Problem is...that shifter knob doesn't have the +/- on it to select gears..

I installed the bronco shifter with no +/-, but all the other information in this thread is for the expedition shifter, including all of the parts appended to the first post.

Expedition Shifter Part Number (confirmed for 2021 - 2023 trucks) : NL1Z-7P155-B or LL1P7P155CB

Look at the photo in post 391. - and + shifting is there.
For me, this set-up works better. Easier to operate the up and down shift buttons than what is on the upright, overly large, stock shift mechanism.
In addition, if your vehicle has the work surface, it can be used while driving.

I thank Ajzride for bringing this subject to life.
This morning I installed a rotary dial shifter, using the outstanding bin made by Alan, aka Ajzride.
Mine has the forward shifter position.
My 2022 PowerBoost, Platinum was produce on the first month of 2022. I purchased a new rotary shifter for 2022-2024 Ford Expedition. Part # NL1Z-7P155-B.
Got it from Sunrise Ford Parts.com. Fontana, CA.
I wanted a new shifter instead of something used.
It works. No codes, goes into 4 high, 4 low, locking axle engages just the same as before and + - switches function.
The truck doesn't know the difference.
This modification really cleans up the console area.
Me being me, I also bought another spare rotary dial that will stay in the truck.
One huge advantage of making this mod is, if for any reason the rotary shifter fails, It can be changed in 60 seconds. No dash or console trims need to be removed. Just lift the failed rotary dial out, disconnect wire harness and plug and place new shifter.

As for the spare, others can just get the cheap Bronco one that sometimes pops up for $30 as means of a get home shifter. That one is smaller too.

if you need something cheap to get home yes.. but if you are gonna buy another expedition shifter in the future anyway to replace it.. may as well just have the second on hand. I hope these prove to be a lot more reliable than the stupid large gimmicky shifter that came in these trucks

Why would you want an extra expedition shifter though. Those don’t typically break so needing two expensive shifters isn’t as needed.

Big thanks to @Ajzride for the massive help he is with this forum and others. I had started this process before the expedition model was made as well as I don't tow enough to need the manual shifter. I've only driven it once, but it feels like shifting between drive/park/reverse is much smoother with this dial. Now I need to break the habit of reaching for the old shifter.

All the more reason to swap in that Raptor steering wheel to retain the shifting from the paddles.

Looks great!

Finally got time to install mine. Love it.

Has anyone got this to work on a 2024 yet? Or still dead in the water on that?

Not yet. There are no shifter with TRON capability and the +/- buttons. If you can give up the extra buttons, then a 2025 Maverick shifter might work. After the swap you will need to fire up FDRS and PMI the shifter and add TRON keys. Then it MIGHT work.
