Locking fuel door
Just bought a 2018 F150 SuperCrew . With all the remote locking doors and tailgate you would think they could have put a remote lock on the fuel door. I realize the ease of refueling with no gas cap but what is going to stop some kid or Ford hater from dumping sand or sugar in your tank. Any Ford or after market solutions? I'd rather keep the original door. Sure would be nice if it locked and unlocked with the remote.

Unless you can open the flap AND put a tube down the fill tube, anything dumps out on the ground. That's why ford gives you a special funnel behind the seat to pour gas in if you run out. If you open the flap with a gas nozzle and not push it in and squeeze the trigger, your shoes will get doused.

Some Rummies pouring something down there,You really have to use the Supplied funnel to get something down there,Like stated it will just go on the ground hopefully on
