The exterior tailgate handle is the outside grip you pull to release the tailgate latch. If a worn or broken original handle is the cause of your tailgate trouble, this handle replaces it on the listed applications.
A tailgate that won't release can also come from the latch or its linkage, so check those before you order a new handle.
