Shift knob, which one did you buy for your T4r?

[Drcoffee]

The one thing I dislike most about my truck is the shift knob. Looks dated and plasticy to me. Im leaning towards either a black or gray leather lexus or Toyota OEM shifter

Lets see what you went with, and if you don’t mind adding where you bought it. Thanks

Agree - I think a new steering wheel, shift knob and head unit would go a long way towards refreshing the truck, I havent gone to the steering wheel and shift knob yet, but thinking about it

I like the TRD ones, but they dont fit. Thinking that the one in my wifes highlander may fit and it looks nice and simple

I just bought this Toyota shifter on ebay. Still waiting for it to arrive.

My Limited has the same shifter knob, but mine is dried out and cracking, can you post a link to the eBay auction you bought your's from?

This thread got me to look on Amazon for a new shifter knob. The “knob” I found is just a thick black metal cylinder, but it was marked down from ~$26 to $8, so I ordered it. It arrives tomorrow. If I hate it, it was only $8. I also ordered a few LEDs for my shifter light and the cupholders. I don’t remember my cupholders ever having a working light.

I’m not a big fan of the metal shift knob. It’s not ergonomic at all, and it was cold to the touch today (It was around 32° outside).

Is there a trick to taking off the OEM knob? Mine won’t budge.

Nope, nothing special. Unscrew it.

The new knob came in today. Very dark gray, almost black. Just what I was looking for.

So it's essentially like the stock one, just a slightly different color? Same height and all?

Yes, the same size in full leather. OEM knob

Awesome, thanks. I've been looking for a replacement for mine. That and the carpet and the last grungy things left from the PO.

I asked earlier in this topic if you had a link to the shifter knob you purchased, but instead you posted a item number for your second choice, is there anyway you could post a link or item number for the one you bought, please?

I looked through many, many search pages/results on eBay for the one you got and never found it, I did find your second choice but it's not what I would like to get as a replacement.

Have a TRD knob in my white 4runner, have a black leather with marbled black piano wood in my red 4runner to match the factory wood trim.

The trd knob take a little bit of work to get it to fit though right? It’s a little too long for the 4th gens
