My '02 had the shifter on the column - to appease the Japanese market.
New for '05 has the shifter on the floor.
FWD if you don't get the 4x4.
My Madza had a 4whl lock button. I don't see that on the Ford, but their website might not show it. Plus, they redid the 4wd for '05, so it may not even be available anymore.
