I’ve never had an issue using the low grab handles.

seems like a spot to bump your head

This has been the single biggest gripe people have had when trying to get in/out of ours, for everyone except my son and I. But we're a little more nimble (even if we are the tallest). Most everyone else is so used to reaching UP for a handle instead of FORWARD, and so they're not entirely sure how to use the lower handle. This addresses that problem...and I wonder if there's a way to retrofit it into a '24.

Not sure why the surprise. This was mentioned and discussed last August when the 60th Anniversary Edition was previewed.

See my response to a thread discussing retrofitting prior model year Broncos with the A pillar grab handle.

The lack of the A pillar handles is my one main gripe of my '25. Had it been a confirmed thing they were going to be on the '26 rather than speculation, I probably would have delayed my order.

And this won't be something that can be retro'd with the airbags.

Any Raptors?
Did you see the new rear view mirror snd camera in the third taillight?

 

[Bronccraig]

Soooo your saying theres a chance…not much to change i think except maybe a manual V6..)..it is a great design already, maybe some overhead wipers would be cool )

The irony with the new grab handle is that the people who need it the most probably lack the upper body strength to actually use it.

I’m glad Ford is listening to their customers. People will be pleased. I am tall though. I would bump my head. So, I am happy with the original location. I’ll have check out the video later to see other improvements.

Definitely jealous of the grab handles. I've figured out how to get in and out of my Bronco relatively easy but passengers struggle at times.

It's a conspiracy to sell more side steps for the short-rounds.

Ford is seriously too cheap to give the handle on the side of the phone bin now??
I know I’d hit my head on those A Pillar handles constantly.

The pregnancy handle, didn't see much use....... It was never available on the Base, but I believe it got dropped from the BB and OBX a year or two ago, while remained on other trims.
