Remote Start

It seemed that the key type remote start didn't have very good range so the other day I experimented and found that I had been pointing the key towards the truck and had to get what I thought was to close to be worthwhile. Was at work inside large concrete building and pointed the fob part towards my location (key facing me) into the parking lot and tried it and it was running when I got out. Big improvement since I park half a block from where I pushed the button.

Remote start is a great option, nice to have the truck all warmed up when you get ready to leave on a cold night. I've got a '16 F350 KR dually, the farthest I've tried mine was from about 50 yards away ...... started right up.
