T1ATailgate Handle Upgraded Metal - Compatible with 1998-2011 Ford Ranger - Textured Black - OEM 1L5Z9943400AAA, 1L5Z-9943400-AAA, 1L5Z 9943400-AAATEX, 77872, FO1915109

Bought this lock instead of metal because I read a review that the metal handle was too beefy to work with the pop lock. I fit perfectly with no problems. Same quality as original. Still plastic so I don’t know how long it will last. Should last long enough to get my money’s worth. Easy enough to install if it needs replaced again.

I prefer the plastic handle because it won't burn my fingers like a metal handle after being in the sun. And its less expensive. This part is OEM GRADE, nobody will ever know it was replaced.

As expected was advertised as an durable plastic original equipment item and it was, a 15 minute job, looks and functions great. An affordable purchase, I recommend it. Oh did I mention speedy on time delivery.

It was easy to install and appears to be very durableLooks good too

An all metal design, really easy to install (just don't over torque the mounting bolts/nuts). Looks great and definetly a reasonable price with fast delivery.

Installed this in 5 mins on my 2001 ranger. Quality seems good, works well. Would recommend.

Replacement for a 2007 Ford Ranger P/U's broken tailgate handle. Very easy removal of old one and installation of the new one. Hardest part was lining up the two studs. 10mm nuts on studs.

Overall great product, fits perfect. Very durable love the all metal design. The cheap plastic broke on me. Super solid all around no bends. Only issue is that is does not fit my tailgate lock because of little inner latch

se ve de muy buena calidad e identica a la original, funciona muy bien

So I called Ford to get a quote on replacing my handle. $50 for the stock plastic handle and $120 for "45 minutes of labor". Well maybe they should hire me, because I was able to replace mine in 15 minutes including the bed liner removal. BUY THIS HANDLE.The biggest failure in the Ford stock handle is that the arms are plastic, mine broke off in my hand (that's probably why you're here too, isn’t it?).This baddie is solid metal with a gorgeous matte finish. A YouTube tutorial will get you on your way, and saving $150 bucks will get you a tank of gas and then some. Only $10 more than the plastic stock handle on Amazon, and you'll never have to replace it.

No fuss, no muss. Fits right in and does the job. No issues!

I have a Ford Ranger and have had to replace the tailgate handle twice in the last two years. The model I received from our Ford dealership was a very flimsy plastic one and both broke within a short time. This handle is metal and well built. It installed quickly, fit with no alterations and has worked flawlessly since its installation. A definite home run.

OK
