Have you tried with and without the Autounlock on? With it off maybe that double pull of the inside rear handle will work.

Unless they have a pulse and they pull the locks up.

Interesting seeing that. The 22's have a few different features compared to my 19. The 2019 manual has no wording describing any two step process of opening the rear doors. They wont unlock unless the unlock button is pressed or the drivers door is opened after shutting off. Must not be a safety concern since it was that way for several years. I do understand that if it says it should work a certain way then it should.

My 2022 350 KR has a major safety issue. However it isn't just mine. None of the 2022's my dealer has received can perform this major safety issue. The issue is the rear doors will not unlock if you pull on the interior handle. No matter how many times you pull will it unlock an open the door. If you actually read your owners manual, yeah who does that, you will find on page 84 the very first thing written is how to unlock and open the rear doors. Pull once unlock pull again to open. My dealer has contacted Ford directly as mine, and 3 others they have, do not do this. Their service department doesn't even know how to fix this. They did also receive 2021's on the same truck load and all of those do this action correctly. The dealer and their service department believes this will become a recall as if the cab is smashed to the front doors there is no way for the rear passengers to exit the vehicle unless they know the old school way to pull on the physical lock stalk sticking out of the door. Be advised as to when you use auto lock.

just checked my 19 it’s same as yours. You gotta pull the lock up to get out. I think I’d prefer it this way personally so my kids don’t inadvertently open the doors cruising down the road.

permanent child lock in the back seats. "THESE DAYS" (vehicles made recently) most all cars work like that...even locked you can get out in the event of an emergency unless you deliberately use the child lock on the rear seats. Also, most cars built now don't even have a plunger to pull up to unlock the rear doors. It's a simple 2 pull action to get out...again for an emergency.

I posted the question previously in this thread but I don't think it got an answer....on the 2022, if Autounlock is disabled do the rear doors open with the double handle pull?

I agree to the extent that the doors should function as described in the manual. Keep in mind that up until 2021MY Super Duty (vehicle made recently) the rear doors did not function in the manner described in your 2022 manual, and there was no such description in the owners manual. They required the unlock button to be pressed, or the drivers door to be opened after shut off, or the lock plunger to be lifted. Were they death traps for children? I haven't found any data to make me think that.

Huh? Then lock the doors and try it haha. When you start to drive the doors Autolock, not sure if that can be turned off, Autounlock can be turned off though according to the manual.
