Question:

Two questions. 1. I have a 2016 Toyota tacoma. It has a push button start, and does not have an ignition key. It does however have a key for the tailgate. Will the tailgate key work with your hitch pin locks? 2. I also will be purchasing a Lock n Roll articulating hitch. Their website says that Bolt locks will work for locking the hitch, but I am not sure that they are long enough. The existing pin is 1/2 inch diameter and I think around 4 inches usable length. Do you have a locking pin that will work for that? Thanks

Yes, the BOLT hitch lock part # BL7023584 does work with the key of your 2016 Toyota Tacoma that unlocks the tailgate. This lock has a usable width of 3.55 inches which would be more than enough to be used with a Lock N Roll Articulating Hitch like # 336VS511 as the shank of the Lock N Roll is same width as any standard 2 inch hitch accessory.
