Hello. Hope this isnt a stupid question but why dont the F-150’s come with some sort of ceiling/roof grab handle? Sometimes if my wife is driving and im sitting in the front or back (if my kids wanna ride shotgun) i constantly find myself reaching up for a handle of some sort. Numerous passengers in my truck also look for it as well! Ive been in full size tundras and titans and they both have them. Is it an American truck thing? I dont think my bro in laws 2019 chevy has them either. I own a 2019 F-150 SCREW. I know they have the pillar mounted handles but they offer a funky holding position, if you will, when your searching for something to grab onto and hold while cruising around. Maybe its just me?

 

Yes, it's just you. Apparently your wife isn't a good driver?

Can't recall anyone bringing this up in the years I've been on this forum. n

 

Haha. Its not even that. Its just sometimes i like the feeling of propping up my arm while riding as a passenger. Like i said i even notice passengers who ride with me constantly raise thier arm up as to look for some sort of handle only to find either nothing or a tiny coat hook! Its the funniest thing! But yeah i dont understand why they dont have them wheras the import full size trucks do.

 

I believe the technical term for that is an "Oh S*** Strap".

 

It's annoying they aren't there. My 2010 fusion has them but not the drivers side, that's annoying too. I get to watch my passengers grab their o-**** handle in envy. Well I'm mostly in my truck now. It's as much of a convince thing as it is a fidget thing lol.

 

Haha my wife constantly reaches up for one when she is in the passenger seat. I agree they would be nice to have. We are used to them from various other cars (pretty much all other cars actually LOL).

 

Ok good soni wasnt the only one! Cmon FORD!

 

Maybe an air bag thing? Arm in the way of inflation?

 

Yeah a most likely scenario. The side curtain bags.

 

You'd think but nope, other vehicles have side impact bags and have grab handles.
