To answer the question, I really don't care. There are much more important things to worry about in a truck IMO.

I would never!!!GM ,please never do that!!!

lol stfu. I'm really tall and would love a floor shifter. I curse that damn thing every time I bump it with my knees. Makes it hard to run the truck in 3rd because it barely clears in D.

I hate most of the new cars just because they do have a floor shifter.

Both my truck and my automobile have a column shifter.

 

I don't want to drive for short trips or long trips with my right let rested/rubbing against some stupid 'console'.

 

Very few automobiles left that one can get a column shift.

 

I think it is a generational thing. Column shift is for the older generation and the younger generation thinks that the floor shifter is 'cool'.

 

For those of us with long legs, the console just makes any size vehicle claustrophobic.

 

I sat in an H2 Hummer. There's no room up front with that huge console. My 1988 Mitsubishi Plymouth Colt sedan had more seat room than the H2 Hummer.

 

As it is with my 2008 GMC Sierra WT - with power windows, my left leg hits that stupid door handle. Dumb design on GM's part there.

What may be useless for you is not for me !

If you don't wanna answer ,just don't do it ! but don't try to ridiculize me!

With the width of the US cars and trucks it is not a real problem except if you are very great and big, in Europe all the cars and Asian truck have floor shift (European Ford pick-up too), It is an affair usually I had numerous cars with floor shift but I like the column shift too

Noooooooo. I had a floor shifter (standard), and that was one thing that I did not like. I much prefer the shifter on the steering column. It was a PITA as it always seemed to be in the way of something.

Had a floor shift on my titan and loved it. Like svensk, in 3rd it's pretty close to the legs. I think having the option of both would be best. It seems that the company's that offer both seem to sell more with the floor shifter. Atleast that's the way it seems around here.

They would have to offer both or only column I'd think, since the regular cabs need the third seat.... I only like floor if its manual.

My '06 has the 2LT package so has the big console. I've been thinking about putting a Hurst auto shifter in the console and taking off the column lever. For me it would be more convenient (although it would make using the cup holders more difficult) and it would have ratchet shifting capability for manual shift control.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.
