Some people have different views on what warm and hot are, but my shifter gets warm, I would guess in the 40-50 Celsius range. The shifter is directly connected to the transmission, which is directly connected to the motor, and is down wind of all of it, so the hot air from the radiator, engine, etc, will be passing by. It also depends on what driving you are doing, city driving will make the shifter hotter due to less air movement, leading to more heat soak. But if it is a new truck to you, the above checks would be good to see how it is running and everything.
