Stupid panic button
Anyone else set off the panic alarm on their truck frequently? I've had my truck for a week and I've managed to fat finger the remote and set off the panic alarm 3 times when trying to lock it. The key fob on my old Silverado had the panic button high up and away from the lock/unlock buttons so this one is taking me some getting use to.

I did it twice on our first camping trip... the keys were in my pocket and somehow the panic button got pressed while I was tinkering with the trailer. Luckily it was during the day so it was only a minor annoyance to others. After that experience, I'm real careful with the fob at night (so far so good). I do think the Ford panic button is a little easier to hit than it is for my other vehicles.

There's a panic button? I don't think my fob ever comes out of my pocket long enough to look at it. So no, I haven't set off the alarm.
