Red tailgate hinge anti-theft lock for Toyota Tacoma 2005-2015

Red tailgate hinge lock for 2005-2015 Tacoma

This red anti-theft collar is listed for the Toyota Tacoma from 2005 through 2015. It is intended to restrict tailgate removal at the hinge. The two ring-shaped halves open around a shared screw and close into one collar, with white liners visible inside the opening.

The fastener has a security-pattern head, and the pictured kit includes a driver bit. There is no key cylinder or conventional key shown. This collar serves a different purpose from a tailgate handle lock or a remote locking actuator; it does not add a keyed latch to the handle.

Compare your hinge before ordering

Check the hinge shape, collar opening and surrounding clearance on your truck, especially if the tailgate or hinge has been replaced. The photos do not give an opening diameter or confirm compatibility with every aftermarket hinge. The truck-bed illustrations do not add other vehicles or later model years to the listed application.

Keep the supplied bit where you can find it if you need to remove the collar. Use your truck's own tailgate handling instructions, available through Toyota's vehicle manual selector, and check that the fitted collar allows normal tailgate movement and closure.

This is a mechanical deterrent accessory. No tested security rating or resistance to forced removal has been confirmed.
