Check out the hump on the shifter base. This won’t shift between gears like the current model. Looks like you might hit it once either direction to advance to the next position.

I wonder where the 4 x 4 shifter/**** is located.

Look at the button to the left of the auto button. I bet that is the function for all three in that single button.

Push once, defrost, push a second time, vent, press a third time floor, press a fourth time, defrost and floor?????? Not sure Ford engineers could implement that or not from what I have seen.

Looks that way at first, but on closer inspection it looks like it functions normally and they're just trying to make it look high tech. At least I hope so, didn't Chrysler group learn their lesson on those gearshifts when people died and revert back to mechanical?

My dads ram has that style shifter. It's harder to accidentally move than you think because of the way the track is designed. I wonder if there is a button you push with your thumb like on cars 20 years ago. If is free moving like the ram that is a problem because its built into a straight track

I think what they meant though was it looks like one of those electric shifts you tap up or down once, a gear at a time. I'm hoping that appearance is deceptive. Hopefully the lower models still have a regular column shift at any rate. And key ignition.

my car has a straight track with a thumb button

SUMMERS, for the sake of accuracy, you left out "and no *****". Unless??? Can't be too careful today, right? LOL, just kidding. In Las Vegas you have to be very careful, LOL.

But, I agree on the A/C control switches being dual/triple purpose. We're going to have to study the manual on that.

that function was likely moved to the touch screen...

I like the dedicated button for the heated steering wheel.

"Mode" button next to the gear lever and a "Drive mode" dial? I assume the Drive mode dial will be the 4X4 control, not sure why it's labeled as "Drive Mode" though.
