Someone posted a while back about installing a magnet to keep the cover shut. He said it works great...

yah i was looking for a black gas door a while back and couldnt find any aftermarket ones for our truck. they might be out now though Im not sure. Maybe cause we have a square gas door?

I was searching for something like this, but for our truck

Yea I looked for after market stuff but didnt find any. the square cover must not be popular. let me know if you find anything

a good body man could do one up ,probably would not be worth the money

The Navara comes with a lockable cover .I dunno if anyone has tried to fit one but its an option

I think that the round ones are popular because they look like the LeMans quick fill gas caps used on race cars. You know, look fast be fast. A body shop could modify your truck to accept the round design, but I am sure it would be a little pricey. Might look good though and that would automatically justify the cost.

I have been looking for one since I bought my truck. No luck

Yeah you would probably have more luck with this and maybe even get the pull release off another car at a salvage yard. That would be sweet, without access to the release inside the truck they would have to rip the gas door off to get to your gas. Most thieves will not do that. Any locking gas cap goes about as far as me having a flat head screw driver. Its a joke how easy they are to get off.
