   Yes, because there are two that come with the truck.

   OK...  We are talking about a Tacoma, right?

   As I saw in the Toyota service docs on techinfo, the key isn't taught   
   anything, the truck is taught to recognize each key via the service   
   port.   
      
   It's a similar process with door remotes, except you can do remotes   
   without the dealer's OBD computer.  The 05+ Tacoma (and I believe the   
   04+ 4Runner) can "know" four remotes and four keys.   
      
   If the SECOND master is lost, I'm sure the Kilobuck is easily   
   attainable!
