electric or not?
I am thinking about getting a new 4x4, and can't decide if I want the electric shift 4x4, or the floor shifter 4x4. What are some of the pros and cons of both? Also I was considering getting the expedition center councle, and was wondering if it would even fit with the floor shift 4x4. Thanks for any info.

Pros:
No reaching down for the shifter.
No shifter on the floorboard.
Cons:
Floor shifter has a positive feel of being in gear. You rely on a light to tell you the elec. is engaged.
One more solenoid to go bad.
No neutral position for the transfer case(I think, anyway.) This means you are not supposed to tow it four wheels on the ground.

This has been discussed. Do a search for it. One more thing.. You can't put that nice Expy center console in if you have it on the floor.
