Default Jesus Handle

Help! I'm looking for a passenger side overhead handle to install on my 2020 F-150. I have not been able to find anything online, nor does my local Ford Dealer have a a clue. I drive my elderly parents around, and they need an extra an handle to get in and out of my truck. Anyone know of a overhead handle kit? (Not looking for the one at 45 degree by the windshield)

Most new trucks don't have a handle in that location because of the side certain air bags under the head liner.

Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised ^ if it too much of a safety hazard to have something there, between side curtain airbags, and occupant's head

Cars have the assist handle on the headliner above the door so side airbags aren't the issue. Installing an aftermarket one could damage the side airbag. Trucks have them on the A and B pillar because it's lower location is easier to reach getting in the truck. Unless Granny is really tall I don't see how she would reach a grip on the headliner.

I saw a episode of my600lb life once. And they had this one 600 pounder who had issues getting in and out of a truck that reverted to using a foot stool with a strap tied to it. The strap was so that she could pick it up after she got in the truck. Something like this...

Now I’m not sure how it held 600lbs, but hey ya learn something new everyday lol.
