. 

 

They should've used the current Yukon Denali interior with the column shifter IMO

So glad I have my column shifter. The console shifter is a waste of space. The dash button/lever sucks.

 

It sucks to see the column shifter having gone away, especially with the new redesign. GM was holding tight to this for so many years. I do hate the console shifter, and agree as that is a total waste of space.

Paddle shifters? What the hell for? It's a truck. I put in drive and go. If I need to go faster, I push the throttle down.

Driving mountain roads all the time I would use the paddle shifters. I drive in manual so it would be nice to use them instead of the button on the gear shifter. 

Not buying a truck to have them though.

I don’t mind the floor shifter. Looks wise  it’s the best look but like many have said it takes away space. I would have preferred the MBZ shifter style .  Column shifter like the GMs but shortened by about 6 inches so it’s not that visible.

I'm relieved and pleased that GM didn't go with push button gear selector like in the Tahoe and Suburban.  I bought a 2020 for 2 reasons, one of which was concern that the a 21 or 22 would have those push buttons.  It's the same reason I didn't buy a Ram.  That dial is a huge nope.  Imo, the only thing Ford had going for it was the console shifter.  Hopefully the console shifter will still be around in 15-20 years when I decide to buy another truck (hopefully my current truck lasts a long).  I don't mind the column shifter.  It is a reasonable compromise, but downhill driving is much easier with a console shifter.  And, if I want to get sporty with my truck it's more convenient to control with a console shifter than a dual, push buttons, or column shifter.  Big yeah for steering wheel paddles if I want to get sporty out in the desert, and I think that's why GM put them there to begin with -- ZRX.

 

As for the buttons at the bottom, that whole area looks like it came from a late 80s- early 90s car.  It'll suffice, but could've been better.

I think it's entirely possible that there will be button shifters on the non-Denali or HC trims. I honestly think this console shifter is just a Denali thing to make it feel more SUV'ish. 

I too think this is possible.  On the 2021 Yukon the Denali instrument panel is very different than the Yukon AT4 instrument panel.

      I am sure that was quite the pass experience and not a great place to experience during the winter when the conditions are not good. I've seen video of that pass and also more detailed information and pictures about the wrecks at that one hair pin turn where tractor trailers have flown right off the cliff and I am sure from all the warning signs that you know the exact curve that was !. After all there is a reason why a song was made about Wolf Creek Pass !. By the way and I didn't realize this either when I bought my truck as its nothing I even thought of that would be programmed into the cruise control and this occurs in either the basic or the more advanced cruise that controls your distance behind a vehicle and that is the brakes going down a hill are being applied as soon as the vehicle goes a certain speed over the set cruise speed. While it certainly does force downshifts in the transmission as you found out with cruise on while going down hill, its also dragging the brakes as needed to keep the speed controlled to what the cruise was set to. For me, I find that unsettling simply because I have no concept then as to how MUCH brake input is being used a and just how hot are those brakes getting and the wear factor as well. I can see that system getting a person into trouble on long mountain grades while pulling a trailer as it would not only be standing on the brakes of the pickup without any driver input, it would also be automatically applying the trailer brakes and it could cause a run away unit by overheating the brakes. Its one thing on a shorter hill and if the driver allows it to do its thing but on a long mountain grade is where things could get so out of hand. As someone a while back on this forum said, they had someone following them at night I believe on a down grade and had the cruise set and the person behind them could see the brake lights being energized all the way down the hill. I figured when I saw your comment that you didn't know and would have no way of knowing that your truck was applying the brakes and that you would and rightfully so assume you only used the brakes when you pressed on the pedal to slow down more than the cruise set speed for the slower sharp curves. So its good knowledge to know this about the newer GM trucks, certainly when doing any descending on long mountain grades. In the future try kicking off the cruise and use the the manual mode on a pass to see what that is like as I know myself when I first experienced it I thought no way can this engine be holding me back this well and tried the same hill in manual mode and sure enough the engine was revving way up and still could not hold the trucks speed down like it could in cruise mode.    Fuel mileage, that is where a really low sleek type of car can do better at higher speeds, certainly it starts sucking fuel too but a tall pickup is pushing massive amounts of air and also allowing a lot more air under it and the tow mirrors as in elephant ears pushing through the wind  as well. Driving like grandpa is about as good as one can do when driving one of these if trying to get the best fuel economy they can. I bet these trucks would get the best mileage they can if driven on a freeway in Florida if not busy traffic at a sedate speed and that sea level elevation without hills, vastly different then Colorado !.
