Abstract: A tailgate assembly includes a structure, and a handle assembly attached to the structure. The handle assembly is moveable relative to the structure between a stowed position, an intermediate position, and a deployed position. The handle assembly includes a handle portion, and a mounting system attached to the structure and rotatably supporting the handle portion relative to the structure. The mounting system supports the handle portion for rotation about both a first axis and a second axis. The handle portion rotates about the first axis to move between the stowed position and the intermediate position to position the handle portion outside an interior space of the structure. The handle portion rotates about the second axis to move between the intermediate position and the deployed position, whereby a user may grasp the handle portion.

Abstract: A tailgate assembly includes a drum that is rotatable about a drive axis, and an actuator for rotating the drum. A first cable is attached to the drum, and is spooled about the drum in response to rotation of the drum. The first cable extends through an opening in the tailgate structure, and is attached to a sidewall of a cargo box. A first guide assembly includes a first roller guide defining a first roller groove. The first cable is engaged with and guided by the first roller groove. The first guide assembly redirects a path of the first cable, and is rotatable relative to the tailgate assembly about a first guide axis. The first roller guide rotates about the first guide axis to maintain the first cable within the first roller groove as the tailgate assembly rotates about the tailgate axis between an open position and a closed position.
