Specs At A Glance

Good To Know

Q: Does this metal handle include the plastic bezel or trim ring? A: No, it is the metal latch handle only; you re-use your existing bezel or purchase one separately if yours is damaged.

Q: Will this handle work if my tailgate lock rod is bent? A: It is designed for straight, undamaged lock rods; a severely bent rod may prevent smooth operation and should be straightened or replaced first.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
