I hear you on the extra keys... It isn't like cars in the early 80's didn't have locking fuel doors. Tailgate power lock/unlock would be nice too...
Was thinking of an inside locking DEF cap... But at $94... That cabinet lock is looking a lot better.
Ford
and of course then you should probably get the fuel cap lock too.
-- or --
If you don't like the bling of a chrome locking door, they make it in powder coated black. For me not so bad as y truck is tuxedo black. But others may want to get it painted to match. Cheaper than the DEF lock alone at JEGs. ($57.99 free shipping, except to me in Alaska...) Don't have any experience with any of these products... Just things I was looking at.

not sure if anybody else sai this yet but that DEF cap is the big one like on our firetrucks not the small one on my F350

FWIW I used the weather resistant cam lock from McMaster. They even have a combination lock (no key) that's black for folks that don't want extra keys or chrome.
It's my understanding that locks purchased from RV stores use, IIRC, a #57 key. The same key every RV owner in the country has. Not much security there. I could be wrong on that though. It's been 20 years since I owned an RV.

I have 2 spares........I think I'll use one for the fuel door along with an alarm switch.
