My key works fine in all the other doors and the key can turn to the locked position in the tailgate lock, but it won't turn to unlock it. What can I do to get the tailgate unlocked and fix this?

it sounds like the internal locking assembly is bad. i have seen this happen with a door lock, and they had to have the insides of the lock cylinder repaired.
just on a side note, could something be frozen?

Unfortunately, if the key turns one way, lubing the cylinder won't help. The problem most likely lies inside the tailgate with an actuator rod or the latch itself.

Probably frozen lock cylinder. Try anti-freeze lock spray.

use your original copy to your truck. the key you use everyday becomes worn and smooth and
will not work in everything or check the grooves on your key and make sure they are clean.
