Dont think so, If you look at your mirror images, the grab handle would face the windshield and be backward. The photo I show, the handle does face back and would fit the drivers side.

 

Look again.... My point was this is possibly a case where the passenger side image was inadvertently mirrored, resulting in the pic you found. I'm not saying either way for certain.. just a possibility.

Looking at chevy truck web sight, It seems that even the 1wt option or all trucks come with a passenger assist handle from the factory. There would be no need for an accessoriy handle for the pass side.

Oh ok cool. I know some online images showed the Sierra without, that's why i thought it might be a passenger add on.

 

Adding more positive to your purchase, I popped my driver's A-pillar and the two handle bolt holes are there:

I thought the same as you guys. Why offer it as an 'accessory' for the passenger side when it's standard on every model? Look forward to seeing your pictures SAMS819K2XX.

My 2014 SLT has it. Maybe it is standard on the SLT model.

 

I am pretty sure mine has it as well. I'll check tomorrow.

This is a factory option that is $85.00 on a Canadian truck. I ordered it. It showed up at the dealership two weeks after I got my truck. So it is available. I haven't been back to get it yet but will be in about two weeks.

It is not standard on any model.

between the steering wheel and handle on the headliner, do people really need a 3rd handle?! lol maybe it's because I'm new to a general truck forum, but man people on this site make the biggest deals about the smallest things! lol next thing you'll need is a step up to your running boards then you'll need a handle so that you can grab your newly added handle!! Like stairs for your truck!!!!

Steering wheel is not a handle! Its very bad to use it as a handle. Check out any lifted truck and see how sloppy/loose the steering wheel is

I used the steering wheel exclusively in my 96 Z71 for 10 years without any slop in the steering. You're probably experiencing issues cause by the lift and larger tires.

That being said, I do think the handle would be nice to have. WTF isn't this standard equipment?

It's a big deal to me because I would use it. For me, trying to use a handle on the interior roof, that I can't see from the outside, is a bit awkward.

Call me crazy, but I don't think it should take being a long-time forum member to understand that different people like different things, and sometimes it's the little things that people enjoy most about their vehicles.

I'm not knocking on peoples likes and dislikes, I just found it humorous reading some of these posts, about handles, or should I or should I not lock my tailgate everytime, that one is like 6 pages long lol

      OCI, not when but why?

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I agree. That`s a LOT of sludge for 12,000 miles. I tossed that out here since this is an OCI thread. There`s tons of people here that do not post.   I used to work on a city fleet. That includes police cars and fire trucks. Lesson is, not to only use the odo for oci. A police car has a ton of hours on the engine for the miles it shows. And, not just idling, directing traffic. They beat on these things.   Course, since it is a Kia, they were gonna use the "100,000 mile warranty" for their OCI.😉

      Manufactuer's Defect - Paint Failure - Cherry Red High Country 2021 Suburban

      By AlVeron · Posted

      CLASS ACTION SUITS?  Does anyone know if there is already a class action suit for the paint - which was to have been fixed, changed in after the 2020 GM vehicles?  Does it look like this?    Just started 3 weeks ago - No help from GM as of yet - Dealer will not assist in speaking with GM on my behalf. Confirmed it is the paint they use along with the way the put it on that causes it to fail.  Clearly a Manufacturer's Defect.

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      That dog don't hunt. 😏   First, a 2025 with 12K on the clock AND idled for a year nonstop is false on it's face; this is 2026. You can do one or the other but not both.    Second, ENGINE HOURS are absolutely available. The rest is third grade math. Micky Mouse scanner he got out of a box of Cracker Jacks OR an ID10T error.    Third, if they ran it out of oil "Several times" that motor is boned on the first hit.    Does this guy think piling higher makes it stink less?

      OCI, not when but why?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      That's interesting, I assume that would add to the cost of the oil but also I was forgetting to bring up the issue of the low tension rings allowing more oil past which in turn forces the cats to have more oil additives pass through them that wouldn't otherwise so they are creating that problem and of course its all in the name of fuel economy. Mind you the other issue would be the lack of additives that fight the formation of carbon within the piston ring grooves which turn the engine into an oil burner and with in this GM forums case is your average off the shelf Dexos licensed oil, meanwhile the other off the shelf oil being Valvoline's R&P isn't licensed and the only one that is which is that certain Mobil oil that came out recently ( its not even being marketed in Canada ) and only a fraction of vehicle owners are going to be using it out of all the other oils on the shelf or the quickie lube bay that meet the Dexos spec by way of actual licensing.    Also I suspect that its an easy excuse to pool the non turbo DI engines in with the turbo DI engines and design the oil to not have LSPI issues in the most demanding engines and short change the naturally aspirated DI by not offering a higher concentration of additive package they could handle and still not be at risk of LSPI.    I wonder if Amsoil flipped the switch just lately and did whatever packaging designation at the same time as I wonder what oil formulation I would have bought in May, of course I don't know when it was packaged at the factory vs how long it was in storage at the Edmonton warehouse. I know its been said at least in the past that the big players switch over to a reformulated oil but the packaging has not changed until they make that move as well so there is that cross over time where its a new formulation in a predated formula marked package.

      Hmm. A real reason to not just use the odometer to determine OCI?
