Genuine Toyota Accessories PT276-34071 Spare Tire Lock for Select Tacoma and Tundra Models, Silver

This product is fine for what it is but not really needed. Construction seems good and it took me about 15 minutes to install, including dropping the spare and hoisting it back up again. All you have to do is press it into place.Turns out my 2017 Tacoma spare can be locked to the spare tire carrier. The part of the carrier, which supports the spare from the bottom has a little nub that gets inserted into one of the holes in the wheel. This nub has a hole in it for you to insert a padlock and secure your spare.There are a couple benefits to this approach: 1) A padlock makes hoisting a wheel back up under the frame much easier because it keeps everything in place while you crank it up. 2) A key to a small padlock is much easier to carry and hide than the key that is included with this product.There are also a couple of drawbacks: 1) A padlock is slightly less secure because if someone wanted to, they could just lower your spare and cut the padlock or chain with some bolt cutters. However, this might not be a big deal because it would take a pretty determined thief and everyone knows most thieves are lazy. If they weren't lazy, the would be out there working a 9-5 or in school like the rest of us, instead of stealing spare tires.2) If you dont buy the right padlock, it could freeze up after being exposed to water, dirt, salt, and extreme temperatures over an extended period of time. Make sure to pick a lock that is made for outdoor or marine use.

I called the dealer and they said part PT276-34071 would fit my 2024 1794 Toyota Tundra. The Amazon site said it wouldn't fit and several web site searches said the same. I bought it anyway and it did fit perfectly. The parts click onto the factory jack and hoist socket attached to the truck with no problem. It was a 5 minute install, tops. As presented, this is a Toyota OEM part.

Excellent product. Does exactly what it says it does. The opening flange that guides the key in is an improvement from earlier models.Note, this does not fit on earlier models, so note the description on the site for the correct model years.

Does not fit, had purchased this in case of an emergency in 2021, and I come to actually needing it and come to find out on the side of the road that this is not the right key for my 2011 Tundra TRD. So check before you buy.

An extra layer of security and easy to install.

Not sure how many crooks out there have this but after moving back to the big city and having my spare stolen already, I purchased this. Easy to install, slips right on and tap it in with the crank tool, a block of wood and a hammer. Must have the "key" to be able to lower the spare now. Very nice. Quick ship, well made and solid., Recommended. Cheap insurance.

Replace the one that fell off while driving, not sure why they will or would fall off pretty dumb but this replaced it no issue. Reminds me, I should go check to see if it’s still there

Installed in a few minutes. Strapped some pieces of fire hose to truck frame to keep frame from damaging tire. Also I recommend installation of wheel master 82286S spare tire inflator to keep tire inflated. Don't forget to put a piece of foam pipe insulation to stop the stainless steel hose from rubbing on the tire sidewall.
