Did My Truck Have A Key FOB?

I just bought a '95 F150 4X4 Eddie Bauer X-cab. It has a 300-six and the 5-speed stick transmission. I'm sure it has almost every option, but was confused when he just gave me a key and no FOB. He's not the original owner, but he said he never had one. Didn't all of these trucks have a remote FOB for locking/unlocking the door locks and the OEM alarm? Just want to make sure before I order a new FOB and then find out my truck never had one!

Thank You!

'95, I don't think they did. Factory alarms didnt really come around until recently and even then, Honestly, They suck. I remember on one my grandfather bought new in '95 shortly before he checked out of this hotel called life it had a key fob with a little flashlight that he had to plug into a port under the dash in order to start the truck and once started he could remove it. Don't remember what it was called, I was like 10 or so at the time.

Ford had keyfobs as far back as I think 90, not sure when they came out on the trucks, but I want to say 94.

my 94 Bronco had one. Look under dash just to the driver's side. Mine had a gray box up there. Plenty of info on the net about how to find it and then how to reprogram a key fob. I bought one off the internet. Pretty easy to do.

Pic of the general thing...didn't get a good picture.

I have a 95 EB and didn't get a key fob with the truck. I did however find the RKE (remote keyless entry) module under the dash and bought the FOB off of e-bay and got it to work.

Check out this thread, it should have everything you need to know. https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/9...ess-entry.html

Edit: I was just a hair too late on my response. I see that Midnight1987 already posted the link.

I stand VERY much corrected. But I would like to know what the device was that requires a fob to start it and I think it was factory. Anyone have an idea?
