just my opinion, but I dont like how the door handles are the same color as the rest of the truck, thats all I ever seen on the new king ranchs, i got black ones on my 06 copper king ranch and it just helps the looks of the truck i think. maybe i just have not seen enough new ones around but if i ever get a new one I want my door handles black.

 

I think I'm sorta with you on this one, racin. I thought I liked them when I first saw them, but then, they became, "dull".

Somehow, my tired old eyes want a bit of contrast along the sides of our trucks. The handles give that contrast to me.

i can see on a dark color the black handle would look better but i kind of like mine one my white truck.

 

hehe I like my truck colored door handles just fine.

 

I like them the ptm handles but i can live with my black ones.

 

i can't imagine the black plastic door/tailgate handles on mine. i think they came that way in '04/'05.

 

Yeah i dont really think the black plastic handles go well with the white kr's, it just looks out of place

 

yeah the white door handles are ok but like on the dark colors

 

Mine are the same color as my truck and I would never think of changing them. To me it makes the truck flow better. I have the stone green and still think black handles would just look out of place.

 

I hate my black handles and all black mirrors... They are fading

 

I have the black door and tailgate handles on my truck. I would absolutely prefer having them painted the same color as the body. It is a royal PITA to wipe on a good plastic product (Just Once) onto those handles without getting it on the paint. If they were painted, I could just wax them like the rest of the painted panels on the truck.

Now, I could use a water based product, like Adam's VRT on the plastic, but those products just wash right off if it rains or the next time I wash the truck. After it rains, those water based products leave streaks on the painted metal, another PITA to wipe off. I am still waiting for someone to come out with a good plastic dressing that lasts through a hard rain and is easy to apply. Not holding my breath though.
