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.
