GM Pickup with a Console Shifter ?

[Cosmic Charlie]

What are your feelings about a console shifter ?

I like the look of the "other" trucks with it. Definitely has a more sporty look (to me).

My current SLT already has the huge console without a shifter available ...

Would plowing snow be easier or more difficult ? D to R and R to D ...

My friend said it would just waste more space but that space usually just has some junk stored there anyway +-

Any idea why GM does not offer it ?

I wonder if some people bought the "other"  truck because of the shifter  location (for  looks or use or  ...) ?

 

Would you prefer a console shifter over the column shifter ?

 

I would try / buy it if they offered it.

Column shifter all day long!

I would love the option of a console shift.

My buddy has it in his F150 and I think it looks great.

Gives the truck a higher end sportier look.

Can't imagine anyone would buy a truck for a floor console but ya never know. I prefer the look and functionality of the column shift. Console shifter is for cars.

My console always has a collection of 'stuff' in it.

 

Most is stuff I want in the truck, that wouldn't have any other good home. 

 

I'm definitely a shifter on the column vote. 

 

 

But I would like to be able to move the drink tray and access the area under it,  like on the 2015 1500's (and others, I assume)

 Column for me. I plow and don’t think I would like it any other way. Wouldn’t mind them sending my hi-low beam back to the floor either. I’m sure by now they could make a switch for the floor that wouldn’t rust away.

Column for me.

I prefer column, but would take a console if it was all that was offered. However, if all that was offered was a dial, then I'd not buy that truck...

I’m old school - column shifter. Something about grabbing the shifter and yanking it down into Drive.

+1 on the dial

No, keep the column shifter (which is what the 19+ trucks are still going with)

Keep the column shift, learned to drive with 3 on the tree.

I have seen the future. On the column it stays...

 

(OK, actually most of us here seen the future but it sounded cool to say it.)

yeah i want a console shifter, and a third pedal to go with it!

Column shifter for me all the way in a pickup truck, on a sport car a console shifter is fine!!
