[QUOTE="GordoJay, post: 1572336, member: 39584"] I like that I can lock out gears using the switch on the shifter, and it is a nice handrest, but the engineer in me looks at that thing and knows that it's just a big electrical switch. One that adds probably $500 to the price of the truck. It's like those SPST "transfer case" levers you see that are strictly for looks because the transfer case is electric. If I've got a big expensive lever sticking up in the middle of my truck, I prefer it to actually do something physical to the drivetrain. To have a reason to exist. Otherwise I'd rather see some elegant design that uses that space for something else. Kudos to Ram for having the balls to get rid of it. The fold-away solution is the worst of both worlds to me. Why can't they just design a nice handrest and put the lockout rocker on it? Heck, they could even make it look like a manly standard transmission shift lever instead of the current gurly automatic shift lever. :) [/QUOTE]
