While it's an old way to do it, it really gives you a ton of usable space in the console area.

Just being honest. That's where a shifter for a truck belongs. And yes you get some cool storage or tons of cup holders

The console shifts always feel cheap too, and they are far too big (and a 92FS fits fine in my hand). Honestly there is nothing appealing about a console shift in a Ford truck.

I agree. Console shifts look nice. Column shifts are utilitarian, which is much better for someone who works in their truck. My vehicle is a mobile office...
