My 2017 Ford Ranger had a broken tailgate. The metal construction was significantly more durable and strong than the OEM part that broke. It fit perfectly with no modifications needed. Easy job. Doesn’t come with instructions but if you are unsure a quick trip to YouTube will have you set. Handle has worked well and no signs of scratches or wear after months of use. Review: Excellent quality - I replaced the oem garbage latch with this all metal latch and my god what a difference. Not that it needed it. I did spray a little white lithium grease for added lubricant and water protection. It is smooth like butter. Wish i did this sooner! Was super easy to replace and it fit nicely. Its definitely and looks durable. ## Features - DIRECT OEM REPLACEMENT: Matches OEM part numbers 1L5Z9943400AAA, 1L5Z-9943400-AAA, 1L5Z 9943400-AAATEX, ensuring a perfect fit and optimal functionality for the tailgate of your vehicle. - COMPATIBLE WITH: 1998-2011 Ford Ranger, this tailgate handle integrates seamlessly with your vehicle’s design, ensuring smooth operation and restored functionality. - DURABLE MATERIAL: Made from high-quality metal, this handle is built to withstand regular use and maintain its textured finish, providing durability and reliability. - EASE OF INSTALLATION: Engineered for easy installation, this tailgate handle allows for a quick and straightforward replacement process. - AMERICAN OWNED & OPERATED: Proudly American owned and operated in Detroit, MI, providing exceptional US-based customer support for your peace of mind. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079B16DZ5 | | Additional Features | Easy to Install | | Best Sellers Rank | #8,310 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) #162 in Automotive Exterior Door Handles #2,175 in Automotive Body Parts | | Brand | T1A | | Brand Name | T1A | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 647 Reviews | | Exterior Finish | Textured Black | | Finish Types | Textured Black | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00817801023066 | | Hand Orientation | Ambidextrous | | Handle Attachment Mechanism | Simple Attachment | | Handle Compatibility | Model Specific | | Handle Material | Metal | | Handle Type | Pull Handle | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Outdoor | | Item Dimensions L x W | 4.33"L x 2.54"W | | Item Weight | 0.02 Pounds | | Lock Type | Key Lock | | Manufacturer | T1A | | Manufacturer Part Number | T1A-1L5Z-9943400-AAA-Metal | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Manufacturer warranty for 24 months | | Material | Metal | | Material Type | Metal | | Model Number | CA2306737 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 4.33"L x 2.54"W | | Shape | Rectangular | | Specific Uses For Product | Vehicle Door | | Style | Simple | | Style Name | Simple | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![T1A Tailgate Handle Upgraded Metal - Compatible with 1998-2011 Ford Ranger - Textured Black - OEM 1L5Z9943400AAA, 1L5Z-9943400-AAA, 1L5Z 9943400-AAATEX, 77872, FO1915109 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81JllHCNWUL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect Replacement Part or Upgrade *by A***R on October 18, 2025* Very pleased with this upgrade.

These are much thicker and should last longer. It installed easily. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tw/products/101220730-t1a-tailgate-handle-upgraded-metal-compatible-with-1998-2011-ford](https://www.desertcart.tw/products/101220730-t1a-tailgate-handle-upgraded-metal-compatible-with-1998-2011-ford) --- *Product available on Desertcart Taiwan* *Store origin: TW* *Last updated: 2026-10-03*
