You are 100% right. For about two or three years now, the pasenger side locks have been omitted.

More people use their FOBs than do a key. FOBs have Panic buttons on them, and can be used to open power doors or liftgates etc etc, so people have gone to the FOB and seldom use a key. They don't FREEZE UP in the Winter either.

I had this lady about 3 years ago acting frantic trying to get into her Grd Cheorkee. He infant baby was inside and crying and she was pushing buttons on the FOB to no avail. As I approached her, she pleaded with me to help her because she thought the batteries in her FOB were dead and she needed to get into the car, for obvious reasons. I took the keychain from her and commenced to use the key to unlock her door. When I opened her door she stood there and told me how embarassed she was for forgetting about using the key. TRUE

Tell him to wear one around his neck like he would a monitor.

Was there a Security System in this Highlander? sounds it.
Don't order a Factory Installed Security System, take it to the Security System EXPERTS to have one installed.

That seems to be true about the keyless Entry and the lack of a Passenger lock. You can go to the Salesmen/Service and they can do an OPTION REPORT based on the vin. If the Option Report says there is Keyless entry, they OWE you TWO key FOBs.

If your brother bought a truck with MANUAL LOCKS and no Power locks, it is very possible not to have a cylinder on the pasenger door.
If he has Power locks, then he can push the unlock button on the ddrivers door and it will unlock the passenger as well.
If he does NOT have Power Locks, then he may check with a Local Car Starter Retailer and see if that can be added with a Starter, inexpensively.

Who said it was SUPPOSE to come with a Passenger side Lock?
They don't make them that way anymore. If you have Keyless entry, then all he has to do is push the UNLOCK button twice and the passenger door WILL BE unlocked from the outside.
If he has Power Locks, he can unlock ALL doors from the driver's side with a push of a button.
If You do NOT have Keyless Entry, he did NOT pay for a outside access to a door lock, because that is NOT how they are made and it is NOT an option.
You may have an Issue due to Handicap, but he will need to write to the BIG BOYS at GM HQ.

If your brother ORDERED this truck, he should have a copy of all of the CODES that were ordered for the truck options. If that Lock Option is not on the Sales Agreement and his signature is, they owe him NOTHING.
Your brother may have a case with GM HQ as I said before and as KT pointed out and ANN very politely tried to imply.
I have a STUPID question for your brother, he said "This was my normal routine (my old truck S10)--I would take the tanks out to my truck, unlock the passenger side door, lay the tanks on the floor, close the door, go around to the driver side door, unlock it, get in, and drive away."
WHY DOESN'T HE LAY THE TANKS ON THE FLOOR IN THE BACK, ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE? That way he can unlock from the driver's side and won't have so far to go to get in and drive away.
