Rear door handle strength.

[kennyosemite]

Haven't yet taken delivery of my truck yet, but saw an H3 here in Yosemite Valley this afternoon that had a broken rear door handle (wish I had my camera at the time, but didn't). Upon closer look, the entire assembly of the rear handle appears to be plastic (not just the "appearance package" covering). Granted, the weight of the door is more than most SUVs due to the mounted tire; but has anybody experienced similar problems, and if so, have replacement alternatives / solutions? (Pardon if this was discussed in a previous thread . . . I'm relatively new to these Elcova forums). Thanks.
