Any thoughts on what part I need to replace here? Actuator? Liftgate latch? Thanks,
This is 3rd gen section. The rear hatch locking mechanism might be different on yours a 4th gen. This thread might help.

I have a similar, extremely hard to open hatch, but my issue ended up being different than others share here:

Found it was an issue with the lock mechanism—when holding the handle open the lock would still stick in closed position. Issue ended up being that the plastic coating on the internal moving part (the latch) of the lock was frayed/bunched up and causing it to catch. Cut off that little nib of a plastic that formed and the mechanism no longer catches when the handle is pulled. opens like a dream now.
