Get your truck bed secure again with the Dorman - OE Solutions Tailgate Latch Actuator 746-173, a direct-fit replacement for the 2015-2023 Ford F-150, 2017-2022 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2017-2022 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2017-2022 Ford F-450 Super Duty. This is the electric actuator that drives the tailgate latch, and it is designed to match the performance of the original equipment actuator on the specified vehicles. If a failed factory actuator is the cause of a tailgate that won't properly close or lock — or a key fob that won't trigger the tailgate's open/close function — this unit replaces it.

  • Direct replacement: designed to operate the tailgate latch like the factory actuator on the listed applications.
  • Built to address failure: engineered to help restore proper tailgate closing function when a factory actuator is damaged by corrosion, wear, or collision impact.
  • Durable construction: designed and manufactured to strict specifications for reliable performance.
  • Trustworthy quality: backed by a team of product experts in the United States and more than a century of automotive experience.

Dorman lists this part as a non-integrated door lock (trunk) actuator.
