Hi, looks like digging into it more, the old style like mine (2008) was used through 2015, new style started 2016.

See pictures below. I'll have to check the year but it was bought in 2019.

I had one where the ball bearings were overloaded and turned the ***** to powder and one where the bolts holding the column together loosen up putting a huge amount of slop in the steering wheel.

My '16 has one, and it's broke. I'd stick with using the steering wheel.

For the Driver's Side Grab Handle, you need the anchor welded onto the A-Pillar. It's not going to be as simple as swamping the trim piece. I'd post a picture as my pillars are bare at the moment, but it's just not worth my time.

Guess I'll have to buy one to get pictures of the inside and how it mounts.
