I would want some clarification on this as well. Just seems to easy to have your truck stolen and the door handle is a 10 second defeat with the right tools based on what I've read so they wouldn't even need to smash a window.
I'll be honest I'm shocked Ford designed a door handle so easily defeated with all of today's technology. Hopefully they will update that soon if they haven't already.

 

With keyless entry , I would hide the key in a RFID container, that way the signal would be blocked and the truck won't know there is a key inside

 

You can set your own code too , makes it way easier to remember. I also have another code for other people so that I don't have to give them my own

 

 

I use it to open the tailgate all the time - slick feature.

 

Is there a button at the keypad that does that?

 

Yeah, put your code in and then hit 5. Hitting 3 unlocks all of the doors too.

 

So the RFID container is in center console ? You put a spare key in that a lot and use key pad to get in. And with that key inside the rfid holder you start and drive the truck ?

I have never had a key pad on any of my trucks so I’m just trying to understand it

Nice thanks, Ill give that a shot.

 

Wife and I went off-road rock picking in our 2013, it had the keypad, she locked the doors thinking I had the keys, but I had left them in the console, so in the middle of inaccessible-nowhere we managed to lock the keys in the truck, I’d never used the keypad feature except when I first got the truck and put in my own code. Somehow 3 years later I managed to remember the code which for me is highly unusual.... Sure saved my butt that day.

 

Birthday for the code guys....
