There is always a certain degree of play in any steering system, it is inherent in the design. Also, on the Toyota trucks,... as well as other mid-sized suspension trucks, if you have oversized tires at all, this will make a difference to the play in your steering. The steering assembly is designed for the stock tires. If you change the size of the tire, or if someone else has changed the size of the tire, it will be affected. Do you notice the same degree of play at the end of the turnng radius?? when you crank the wheel all the way in one direction? Or does it seem to stop early? It could imply that your steering assembly is not the correct length.
Moving forward
This happens to my 98 4runner every so often. Today it was really bad - couldn't move the steering wheel or move the key. I put it in neutral and literally got out and pushed it. That did the trick, steering wheel unlocked. Moving the tires seems to help...
Moving forward is Toyota's slogan
the steering wheel is connected to axles, the axles changes angles thus moving the rims.
Try moving the steering wheel from side to side.
