I have to say, I see the fold down shifter to be an unnecessary gimmick. Yes, I like the fold open workspace. However, they could have gone with a dial shifter like the Mustang Mach E (and new Mustang Coupes) have and eliminated the need for all of that.
Agreed, I think the fold down shifter is stupid and there were many other ways they could have accomplished this without something else that can potentially break.
It's a way to save a few bucks on each truck vs doing all new tooling for a center console/filler to place the dial in. Gimmicky, sure...but there is a reason this truck is going to start at 40k even if they have the part available on another model.
