They are the same color. I would get one in black to make it harder to mix upMy FOBs... The choice should have been obvious (the one that says Maverick). ...Brain fart excused.
Another good reason for push button starting!We all do things that are dumb in life. Some dumber than others.... Yesterday, when leaving for an appointment, I was unable to unlock Trucklet Destroyer of Worlds due to a dead battery. The forum posts regarding dead battery issues had now come to me. It was 5 degrees in Chicago. So I added that to a possible cause. In a panic of missing my appointment, I opened the key fob to access the emergency door lock key. The key barely fit into lock slot and wouldn't unlock the door. I was running out of time so I decided to call an Uber and barely made my appointment on time and then Ubered home after ($70). This morning, I spent considerable time researching my truck's owners manual and searching this forum to determine what is the problem with both the truck's battery and the access key. I anticipated calling the dealer for help and maybe a tow. ...Until it came to me ...and I'm embarrassed to admit this.... I had been using my wife's Volvo key. I then went out with the correct key and all is good with the world. Even dumber, in reviewing the manual, images of the Maverick fob were much larger than the key I had torn open. I kept going with the assumption that the 2024 Lariat fob was now flat and half the size (as is the Volvo fob).

I have different keychains on the fobs - Maverick has a Philippine peso; CRV has plastic square with Chinese characters; daughter's Subaru has a DAD chain. Easy to tell the difference
Go easy on yourself. We have all done a number of dumb things. Yeah, this is a head slapper, but no one hurt nor damage to anything but your pride. Unintended consequence? You've just alerted a bunch of people to double check which keys they grab.We all do things that are dumb in life. Some dumber than others....

demitruck?"Trucklet", my wife calls her maverick a " half a truck"
err, remind me not to ask you to pass me a power tool while I'm under the vehicle!
Just be glad that you didn’t try to insert your “key”!
Hopefully it doesn't come in on 3/15....
My lariat Maverick has the larger fob than the XLT and also has the dealers "buy 4 get one free oil change punch tag" on its key ring.
