I think your sentiment is spot on, but your root cause is a bit off the mark, at least as far as this forum goes. Your second sentence seems to be implicating some younger, TikTok-addicted group - but it isn't generally Gen Z Maverick owners who are starting new threads every day like "LOOKING FOR TAILGATE LETTERS" and "DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH MUD FLAPS."

"Google-fu" is apparently a generational skill set, and it never ceases to amaze me that people who can master starting a new forum thread don't seem to be able to leverage the world wide web for basic information requests. 🤷‍♂️
So perhaps the older generation is smarter to not be taken in by basically ads for the influencers with older gen marketing. They are thrown at me to view - slide on by.

Don't all the search sites with AI produced synopsis provide the source sites for the info?
Wondering if the older gen are getting responses to searches, but don't trust it - but then fail to go to the linked sources.
Which in this case would bring them to specific thread where a likely 1 page of posts would provide enough info.
(unless it's these multiple pages we start having fun with)

Bill,
That only works as long as you have Wi-Fi available and the phone is not locked inside the truck, as the OP "Julie Harris" stated, 'The car immediately locked me out with my phone, keys, and dog inside.'

But will the mystery of the Mav "automatically" locked me out ever be resolved...
I might have missed that episode of the X Files... :wink:

At 14 pages, this thread and a large number of others comprise the "Never Ending Story" that should have been resolved with a single sentence:

To prevent being locked out of the vehicle, ensure the manual lock lever adjacent to the door handle is not pressed into the locked position as you exit the vehicle...
What do you mean Grasshopper?? It HAS been solved...many moons ago. Do we need another thread?? :clap: :clap: :clap:

My bad - I should add a NOTE: SARCASM but I didn't, and I don't want to start a thread on how to update a post... NOTE: MORE SARCASM... :wink:

Well, it was.
Past performance is not necessarily a reliable indicator of future results due to subject matter and mood changes. :wink:
