Silver shift knob

[Diablo3305]

anyone hear anything about the silver shift knob for the 4 runner? When you look at the 3d interior view on their webpage you can see a silver shift knob that is supposed to be offered in february. I wonder if this will be something we can buy from Toyota

bump.

I would like to know to, anyone know a price on this?

I have been looking around on parts sites, and I can't find anything about it. All I saw was something about it on toyota webpage, but it just says it will be available in february.

The silver shifter is on the sport editions. At least it is on my 2004 sport.

how is the quality of it, does it feel cheesy?

 

[BAMAJAS]

I like it a lot. It is leather and silver. If you have a 4runner brochure you can see it on the sport edition page. It really looks good with all the silver accents.

All,

I've been thinking about one of these ever since I testdrove an '03 Limited but bought an '03 sport with the leather knob. I called my dealer last week and he said they could special order the knob for about $95. Definitely not cheap, but for someone like me who's been dreaming about holding that chrome since the day I first drove my runner....well hey, one of those choices I guess!!

They definitely do not feel cheap. It's a very nice looking addition to the interior and it feels great.

Can you take a pic of it? I am not sure what you guys are talking about.

 

[BAMAJAS]

I don't have a digital camera so I can't take a pic. I think it is visible in the brochure at the dealer.

Hey Momo I just realized you are from Birmingham. How do like your spoert? I have had mine a week and am loving it.

Mine will be one year old this month and I have absolutely been loving it. Did you get yours from Hoover Toyota? What color did you get?

I have to take mine in this week to have the oil changed, so I will just have to check out the shift knob in one on the lot.

I ended up buying mine from Limbaugh. They beat the lowest price I could find. Are you doing 3000 or 5000 mile oil changes? The manual says 5000 but I have always done them at 3000.

 

[momo.75]

I would have bought mine there, but Hoover had the exact one I wanted plus a little more, so I got it from them. It would have taken Limbaugh a couple of weeks to get one in the way I wanted it. I pretty much got the lighted running boards, leather and 18" wheels for free since it had been used at the Auto Show.

I have always done the 3000 on all my other cars, but have been doing the 5000 on this one. I don't really drive it hard, so I feel comfortable doing that way.

 

[BAMAJAS]

I may have to give the 5000 mile changes a try. That's great that you got all that stuff for free. Free stuff rules!

Not sure what the silver shifter knob you're talking about is, but I bought a chrome ball and put it on my 4wd shifter. I have a Hurst T-handle on my 5-speed stick. They deffinately look better than the leather originals.
