2018 Ford Expedition
Looks like a nice vehicle, but I'm not sure what to say about that dial knob business. Link

Looks great. The dial knob is fine, after a while, you don't think about it.
No conspicuous reminder of whether the truck is in park or not. I prefer a shifter handle. If it's not all the way forward or all the way up, you shouldn't be stepping out of the vehicle. Sadly, I predict more injuries.
Jeep crushes man, transmission left in neutral.
I seriously doubt that my 2016 F150 with console shift has any mechanical linkage to the transmission so I am not sure that going to a knob makes any real difference. It does have an alarm in case I forget to put it in park so again the knob would not make much difference, mostly just takes less space.
Console shifters in pickups have never made sense to me because they waste space and eliminate that extra seating position which I use sometimes. I do prefer a column shifter to a knob because it gives you a better visual cue that's pretty ingrained in me at this point.
