Question:

Hi, I ma looking at the replacement tailgate handle PAl5409 for my 2015 tacoma. My question which is the ultimate concern is the durability of the plastic handle. the degree temp in Maine is significant especially in the winter. I am concerned with the cold temp regular use may snap the handle. Have you received other feedback and what is your experience with this product for durability thank you.

We have sold quite a few of the Pop and Lock tailgate locks like the part # PAL5409 all over the country and have yet to hear about one of them snapping in cold weather. This would work well for you and would not cause any issue.
