Toyota Tundra Ignition Switches & Lock Cylinders

The Toyota Tundra was originally intended to be named the T150 in accordance with the naming scheme of its predecessor, the T100 truck. However, when the Japanese carmaker unveiled the concept version of this full-size pickup, there followed a lawsuit from Ford, since the nameplate of the new Toyota truck seemed very similar to the F-150. Therefore, the new truck was called the Tundra. Some automotive magazines noted the considerably small size and modest exterior of the new pickup, and even expressed doubts that the vehicle could compete with other American trucks. But already for the 1st model year, the Motor Trend edition selected this vehicle to be their truck of the year.

The ignition lock cylinder performs an extremely important role in the vehicle’s ignition system, or, to be specific, in its security. You have to turn the ignition key to start the engine, and there has to be a specific key that will make the engine start. In order to make sure that you will not have to wait for a tow truck with a non-starting engine, it is crucial to keep the lock in top shape.
