Who, at Ford, is responsible for designing the door-pulls backwards? They should cantilever the other direction. smh

Most likely the dude that understood that that was the best way.Who, at Ford, is responsible for designing the door-pulls backwards? They should cantilever the other direction. smh

Ergonomically, I agree with you. It was most likely an aesthetic decision, given the shape of the rest of the assembly.Who, at Ford, is responsible for designing the door-pulls backwards? They should cantilever the other direction. smh
Typically, these parts fall within the interior design team's responsibility.
We certainly will complain about anything.

In my view, this discussion is rather weak even on ergonomic basis. The main use of the cantilever is to close the door, the door is open and the pull is toward the arm rest where the switches are. It's doubtful that the hand would slip off in that case.
But, each of its own...

Reversing the door handle direction could be seen as a safety issue. Would create a snag potential when exiting the vehicle.Who, at Ford, is responsible for designing the door-pulls backwards? They should cantilever the other direction. smh

I find my hand naturally falls in the right place on this, and it just works. It seems a good design to me.

People complained about this same issue on the Sport Trac....but I also own that truck too ! So....I don't seem to mind 
Besides is it not true that the definition of a cantilever is "fixed one one end and as such cannot move and if it does move

Maybe I misunderstood?
I assumed the OP was referring to the angle of the pull section, with a top-rear bias. A bottom-rear bias would be more ergonomic, as it relates to your hand coming in on a slightly downward angle to engage the pull.
If he meant the pull should be forward of the assembly, that would make no sense.
Maybe he will clarify his thoughts. I took it as more of an observation than complaint.

I'm not going to lie and say I haven't been standing at my desk trying to close an invisible door both ways. I find the way the Maverick is designed more comfortable.
Personally I like it I’ve had passengers say cool idea
