Does anyone know if the make the 2017-2018 super duty with the shifter in the center console like the F-150's have? I could have sworn I have seen them before but maybe my mind is playing tricks on me.

 

No, they are all on the steering column.

 

Like Tricon said, only available on the 150's.

 

Console shifters are for the little girly trucks!

 

Haha thanks fellas! I am asking for my dad. I will have to tell him to keep looking at the Raptors I guess..

 

 

I'd like to see this option added to the Super Duty line someday. I had a 2010 F150 FX4 with the console shifter and thought it was a very attractive option.

 

Personally I love that they left it on the column. I like having the extra space to place my phone or other stuff.

 

I find that when towing with our Raptor, I down shift quite a bit (using the gear limit switch). The console shift, with the button on the side is much more natural to my hand, vs reaching up to the column mounted shifter. Ill just have to get used to it.

 

I'm with you on this. I don't mind it on the column, its where it should be on a 3/4-ton+ truck IMO.

 

Maybe Ford could add it as a Limited only option on the Super Duty's to help seperate them from the Platinums...

 

Agreed, the manual shifting on the column is a pain.

Fortunately with the 6.7L you never need it

 

Someone mentioned a while ago that Ford canvased the market and found that most guys thought the console shifter was for cars and real trucks always had them on the column. I'm guessing they will eventually offer it, but I doubt anytime soon.

 

IMHO, if you're willing to buy a Raptor, you have no business even considering a Super Duty. That's like buying a cheeseburger when you want an umbrella.

 

Downshifting while towing? What's that?

Oh, wait. I'm sorry. I own a 6.7L Powerstroke.

This truck is the ONLY truck that I've ever owned that UPSHIFTS while going UP a hill ...
