Great product as it was an exact perfect fit for my 02 F150 Lariat truck. It took me less than 10 minutes to install! I removed inside panel of tailgate to access the hatch, unbolted the old handle, removed my lock from it "less than 10 seconds" installed it in new handle, reinstalled and it fit perfectly in the old handle indentation molded in the tailgate! I of course had my cordless Dewalt drill and attachments to remove the inside panel of the tailgate :) which made it much faster to install! Before I installed the back panel I shut tailgate a few times to make sure it worked and it did. However I did adjust the rods coming from the new handle that goes to the latches on both sides of tailgate. I did this because I knew they needed adjustments before the old handle broke on me. The gate now works just like new and couldn't be happier! 287,000.0 miles & 18yrs. later my truck still runs & looks like new, despite of the heavy use it gets daily hauling material! You just can't beat a Ford truck, as this is the longest lasting truck Iv'e ever owned! Dodge was the worst truck hands down! It was a POS truck in shop always getting something fixed on it!

The lock form my old handle fit well and it included the clip to hold it; very easy to install, less than 10 minutes for the whole process.

This was a very good and perfect fit for my 2000 Ford F-150. Is the exact size of the one that I took off. It is plastic construction with metal on the inside for the bracket and the fastening housing but so was the previous one. My other one probably broke because it is plastic construction but once I put some WD-40 on the inner part of the tailgate where everything else connects it makes it really easy to open. So I would suggest doing that because the harder it is to pull open the last amount of time it's going to last due to the plastic construction.

Great part and easy to replace. Be sure to grease the latches on each side of the tailgate. If I had done that prior to pulling too hard on the handle (breaking it), I probably wouldn't have needed this part. Nonetheless, a good value it's working great.

I ordered this for my son's 2000 F250. His handle broke and he needed a replacement. This handle fit right in and works beautifully. We had removed and replaced the handle in about 5-10 minutes.

I have a 1998 Ford F150. I had to buy this because my old door latch cracked. The door mechanism clips that hold the rods in place had broken and I pulled really hard on my lap thinking I just wasn't pulling enough but it broke. After removing the two nuts that hold this into place, all you have to do is pull on a metal clip that will release the lock mechanism. Installation is the reverse and takes about 30 seconds to swap. Now, my door and latch on my tailgate are as good as new

Old one on the truck was always hard to open and finally the handle broke off. This new one looks good and works fantastic, even the wife can open the tailgate now.

During the replacement I took the time to oil all the friction points from the handle to the locking pins. Tailgate opens with an easy pull now. Handle looks just like OEM except shiny and new.

This handle was so very easy to install... I would recommend this product to everyone who needs a new handle for their truck , hubby kept using screwdriver to open once his handle broke and I just had to order for him so he could have the ease of opening his tailgate with ease again.

bought this to replace the original Ford part on my 1999 F150. Had the old one out and the new one installed in less than 30 minutes. Works better than the original part.

I accidentally snapped mine off one day and thought it would be a pain to replace, but this wasn't too hard and seems sturdy and not cheap.
