Hi Everyone!

I just bought an '04 XLT Supercab 4x4, and my only complaint with it is there are no grab handles to pull yourself up if you're climbing into the back seat. Does anyone know if these exist in the aftermarket world? The dealership is at a loss for where to find these.

Thanks!

 

You think its a problem for you. Mine has a 6" lift and all I ever hear from my friends is how they refuse to ride in the back because they cant get in.

 

one hand on the door armrest, 1 foot on the running boards and you are in, no issues. My 5'0"" wife does this with no issues on the exact same model you have.

 

My Lariat SCrew DOES have the grab hanldes. Wonder why that's not standard on the SCab?

 

Rear seat grab handles are standard on XLT SCrews, also. They would be beneficial on the SCabs, as well.

 

I agree, it's rediculous that there are no grab handles on the SC! The door handle theory will work with most people, but my poor limited-mobility parents are going to have a really rough time trying to climb in with no grab handles. Not a problem unless I have to cart both of them around at the same time....

A 6" lift! I think I'd pass on your back seat too!

 

be careful pushing down on the armrest on the door to boost yourself into the truck. This is how alot of hinges get bent. They were not made to support that much wieght.

 

Hey Sherm I like the sig, lol.

WhiskeyGirl, the back seat is fine, I promise, its not that hard to get into...dont pass it up! The step bars do help but its still a climb. Sherm we need some back seat winches...

 

If you are lifted 6", seems it would be a problem to even grab the handles!!! lol!

 

They are not on the supercab's because there is no center post between the doors like the supercrews.

Good point. But couldnt Ford have put them on the roof or something???

 

Or even on the side of the front seats...

A backseat winch! Now yer talkin'!

 

Can you image the warrenty claims and compalins from the tubby, er... FAT americans that would wrench on it and rip off the handle or bend the thin sheet metal on the roof!?

Shoulda' got a screw or eat your wheaties!

EDIT: Oh yeah, your name combines two of my favorite things - Whiskey & Girls! HOT!

 

not to sound like an ***, but did you take this into account when you bought a 4x4 truck?

Me personally, I find the grab handles to be a bigger pain to use than putting a hand on the armrest (my *** isnt that fat yet)

 

I dont ever ride in the back of my Truck so f00kem all. If they cant get in they cant ride! My 6" lift filters out fat chicks when I am intoxicated anyways!
