Default New tailgate handle. Which one?

Ok guys my truck with a cracked tailgate handle. It's black bezel with the chrome handle. I am looking at a replacement since the crack is about to become broken. I see on car part the one it looks like I need.

https://www.carparts.com/tailgate-handle/dorman/rb97696?&vehicle[year]=2018&vehicle[make]=Ford&vehicle[model]=F-150&vehicle[submodel]=XLT&vehicle[cylinders]=6&vehicle[liter]=3.5

Now my only concern with that is it says with camera hole and with keyhole. I don't have a keyhole. I have a camera and a light. Is this the same handle I need?

Also would this one for a 2017 work? It is about half the price

They both say they fit wether I pull up one for the 17 or an 18. Thanks in advance.

You should probably get the handle for your model year and trim level, whatever they are.

right that's what I'm asking. Do some have a light in place of a key hole?

ok thanks. That's how mine is. I figured the light replaces the keyhole. It's listed as a keyhole on the part. I ordered the right one then. Just strange the one i ordered fits 15 to 20 but the half price one fits 15 to 17. At least i know i have the right one

Reach out on this contact form and Nathan will respond quickly. He will tell you your exact part #. Consider buying the part from them too as their service is excellent and have good prices.

Also note that Ford no longer sells painted parts, so it will come primed if yours is painted from factory.
