Dorman 15727 Tailgate Handle for Ram Trucks

Dorman 15727 is an OE FIX metal tailgate handle for select Dodge and Ram trucks. It replaces the original handle with a more rugged design that matches factory fit and function, while omitting the camera hole and key hole found on some OE versions.

This black tailgate handle is built to restore exterior appearance and provide a more durable repair for trucks that see regular tailgate use. It is a direct-fit replacement for the factory-style handle on compatible Ram 1500, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 applications.

Detailed Description

When the original tailgate handle breaks from rust, dirt, collision damage, or repeated use, Dorman 15727 provides a replacement built to address the common failure point. This handle is engineered for select 2009-2012 Dodge Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 trucks, as well as 2011-2012 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500 models. It is designed to restore normal tailgate operation without the camera opening or lock key opening found on some factory handles.

The black finish helps the handle blend with the truck’s exterior, and the metal construction supports a more permanent repair than the original failure-prone design. This part cross-references OE number 55397292AB for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Solve

• Broken or cracked tailgate handle
• Handle failure caused by rust or dirt buildup
• Damage from collision or impact
• Worn factory handle from repeated opening and closing
