The tailgate handle is the outside grip you pull to release the tailgate latch so the gate can be lowered. Signs it may need replacing include a handle that is cracked or snapped, feels loose, or no longer springs back to its resting position. A tailgate that won't open can also be caused by the latch or its linkage, so check those parts before you order. See the Buyer's Guide tab for complete application details.
