Key to lock the Tailgate?

I’m looking for a key to lock my tailgate I purchase my truck slightly used and it came with two key Fobs and the key that pulls out of the key fob. The key locks the glove box but what about the tailgate, my buddy has the same truck and his key Fob key locks his glove box and his tailgate am I missing something

 

There’s a separate key for the tailgate.

 

I have a key for the tailgate only.........perhaps the original owner lost it or kept it.

 

2017s and up have the universal key in the fob. 2016s definitely need the factory tailgate key.

 

Dang well any advice haha

 

Call up whoever sold you your truck and ask them where the key is.

 

Go to a Toyota dealer and have them cut you a key. They can do it using the vin number of the truck.

Or a locksmith should be able to do the same

 

Install a pop n lock or do this

I am root

 

That same key should also unlock and lock the tailgate just insert the key flat side to the left and turn to lock and unlock.

 

That doesn’t work on the 2016 evidently

 

My apologies, forgot to look at what year you had. My dad has a 2016 and same thing with him.

 

Check under the center console, the key fits the pen holder nicely. They may have stashed it there.

 

Get ready to be told different things by dealers. One told me they would have to remove the tailgate liner, get the lock number, and laser cut a key with an estimate of $461. The other asked my vin number and made me a key in less than 5 minutes.....for free. Guess which one will get my future business.

 

Ftfy

 

Interesting

 

This!

 

I don't get this....I have a 2016 SR5 with 1 key. The key works in the drivers door (if I don't use the fob), works in the glove box, locks or unlocks the tail gate and is the ignition key. There is no 2nd or 3rd key for me.

 

These are the ones with the push button start. No actual key for the door.

 

Vin number doesn't always work. I ended up pulling my lock cylinder, & having a couple of keys made at a locksmith, $25.
