Ford Tailgate Handle

If you own Ford and want to keep it in top shape, choosing OEM Tailgate Handle is a smart move. They are precisely engineered and follow strict factory standards. They are made in advanced facilities that use cutting edge technology. Each part goes through thorough testing to confirm strength and safety, so you can trust it. FordPartsDeal.com gives you genuine Ford Tailgate Handle at some of the affordable online prices without cutting quality. Every OEM Ford part includes the manufacturer's warranty, easy returns, and super-fast delivery. So why wait? Shop now and get your vehicle back to peak condition.

Ford Tailgate Handle is quick to open the gate and remains rugged on all deliveries. Practical innovation has been pursued since 1903 with Ford introducing assembly lines, turbocharged EcoBoost engines, SYNC voice control and Co-Pilot360 aids to reduce stress and keep the driver firmly in control on any road, whether the destination is a harvest field, concert lot or a midnight fry run. By proving that electric trucks such as the F-150 Lightning can be combined with zero-emission muscle, yet still delivered with the same workday grit that farmers, builders, and teenagers have been counting on after school, day or night through deep snow, Ford demonstrates that it knows how to combine zero-emission muscle with the same grit. Since city cars to trail hungry SUVs, Ford has only one promise to make: to make the daily grind easier without burying owners in gimmicks and to do it with gear stout enough to be handed down. Constructed using hard alloys and an uncomplicated rotating latch, the Tailgate Handle bangs off mud, vibration, and slamming to ensure cargo access remains fast when the truck is parked on the road or even on a hillside slope. Tailgate Handle is installed by dropping it into place and securing two bolts and hearing the tailgate clicking into place every time the cab is stuffed with groceries, camping gear, or gravel. Off-road flex bends frames but the Tailgate Handle is resistant to warping, it has a heavy pivot pin that ensures the lock path is straight so nothing gets caught when the boots are wet and gloves are thick. One tug of the Tailgate Handle opens the rear door and the attitude of the entire truck is clearly demonstrated by the attitude of a small piece of hardware.
