Skip the plastic version 77178 and the metal version 77178M.

Forget the plastic version of 77178. I bought and installed it but it bent when I tried to open the door. He eventually collapsed from pulling hard on it while trying to open the door. Later I got the metal version 77178M and it worked great. It didn't bend and fit better on my 1992 Ford F150.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Probably as good as OEM

I broke it up just like the original when I got the truck. So I think it's just as good as the original grip, but since I received the axle with the grip already broken, I have no reason to compare. I ended up buying the metal and also fixed the door panel interference issue that made you pull hard on it. I didn't feel like I was pulling that hard though, but maybe I was.

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

High quality - excellent fit

Easy replacement in about 15 minutes for a 1994-1996 Ford Bronco1. The inner door panel screws were removed using a #22 Phillips screwdriver. Marked the screws where they came from as there were several screws of different sizes.3. Lift the panel off the door just enough to allow access to a screw holding the door handle in place.4. Removed the broken remains of the old handle and replaced it with a new one.5. Door panel re-glued.

Pros
  • Top marks for grip and durability from testers
Cons
  • Damaged

1997 F250 Powerstroke

Overall good product and value for money. I'm just not sure how long it will last as this is the second plastic pen I've bought, but this is Dorman's first. Installation was easy. I was able to replace the broken handle without even removing the interior panel from the driver's door. I was able to use a 3/8 ratchet with a quarter inch extension to get at the bolt. Use a 1/4" ratchet if possible as there won't be much room to work after installing the new grip. I'm giving a 4/5 star ratingโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Product broke after two weeks

Our original 1995 Ford F150 door handle lasted over 20 years; However, over time and daily use, the plastic failed and broke at the point of attachment. We ordered a replacement Dorman 77178 Ford driver's side interior door handle and received it within the stated delivery time. The plastic looks lighter than the original. If you've ever dealt with the interior trim of a door, you know it's a chore, but installing a handle is easy enough. It took me less than half an hour to make the handle and

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Crumpled

Good for a PLASTIC pen, I thought it was metal.

This is an exact replacement for the original PLASTIC pen. It's easy to install, let's see how long it lasts. The product picture looks like the metal version I had in my truck (both sides) when I broke the driver's side the other day I quickly ordered this because the picture looked EXACTLY like the metal version I had. Imagine my disappointment when I opened the box and found a matte gray plastic handle. Well, it was only a few dollars. and now I can open my door from the inside again. If itโ€ฆ
