I guarantee you were either drugged or you were imagining the passenger handle, or your cousin's truck is an 08 Limited and he is trollin, haha. no stock 09+ F-150 has a handle on that side. It sucks....I love the SD for that reason.

There is an air bag behind that pillar, that's why it pops off so easily.
Putting a handle and bracket in front of an air bag will either cause the air bag not to work correctly, and really screw up your windows and the pillar, or throw a metal bracket and a handle at your face at 200 mph if you get in a wreck.
Wouldn't do it. Plus the steering wheel and the door handles work just fine.
