Hi, I'm Mike from 1A Auto. I hope this how-to video helps you out, and next time you need parts for your vehicle, think of 1AAuto.com. Thanks.
In this video, we're going to show you how to replace the tailgate handle on this 2005 Ford F150. It's the same part and similar process on these F150s from 2005 to 2013. The items you'll need for this is a new tailgate handle from 1AAuto.com, 10mm socket and ratchet, T30 torx bit or driver, and a flat blade screwdriver.
Start off by removing these eight T30s and depending on your bed liner, you may be able to only access six of them at first. Once you remove those six and pull your bed liner away, you can then remove the two underneath it. Flip this panel out of the way and then remove this 10mm nut and this 10mm nut. We'll fast forward as Mike does that. Now just lift up on the latch and pull the handle studs out of there and then just maneuver the handle until you pull that top part down and out. Pull out this clip and lift your lock cylinder out.
On the left is the old tailgate handle. On the right is the chrome one from 1AAuto.com and it will fit exactly the same. Push your lock cylinder into the tailgate handle and feed the tailgate handle up into the door, lifting the latch up. Once you get the handle up and in, push the latch down onto the studs and replace those two 10mm nuts. Then just tighten those, checking every once in a while that it's staying lined up. Now just test it out. Make sure that it locks and unlocks. Then you can remove this plastic.
Take this panel, put it back into place and line it up and then replace the bolts to hold it in place. Then replace your bed liner and the bolts that go through that into this panel.

Great product
Works fine!
Perfect fit and the video made it very easy to install.
Works great!
Really impressed with the product and ease of installation. 5-Stars all day long!
It was perfect I was able to get it fixed before my boss noticed I smashed his tailgate. Two snaps up.
I installed the handle and conducted operation of opening the tailgate, the handle would stick in full open position. I had to hit it (Fonzy style) so that the handle would reset. Difficulty installing the lock tumbler also. I reinstalled the original latch handle, threw this one in trash, and began search for OEM product.
Very timely delivery and perfect fit will order future parts from 1Aauto
Perfect fit easy to install really cant beat the price. Will definitely use 1aauto again.
Handle was perfect, and price was good , and service was excellent. Ill be back.
