tailgate handle broke

i did the same thing. the handle has like two hooks that come off it, one (or both) of those hooks broke in two. so just the handle, but has the hooks attatched to them. i got a metal one at the local JY for 15 bucks. id say go that route. i doubt autozne will have one in.
once you get it, you just undo these little snap things that hold the rods in place, and pretty much just swap it out. its easy. the only adjustments you might have to make is how much play the rods have.

Mine just broke as well on my 2006...I had an 87 mustang so I'm used to parts coming off in my hand. Unfortunately they don't have a steel clone on Ebay for the large handled late model rangers. I got another plastic one and then just recently had to go back in and tighten up the rods to it. It's a little plastic clip you pry open, move the rod until there's no play, seat it and re-clip it.

i broke mine last year. If you have a bed liner take the bedliner off of the tailgate. Take the bolts out of the thin metal piece on the inside of the tailgate..once that pops off you'll see the entire handle device...i just replace mine with a stock on and so far its been good this past year.
