Product Description
2007-2013 Toyota Tundra Chrome Tailgate Handle Cover, 2 Pieces (DH27148)
DH27148 puts chrome on the Tundra's tailgate handle. QAA lists this two-piece chrome plated ABS tailgate handle cover kit for the 2007-2013 Toyota Tundra pickup, in both 2-door and 4-door versions, so the same part number is listed whichever cab you drive.
Two tailgate kits for the same Tundra
QAA catalogs two tailgate handle kits for this truck, and the clearest difference is in their notes:
- DH27149: two pieces, "Includes camera access"
- DH27148 (this kit): two pieces, with no camera access listed
The catalog does not state whether DH27148 has a camera opening, so if your tailgate has a rear camera at the handle, DH27149 is the kit that QAA specifically notes as camera-ready. If your truck has no camera at the tailgate handle, either could suit; compare the product photos or call us to choose.
Fitment
Toyota Tundra, 2007 through 2013, seven model years, listed with 2-door, 4-door, and pickup truck body styles. The Fitment tab shows the row as QAA catalogs it.
Material
Both pieces are ABS plastic, chrome plated with a polished finish, imported. ABS can be molded to the tailgate handle's shape, and the plating gives the bright chrome look.
Installing at the tailgate
The covers use 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape. QAA states the tape will hold for a lifetime without causing any damage to the surface of the vehicle. The tailgate takes road spray, mud, and dust, so it needs a thorough cleaning. Wash, degrease, and let the area dry completely. Dry-fit both pieces, check from a few steps back that they sit evenly, then press firmly for a few seconds. Give the tape time before slamming the tailgate. The Installation tab has the full steps.
Complete the Tundra
QAA also lists these parts for the 2007-2013 Tundra:
- GC27145: one-piece gas door cover trim
- WZ27145: four-piece wheel well fender trim molding
- WZ27145-AP: four-piece wheel well fender trim molding
The two wheel well listings have the same description, piece count, and fitment, and the catalog data does not state how they differ. Look at the photos of each or call us before ordering. The gas door trim pairs naturally with a chrome tailgate handle, since both sit at the rear half of the truck.
The view from behind
Other drivers see the tailgate more than any other part of a pickup. A chrome handle at its center is a small detail that gets noticed, and because the cover goes over the existing handle, the tailgate works exactly as before.
Before you order
Walk to the back of your truck and look at the tailgate handle. Note whether there is a camera lens at the handle, and compare the handle shape with the product photos. Confirm your Tundra is a 2007 through 2013 model. With those three checks done, choosing between this kit and DH27149 is straightforward, and you can avoid a return.
Pairing with the doors
If your Tundra already has chrome door handle covers, a chrome tailgate handle completes the look so all the handles match.

Installation tips: Tailgate Handle Cover Kit
- Unpack all 2 pieces and match each one to its position on the vehicle, using the product photos, before fitting any of them.
- Each piece mounts with 3M automotive-grade acrylic foam tape, so clean and dry the mounting surface first; the tape needs paint or trim free of dirt and wax.
- Align the piece and press it firmly into place, working along its full length so the tape bonds evenly.
- Fit one piece at a time and compare each with the product photos and the pieces already in place.
These are general tips. Follow any instructions packed with your kit if they differ.
