I just went through this myself and had a key made at the dealer. You can get a plastic covered head on the key or just regular metal. Just give the dealer your VIN number. Go ahead and get the key code too in case at some point the key code goes off their book (with older cars that can happen sometimes). The dealer will be happy to give it to you. Your car may have had a replacement ignition switch put in at some point and maybe they did not rekey the doors/truck at the same time. On my 1990 Supra I have one key that works in the ignition, door and hatchback. I am not sure how other models are. A professional locksmith could do it too, but I would start with the dealer. Good luck, you'll be ok!
