2020 Explorer


Been in Ram lately? Some of them have a knob you turn for the transmission. It's been a couple years, but I test drove one like that. Didn't care for it.
My BIL has a new Ram, I was not impressed either, the gear selector seemed a little … Uhm, hoky (?)
 
Could have been back in the 40's as well, I just remember seeing 50's and 60's with them. My grandfather says none of them ever worked right that they'd start shorting out after a while...I imagine with all the electronic stuff today one short in a gear selector button would create a whole chain of not so wanted events like selecting reverse and going forward, selecting a gear and shorting out the computer, who knows, the electronic stuff has gone way too far IMO.

Maybe late 50's but it was mainly a 60's thing I think. I like it better than a knob.

53 was the prototype, 56 began main production, and starting in 65 they were gone completely.
 
Unless they go back to body on frame and 4X4, I won't be looking at one when it comes time to replace the 2011. Unfortunately, I might be looking at a 4Runner (assuming they are still making them) when that time comes. I also want four doors, so a Bronco won't cut it.
