Felt a bit overwhelmed and confused on the latch assembly before coming across your excellent video. Thank you very much!! Well explained and easy to follow. Really helped.

This is a superb video. Excellent instruction. I bought an inexpensive replacement latch handle for $23 instead of the very expensive OEM $200. No problem at all. Thank you.

You are a lifesaver sir. This video was clear and simple to follow. Thank you for creating this great “How to” video. I almost had my local “stealership” take my money before I decided to give it a try myself. Thanks once again.

An absolute life saver! Your video was very thorough, and user friendly. You saved me $$$ from having to take the truck in and having it repaired! Thank you!!!

Excellent video and good instructions. My latch broke with the gate closed. On the 2011, you can remove the cover from the inside and pull the rods to open gate before starting replacement. thanks, robert

Best instructional video I have seen and used! Just successfully replaced my tailgate handle, thanks to this video.

So, I was on a fishing vacation with my two sons and when we arrived at a lake to fish, I went to open my tailgate and discovered that my tailgate latch handle was broken...of course my tonneau cover was closed and I couldn't open my tailgate! A little disappointing since all the fishing gear was locked in the bed! Luckily we were able to push the tonneau cover enough for my son to sneak his arm in and unlatch the tonneau cover! Luckily for me I stumbled across this video and was able to fix it myself for cheap! I paid $25 for an aftermarket one on ebay! Thanks for the easy to follow "how to"! 👍

Omg @6:03 is a crucial step and I was stuck not being able to open until I came across this video. Good work.

Just bought my new latch on eBay for $12.00. Not factory ... Great review.

Thank you for the video! Just replaced mine today with ease because of this!!

Thank you for this wonderful/thorough video. I appreciated the help!

Excellent video Easy to understand and follow. Thanks to Robert Dungan's comments, mine broke in the closed position also.

Thank you very much for having this post. It really is as easy as you make it look. I changed out my Tundra tailgate handle in less than 10 mins.

Thanks for posting this video! Replacing my handle was a piece of cake.

Thank you for posting this. Will be replacing mine tomorrow.

Thanks for the video, huge help. My gate was stuck shut so had to remove the panels while closed.

Gonna change my 2010 handle now. Thanks bro, good job!

Thank you!

Thanks buddy

Once I got the part for about 30 dollars US it took 10 minutes. Thanks

Hey buddy, where've ya been? So you have a back up camera??? LOL, Seriously? My my, life is getting easier. going to send you an email later.

Do you know the size of the bolts that hold the latch to the body, for whatever reason both of mine are missing

Where's a good place to buy a new Key Cylinder? The dealership? I bought a new tailgate but the handle has no lock.

Will this process work if the tail gate is closed?

Wow. Did you put all that grease on there, or is that the way Toyota packages them? If so, I'm going to grease mine up like that.

I bought mine from eBay for 40$ and they had it at O'Reilly for 100$ but my tundra has no camera.

Can you do this with the tail gate in the up position? I broke the handle off lol

I bought a cheapy on rock auto 10$. Seems solid enough though

Put tape over the lens after you remove the camera.

My cheap Chinese replacement handle broke after maybe 5yrs. Probably worth buying one every 5 years over the stock part.

20 bucks on Amazon, either way I'm doing mine today.

Cool, looks easy as pie, the chevys arent as fun because you can't take that panel off....

Those handles are $30 on Amazon.

How about your braces?

Dorman makes a handle for around $55 US. Not as sturdy looking as the OEM.

FYI, Amazon has handles available for

I bought this part for $23.95 from parts geek
