The exterior handle is the part you pull on the outside of the tailgate to release the latch so the gate can be lowered. Over time, a handle can crack, work loose or stop springing back. If a failed handle is the reason your tailgate won't release, this replacement takes its place. The latch and linkage can cause similar symptoms, so check them too. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for full application details.
