Description

Designed to hold your tailgate securely closed, the Dorman tailgate latch, part number 38670, is a tailgate latch assembly from Dorman - HELP. It installs as a direct-fit replacement on the listed applications, and this 1993-2011 Ford Ranger tailgate latch is cataloged for both the left and right positions.

Direct replacement: Designed to match the original latch's fit and function on the listed applications.
Restores functionality: Made to fit and intended to restore latch operation after the original latch fails.
Durable construction: Built from quality materials for reliable performance.
Trustworthy quality: Supported by a U.S.-based team of product experts with more than a century of automotive experience.

The tailgate latch engages its mating striker to hold the tailgate shut and releases it when the handle is operated. Over time, wear or damage can cause signs that the latch may need replacing: a tailgate that won't stay latched, won't release with the handle, rattles, or pops open. If a failed latch is the cause, this assembly replaces it. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for complete application details.

What does this tailgate latch do?

It engages its mating striker to hold the tailgate closed, then releases when the handle is operated so the tailgate can be lowered.

What are signs a tailgate latch may need replacing?

A tailgate that won't stay latched, won't release with the handle, rattles, or pops open. Diagnose the cause first, since a worn handle, rod or striker can cause similar symptoms.

Follow the vehicle's service information for removal, linkage connections and fastener torque, then check that the tailgate latches and releases properly before driving.
