Console shifter

[RD2022]

Hello,friends! Currently driving a 2022 Big Horn e-torque. 90% love,10% hate! Considering getting a 2024 same,with some changes. Does anyone know if a console shifter on any model would be available? Not getting any help from the dealership salesman, I generally know more about these trucks than they do!! Also, which models would have the hill decent option? Must be part of a package? Thanks,keep that rubber smokin'!

I think the GT had a console shifter, don't know if they carried that to '24.

GT package is the only way to get a console shifter outside of a TRX.
And it's only available on Rebel and Laramie.

Hill Descent control is only available on Laramie's with the Off Road Group, which is mutually exclusive to GT Package.

So if you have to have Console shifter AND hill descent control, then you have to go with a Rebel with GT package.

Thanks that will help! The build/order website is somewhat confusing. I did notice you have to order Rebel Level 2 in order to get the GT package. So I have to get a bunch of other options I really don't want. Don't like this "package" ordering much!!

Agree with the dislike. There are two sides to the question.

A la carte ordering of every possible option would create a serious logistics problem for the assembly line, so it makes sense for them to package related things into a limited number of combinations. That's the good side.

But having said that, it seems like they went out of their way to package at least one thing I absolutely hate with every option I need, and I suspect this may be at least partly to increase profit by selling people things they don't really want. That's the bad side.

Seems like all the makers are doing it, so pick your poison, figure the combination that fits you the best, whine about it if it feels better, and get on with it like the rest of us.

Bullcrap! With what they are charging , make it happen. When I ordered my 2023 in December of '22, I was able to get manual fold tow mirrors as a separate stand alone option ($295).
Now you must get the "Load and Towing" group (2,240).
And this changed midproduction year so I don't want to hear about line problems.
It's exactly like your middle paragraph said, making you spend more on what you don't need/want to get what you do want
