I found out on my ‘24 a hidden feature…. if I’m standing outside the tailgate and I press the lock button the tailgate locks with the door locks. If I stand “in” the bed and press the lock button it doesn’t lock. Apparently, Ford doesn’t want us to get locked in the bed. 🤫🤫
It's Aggie-proof! But I hope you're serious, because now I have to go try this out. :D

Help! I went out to try this phenomenon and all my doors AND tailgate locked. Now I can’t get out! 😉

Yes the Maverick drivers side does lock itself. I took me 2024 Lariat to the dealer and whatever they did, the problem is corrected.
I guess an electrical/module malfunction is always possible, since it's intended to be unlocked/locked remotely.

But you won't have any believers unless you actually caught it on video - because no one has.
Most have come to realize the DIY nature of the issue.

Yeah, the dealer showed you how to open the door correctly… without hitting the lock “lever”on the driver’s door as you exit. 😎😎

Does your tonneau cover have that emergency release from inside, for just such an occurance?!

Phew, yes it does, thanks, I never would have thought of that. Much like the batteries in the hybrid, my phone was getting low! 🤣 Just kidding hybrid owners. Merry Christmas to all. 🎄⛄
