shift lever difficult to move

I've got a 2018 f250 6.7, and I've noticed that the shift lever is hard to move - it's not so much a problem for me, but my wife complains. Then, I had purchased a 22 f350, and now when I shift, it goes all the way to M because it's so easy! I also drove a friends 19 f250 and it's just like my 22, easy to shift.

What can I check on my 18 that may be causing it to be a little more difficult to move between gears? it's not binding, or fighting me - but it's like it's a lever on a bolt, and someone tightened that bolt a little too much, so the lever is harder to move.
