Dorman - HELP Tailgate Handle P/N:77074

The tailgate handle is the outside grip you pull to release the tailgate latch. Over years of use and weather exposure, the original can crack, seize, or snap, leaving the tailgate hard to open or stuck. This replacement gives you a fresh handle to restore that operation when a worn or broken original is the cause.
