Possible idea: Remove bottom of door card (re-useable plastic rivets) to gain access to the boot release switch.

Apply 12volts across the switch connectors to try and trip open the boot.

If you're into the cab already, see if there is a 'ski hatch' behind the rear armrest, should open up and give you access to boot.

Stink! We did that once in an Audi ended up paying a locksmith. I like TXC's idea if you still have access
