The Pop & Lock Custom Tailgate Handle with Lock # PAL5400 that you referenced is confirmed as a fit for all models of the 2005 Toyota Tacoma so it would work well for you. This one will key to your truck door key so that the same key will open the tailgate.

The part numbers # PAL5500 listed as a fit for your truck as well. These use their own keys.

I spoke with my contact at Pop and Lock and he told me the #PAL5500 will work for you. Here is what he emailed me: The reason the cylinder is on the opposite side is because this was our older model #PAL5300. Yes the #PAL5500 will fit this vehicle.

The BOLT key coding that is used in the #PAL5400 can only be keyed to one key. Once you have programmed the lock to a key it can never be changed. There would be no way a thief could reprogram the lock as it can only ever be programmed once.
