I hope non chip keys will be avaliable on future XL versions. I don't like chipped keys. Want to make copies for $1.25 at hardware store and don't want the bulky key (along with others) in my pocket. John

I know the gas keys are chipped but I guess some of the diesels are. I know my dads truck key isn't chipped.

Some have chips. Some don't. Get a regular key made and try it. I did even though the dealer swore it wouldn't work...

I saved $200

When my mom had her expedition it was chipped and we tried to have a key made and it didn't work on turning the truck over, but it would turn on the accessories and would open the doors which ones fine considering that they already had a fully working chipped spare key that came with it.

It may not even have a chip inside of it, I have not opened it to see. They may have needed a bigger key just to put the Harley emblem on it.

Ok I'm sorry, tex where you from?.....(I couldn't resist the forest gump scene where he didn't know where tex was from) lol. I know you got a awsome truck thats what I was looking for originaly but I think the HD is a little more ME. Although I do live on a big ranch? Cattle all the way around my Ranch style house.

I looked at the HDs but the opposite of you, the King Ranch was more me. However, i just deal in horses not cows(they can be a lot more pain then horses to deal with, imho). I do like the later ones though alot more then when they came first came out.

Yea I grew up around horses, My mom barrel races. I always had to break them, then my evil step dad got the idea of buying pony's around Christmas at the stock yard to sell them to people for their kids x-mas gifts. I don't really know how he made out, But I am shure of it that all those ponys where 10x harder to break than a quarter horse. They where a pain
