To me it seems wrong to use the steering wheel and quite frankly, I don't think it works very well as a grab handle.
I upgraded to an f350 in August and it took me 5 months to start using the grab handle instead of the steering wheel. So used to not having one I keep forgetting its there. Always thought you guys whining about no grab handle were just being silly but after taking 5 months to make the switch between what I was used to and the other method I can understand where you are coming from, haha!

Looks like the Atlas to me. I don't see any of the dodge, or Toyota resemblance people keep claiming. Guess I'm in the minority

From that pic the only real difference between the front ends of the Tundra and new f150 is the headlights. The grill, hood and bumper are basically the same. It's really evident on the base models of each with the black bumpers and grills. Just my opinion.

I see no grill resemblance at all. Different shape, size, and style. Hood on the tundra has a higher profile to me. Maybe the fog light area of the bumper looks alike, but that's it. But like you said, just my opinion

steering wheel is a poor second choice. Especially if you remote start and the wheel moves when you get in.


Has anyone succeeded is ADDING a drivers side grab handle?

The wheel doesn't move until you turn the key to the on position.
