The lack of handles and hooks in this truck...

[DangItsDen]

I am honestly totally dumbfounded by the lack of utility things in this truck that used to be in the 5th gen.

No drivers side grab handle is ATTROCIOUS. Goodbye left side bolster. That thing will be smushed to hell within a year of scooting across it. No, grabbing the steering wheel isn't the same. Such a dumb omission.

No roof grab handles above rear passenger doors!???? These are crucial for shorter passengers and I honestly used them for way more than that. I have to haul stuff to photoshoots and I used to run a hanging bar across the backseats to do so. Now I have literally no way to do it in this truck.

No coat hangers above rear doors? C'mon man. Two wimpy tiny ones in the trunk don't quite cut it either.

Meanwhile the Land Cruiser has all of these and even some fkn grab handles in the trunk!? And not one but TWO grab handles for the driver. This is stuff you don't think to look for when buying a new vehicle because you assume its there. Shit is insane. Thank you for coming to my TED talk.

I noticed the same thing basic stuff missing. I personally think I should have looked at the LC or Lexus.

Yep, it's annoying. I usually hang my dry cleaning or garment bags on the rear "oh shit" grab handles and I didn't know they didnt have them until...wait for it...I went to go hang my dry cleaning and found out there was nothing there.

After I cursed for a good 30 seconds looking around for a hanger, I went to the trunk and hung them on those stupid little hooks.

Absolutely annoying.

I tried the little hooks in the rear and all my garments fell off. Not enough hook!

more reason to buy some interior molle panels!

Yes and no. In the instance for dry cleaning, garment bags etc, the molle panels will be too low to the floor. With the damn oh shit handles, the clothes would just hang nicely without having to bunch them up.

Hopefully a company comes out with a solve...

I am tempted to try this hanging bar across the hooks in the back, but cannot for the life of me find a weight rating online. I typically have like 30 things to hang on there for photoshoots and I assume it will be like 40+ lbs. Would def work for hanging dry cleaning or other normal laundry though.

I just lift the rear headrest a little and hang my dry cleaning off it

Thanks for the link. I just ordered it to throw in the back of the truck for when I need to hang garment bags, clothes, et al. Cheers.
