Column shift? Still around in any new vehicles? (F150, vehicle, 2013)

Well, just like it says.

Any? Trucks or work vans I guess since it goes with a bench seat.

Haven;t seen three on a a tree for a long time.

I think it was about 1986 or 87 that the last 3 on the tree was built, on a Chevy pickup, and yes, with bench seats.

My 2013 Chevy has a column shift.

Most police interceptor vehicles have a colum shift. Most 3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups still do. No manual transmission option.

Mercedes have a puny little stick attached to the steering column. Seriously tiny even compared to a normal column shift. I guess it's electronic, rather than mechanical. 2013 Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class Gearshift Interior Photo | Automotive.com

They apparently need the room in the console between the seats for the COMAND system, which is the complicated controls for the radio, navigation, etc.

Our 2016/17 F150 work trucks have column shifters

I don't think that qualifies under the OP's request of new vehicles.

Many people here are not getting the thrust of the OP's question...


To me a column shifter is for a manual transmission equipped car , along with a clutch pedal.


Having a vehicle with an automatic trans , with a gear selector on the steering column, is not the same thing, at all.
