Default Gear Nob

Ok I'm sick of my hand getting burnt on the gear knob when it's a hot day.
So where is there a large range of gearnobs?

We just use the ford bucket hat that ford gave us when we bought the xr, also covers the compartment under the head unit, so no little eyes can see in the there. But a hot gearknob can help with that granny shifting issue.
About to change over to the stubby holder, THANKS BRUTE6..!!..

Tint your windows + use a fold up shade. Smartest thing you can do to keep the sun out plus protect your interior from sun damage a bit. Both very effective.

Stubby holder also a great idea but they don't make them to cover the steering wheel aswell
