No console shifter?
Test drove a 2019 Lariat today with bucket seats and a console. But the gear shifter was on the steering column and not the console.
How can you order a Lariat and insure the shifter is on the console?

There was a guy that bought all the parts to do the swap. It's not cheap! The only parts you have to engineer is the cable to the transmission linkage. I believe he made it work by using the stock 6R140 cable end on the 6r80 shifter cable. I think it was like 1200.00 for everything. I personally hate the center shifter and have had it on my last 7 f150 trucks. I do wish the manual mode and the gear +/- was on the center console and could be reached without moving your hand like a BMW or how the allison's are set up with the keypad in Class 7 trucks.

Also, I agree, console shifters are for cars.
