Peter, just thought I'd throw this out there, not that it means a thing but it has me wondering: You gave me the site for checking my vehicle's "options" on the www.etis.ford.com page. Scanning through the list, it does actually say "Interior Grab Handles - Front/Rear". Now, honestly, that could mean something as simple as the "pull wells" on each door to grab and shut them from the inside! But to me, it would sound like the actual grab handles that Jeeps and other bigger SUVs, trucks, heck, even some cars have - in the back seats, they're always directly over the door center mounted about diagonally as the door frame curves to the ceiling (where they put coat hooks) and, for the front seats, either in the same place over the window or on the pillar ("A" pillar?) between the door window and windshield. It really is a shame that Ford didn't put those in the Explorer, they do come in REALLY handy for many people to grab and assist themselve getting in. Please talk to your boys at R&D about making that an add-on option for the 2011-2017 modelsThe FWD and AWD models are the same height. I believe only the Sport sits a little lower. Running boards are a late availability option on the 2017 and are not powered/retractable according to my salesman. Although I can't be sure, I believe the lack of handles on the seat and 'A' pillar is due to air bags being located there.
