Same thing happened to my 91 pickup a few years back. I got a new handle from the local auto parts store, Advance, I think. Anyway, they didn't have the black plastic one. They did have a chrome version. I'm not a huge fan of chrome, and really wanted the black plastic to match everything else on the truck, but the new handle was metal, which was a huge plus. I think it was $30 or so.



... found a black one:
parts america handle.

 

try ebay

http://search.ebay.ca/search/search....ailgate+handle

lots of them for less than $10

 

I paid 6 or 7 dollars for a plastic 1 at Advance

 

ok thanks its a pain to open when its broke

 

wow i went to autozone they couldnt get it, napa it was 81 bucks, and schucks was 80 bucks u all got a hell of a deal

 

ouch! I didn't know the black ones where plastic.. seems like a wierd way for toyota to save money..

 

Wow man thats unreal, I KNOW i paid less than 10 dollars for mine because i was kinda surprised it was so cheap, It was in the section where the have the ' HELP' parts, with the window handles and door handles

 

should be cheaper if not close to the price for the inside door handles. freakin 30 bucks at the dealership.

 

OEM part is $25.68 at https://www.1sttoyotaparts.com/partscat.html That's Bob Bridge Toyota right there in Washington. They're cheap & fast.
