Locking Tailgate - Where was key?

Where did you find the key for the locking tailgate? I've got a smart key fob and it's not the little key that's hidden in the fob. That one only unlocks the doors and glove compartment.

Where is the tailgate key?

 

I assume you've already called and asked the dealership who sold it to you and who is your primary resource for "I'm missing things from my new truck" issues.

 

Mine came on a second key ring with fob#2, but others have found it in the glovebox. Some people didn't get it at all until they went back to the dealer, so get a flashlight and go searchin'. If you don't find it, go yell at your salesman.

 

Mine was in the glove box. There is only one and it looks like a regular key. Many on this forum had to ask the dealer as they didn't receive one.

Looks something like this.

 

Your dealership is holding it ransom.

 

It was in my salesman's hand when he handed me it and my two fobs

 

Ssme here. Along with a statement as to why its stupid that they only give 1 key and not 2, so go get a copy.

 

Ha, mine said something similar, but it was "I don't know why they don't make the tailgate match the key inside the fob, but I don't design them...here ya go".

 

I'm guessing the lock and tailgate are assembled on a separate line somewhere and then they don't have to worry about matching up the right tailgate with the right truck.

 

Smart kid, good head on his shoulders. He is going places.

 

$40,000 truck and they only can give us 1 key... Toyota must be broke or something. Let's all feel sorry for them!

 

Sales guy handed mine tailgate key to me attached to the key fobs.

 

That doesn't jive with MT trucks getting one key for everything.

 

Just out of curiosity, what are "MT trucks?" Tried Google and just got dealerships in Montana.

 

Manual transmission trucks .I believe no smart key. So no seperate tail gate key. All in one.

 

Manly Transmission

 

Yep My MT just has one key.

 

Maybe the lock assembly for the electronic doors is different. I don't know - just a guess.

 

Mine was in the glove box. Check center console too, maybe. There's a little spot under the center console lid that apparently perfectly holds the tailgate key. I just keep mine on my key ring.
