The exterior tailgate handle is the grip you pull to release the tailgate latch so the gate can open. Over time, a handle can crack, break, work loose or stop releasing the latch. If a worn or damaged handle is the cause, this Dorman unit replaces it. A faulty latch or linkage can also keep a tailgate from opening, so check those parts too. For a 1993-2003 Ford Ranger tailgate handle replacement, this handle is a direct-fit option.
