It is higher than in my old Bronco, but it only took about a week to adjust. The only beef I have now is that it is a little slow to return to center if your turn is actually more than 90 degrees. The on ramp I hit after work every day is about 110 degrees, and I have to either switch it off or wait until I get half way to the highway for it to switch itself off.

My complaint with the "blinker" is its too loud and too fast, who needs that racket when you're trying to listen to the tunes!

Damn. You need to crank the tunes up a little bit.

The TS lever is perfect for me. First car/truck that had it in a place that felt natural to me. Everybody's different though.

The position of the blinker switch arm has bothered me a bit. WHY? New coke old coke. Don't mess with a good thing. Motor trend is not likley to over-hype the truck for the switch (as it did for for thruck itself). To me it would be like putting the ingnition key on the left side of the column. That would even mess up a lefty.

This was a good post...if that's the thing that bothers him the most about his turn signal arm, then he loves his truck!! :-)

The highbeams/brights, when turning them on you push the signal/blinker/flashy light thing away from you, what is with that?!...I almost can't reach the thing after I turn on my high beams/brights.

The turn signal location didn't bother me for even a second. Very used to where it is and like it there. Put me in the thumbs up club for this blinker stinker.

Heck, is that all you have to worry about. Darn turn signal lever. Must have a very nice truck if that is all you can come up with.

I agree it is a little different place from the past but get used to it.

Oh there are plenty more issues with this truck. I've had it since September, and it's been in the shop 6 times. I still love it though.

Well it seems like there are plenty of others who share my thoughts on this matter.
After trying to tally-up all the post thus far it's about 40% do not like and approx 60% have no problem with it. There is a margin for error there because of the totally mindless statements made.
