I just watched a Youtube video on the CarExpert channel that was posted two days ago and they showed a Ranger Raptor (assuming 2025 model - possibly Aussie version??) that has grab handles on BOTH sides! I would sure like to get my hands on that pillar. I know it probably has some other hardware underneath but I really need it to get my fat rear-end inside my truck!

I am almost 70, one of the reasons I went back to the gym was getting in and out of my truck. The grab handle has been discussed extensively on this site. Several people have ordered them from foreign countries and have found that they don’t fit. I believe it is an airbag issue.

You never know though, seems like stuff is being introduced overseas, hopefully the aftermarket market will catch on here also.

This was one of my complaints when I completed my recent customer satisfaction survey from Ford. I did the same on my previous 2019 Ranger so apparently they aren’t listening. It is a big oversight as they have them in the F 150.

No dice guys! The US model does not have the mounting points in the A pillar, I had mine apart when I dropped the headliner.
This is the Thai version someone posted on my thread about this issue. Are you absolutely positive there is no place to mount the grab handles bracket ? It would probably be somewhere behind the air bag. Someone else said that there's some kind of overlap on that side of our vehicle because of a crash test requirement or something of the nature. But nobody supplied any pictures or raw data. I'm guessing if the A pillar looks like this picture and there are 2 holes to mount the grab handle bracket, I have all the part numbers to order the parts for A pillar grab handle assembly. I was going to do it myself, but I chickened out cause I didn't want to spend the $300 for all the parts to do it and I'm afraid to take mine apart to look at. You'll find all the part numbers, and parts in my thread in page 2. The picture will show that it's the passenger door but my parts guy had the computer right in front of me and showed me that it was for the driver's side. The picture was for illustration purposes.

Also, someone did mention that it would be in the way of the steering wheel, and I can see that being a possibility. That could have been their idea in the first place. But the European versions do have them.
