Keys

i have a 2016 Tacoma TRD Sport. I lost one of the keys so now have one key that fits tailgate. Should that key also fit drivers door or did key I lost fit drivers door?When I tried to use key that fit tailgate on drivers door it would not go in. But little square key from keyfob works in drivers door fine. Are there separate keys for tailgate and drivers door or should they work in both or just tailgate? Can not get answer from dealer they do not have a clue. Thanks

 

The key inside the fob is a back-up for the driver door. The separate ¨regular key¨ is tailgate only.

 

Thanks so I should be able to get a new key made for a nominal fee not an arm and a leg cause all it does is open tailgate. Any opinion on modification of getting tailgate to lock when you lock doors on truck?

 

As far as the mod goes, there have been a few members do a pop-n-lock. I don't have any personal experience with this, so I won't try to sound like I know.

 

See if this will get you in the right direction

Pop n lock makes a power model that works with the keyless entry.

 

First thing I did when I got the truck was run to home Depot and had 3 copies of the tail gate key made.
