TRD Shift Knob - Are You Glad You Did It?

I've been looking at replacing my stock OEM shift knob with the TRD version since it looks so easy even I can do it. Thought it would be nice to have something a bit more substantial, but not sure about the red stitching and side accents since my interior is black/cement with white stitching, and the stupid thing costs $96 by the time I have it shipped. For those of you who have purchased one, is it worth it? Thanks

 

Yes. But only because I have the @MESO ect button haha.

 

Only thing I don't like about it was the price...I now see then on aliexpress for $23...!, sure they are "a knockoff" but I would have bought one had I known last year...

 

I prefer my Teton workshop knob. I think it’s far more unique and feels incredibly substantial and well made. Not that much more than the trd variant.

 

i love the knob but i hate how the boot collar does not stay attached to the knob. it falls down way too easily with the 3D printed attachment point on the knob. i find it so annoying that i am considering switching back to stock.

 

In before:

 

Mine stays just fine ‍

 

I didn't like the shape of it, so I eventually replaced it with the older ball style TRD knob with a collar for the boot I bought off of Etsy. That's assuming you're talking about the manual transmission. If automatic, that probably doesn't apply.

 

Sorry, you're right, I should have clarified. This is for the AT.

 

Absolutely same here!

 

NON-AT but added to my MT and hate it. Going to replace factory, too bulky for an MT.

 

Yes it is easily my favourite mod of the whole truck.

 

You can buy non OEM ones for a fraction of the price.

I've had my OEM one almost 5 years, I like it

 

Should have been the OEM setup on these trucks..

 

Agreed. Probably my most used button. Except for the start button.

 

Yup.

 

Padding on a shifter knob doesn't make sense to me, at least not on a manual shifter. I like the round ball type.

 

I like mine a lot, but I did get it on sale, so that helps. Still, I would probably do it again if I had to.

 

Not to derail OP's thread, but I agree. I drove for a while with the TRD pro manual shift knob, but it really is designed to be gripped one way. I went to a ball type one as I like to grip my knob in a variety of ways.
