Default tailgate handle to button conversion

New member and I've searched for this with not much luck
I have a 2023 XLT with manual pull handle, but have rear view camera and trailer zone light. The tailgate locks and unlocks along with the rest of my doors. My question is i'd like to get a colour matched tailgate handle along with the push button release to replace my current one. Would someone know if this would be direct plug and play between the 2 styles? I thought maybe it could be possible as most of the wiring for the other accessories I have there is already there. Thoughts?

it is not plug and play AFAIK. The power release is controlled by the BCM, I'm not sure if the BCMs are different or not
