Ok guys n gals, I looked long and hard in the owners manual and still could have missed it.

My 2024 Lariat is keyless start, I think everyone knows this but still it’s a first for me.
Is there, an ‘Accessory’ Ignition position ?
Where I can play the Radio or such with the engine off ?
Stay with me,
My electrics shut off after a few minutes. Is there a way to keep it all on with the engine off ?
What if I want to sit in a beach chair in the bed and watch the world go by and listen to some music,
While I catch some rays or burn one :’P
Or is that another thing they eliminated for the Youngers ?
Leaving us old guys out in the back pasture again,
Like they are doing with
Buttons……

Just push the button with your foot OFF the brake. That’s the Accessory Mode but I think it times out after a while too.

As @Jimmyland said, press the ignition without a foot on the brake and you will enter accessory mode.

In my keyed XLT Tremor there were two accessory modes but the 2025 appears to only have one.

Pressing the Start/Stop button with your foot OFF the brake pedal puts the truck into accessory mode. I know this was answered correctly in an earlier post by @Jimmyland so, I'm just adding that he's correct.

I tried it for ten minutes or so.
Was fine, no shut down.
I will assume I can listen to the radio longer if I choose.
Thanks guys.
:XD
So !
Was it in the owners manual ?

My experience is that the truck will warn you when it's about to shut down which you can manually cancel using the steering wheel buttons.

How to turn on accessory mode is on page 157 in the manual.

Love that song! And thanks for the question, I'm waiting on mine, but I would have asked the same thing.
