Yep, 96 has RKE, Remote Keyless entry, from the factory. If you search for RKE you will find more info, I'd post some for you but I'm on the wrong
computer.

you can get the keyless entry fob on ebay anywhere from 10 to 25 bucks.

ok, to confirm what everyone else said, if you have the XLT package, you have keyless entry from factory. mine has it, and still works. previous owner may have lost it, but you should be able to go to ford and get a new one without spending too much.

Do "ALL" XLT's come with keyless entry? I have 265k miles on mine and the keys are a little...um...worn. Didn't get any fobs when I bought it but they're everywhere on eBay.

look up under the dash i want to say a little to the left of the ash tray and there will be a black box that is about 4" x 2" x 3". I think it has a label on it identifiying it as the keyless entry module. it has an antenna wire plugged into it with the same type of connector that is on the radio antenna wire. i'm glad someone brought this up because i had nearly forgot that i had mine with all the brain power i put into modifying the truck. my drivers door has become a real pain to get unlocked with the key, sometimes i just give up and go around to the other side to get in. of course i need to repair the power lock in the driver's door if i want the key fob to work, it never ends

thats definately good info on how to tell...
MY understanding of it(how i was told) is that xlt's after 95 or 96 came with it...
dont know if thats correct but you could always check.
