Dorman - HELP Tailgate Handle P/N:80208
Dorman 81078 tailgate handle for the 2008-2014 Ford F-150 and other vehicles replaces the exterior handle you pull to open the tailgate. It is a direct replacement that fits and works like the original handle.
A cracked, loose or broken handle, or a tailgate that is hard to open from the outside, can mean the handle needs replacing. The tailgate latch or its release linkage can be behind those signs too, so find what is at fault before you buy.
It fits as a tailgate handle for the 2008-2014 Ford F-150, the 2008-2015 Ford Lobo and the 2008 Lincoln Mark LT. This listing is one handle, and the 2008-2014 Ford F-150 takes one.
