Since it has a keypad, can you leave the Smart Access key inside the locked vehicle or will this mean anyone can then open the vehicle since the key is in proximity? Example you're going for a walk/swim/etc. and want to leave the key in the locked vehicle and want to use the Keypad to unlock.

Can the Keypad be reprogrammed?

I don’t believe it will let you lock it inside. You can probably put it in a metal container or foil then lock it.

I used to do that very thing on my '08 F150; leave my keys in the truck and lock/unlock the door using the keypad.

I had a 2017 F250 and downsized to a 2018 F150 and had keypad on both. You could lock your keys inside the vehicle like at the beach or concert via the keypad. I love this feature. Wish I had it on the Lexus.

If it must be locked via keypad can the other key unlock it or can it only be unlocked via keypad?

You hold the bottom two buttons down on the keypad when you lock it and it won't let the car door open by proximity, you can still use another key to open with key fob button though, just not by proximity. That way you can lock key inside and use number pad.

Not something I had considered. This is on the XLT trim standard right?

Does the XLT come with Intelligent Access and proximity doors, or are you asking about the Keypad?

I guess both actually? I didn't really see clarification on the keypad on the build.

Does anyone know what the current Ford key fob looks like? My father-in-law has an Explorer (maybe 2015 or 16?) that has the biggest, clunkiest key fob I've ever seen...

No clue, but the uglier they are, the more expensive they get.

mine of my former uncles had an rfid lock card for his car, when he approached it the seat warmed up, unlocked the door and when he sat down the car started. I don’t think he ever used his fob.

me… I have a smart fob with tile tracker that says Yo, idiot did you leave your key’s someplace? Let me show you were they are on this map and play a sound till you find them.

but I need that.
